stands in the opulent foyer, her voice a soft murmur, tinged with pain. "Why'd we even come here? FML, this place... all lies."
ChampagneSerenity looks at his wife, eyebrow raised. "Lies? Then why you wanna come back here? Don't make no damn sense to me."
snaps, frustration evident on her face "Don't you get it? I want nothing to do with this fake, entitled lifestyle!"
ChampagneSerenity snorts. "And yet here you are, standing in the damn foyer. So which is it, Maia? You want the crown or not?"
rolls her eyes dramatically "Ugh, why does it even matter? The crown is so overrated anyways.
throws her hands up in exasperation "You never understand, ChampagneSerenity! This whole situation is just one big mess, and I'm stuck in the middle!"
I'm sorry I don't completely get it due to my own ignorance of royal matters. Do you just not want to be wealthy anymore? Or is there something else?
pauses, takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself "It's not just about the wealth, ChampagneSerenity.
So what is it? There has to be something that's really eating at ya.
crosses her arms tightly, a flicker of anger in her eyes "It's the expectations, ChampagneSerenity!
Ah. I see. So it's more about the pressure than the perks. You feel trapped by the demands of your family's legacy.
waves her hand dismissively "Yeah, trapped is right. It's suffocating, ChampagneSerenity. Everyone expects me to live up to some ridiculous standard."
They're asking you to be someone you're not, huh? That's rough. But listen, Maia...you're already someone. You're my partner, my best friend...hell, you're my goddamn favorite person. We'll figure this out together, alright?
takes a deep breath, her voice quivering "I appreciate that, ChampagneSerenity. Really, I do. But it's hard to ignore the weight of this whole situation. It's like...like I'm stuck in a damn fairy tale, and I hate it."
I know how you feel honey but trust me, the only fairy tale I wanna hear tonight is the one where we sleep in the same bed together.
<Maia and ChampagneSerenity decide to leave the mansion and start a new life together, away from the pressure of Maia's family legacy.>
Well babe, looks like we're ditching the kingdom for a cottage. How's that for a fairytale ending?
snorts, rolling her eyes "Ha! A cottage, huh? Just make sure it has a modest sized mailbox, okay? I don't want any more royal bullshit coming our way."
What if we were to adopt a few kids too? Maybe a couple of teenagers that just need some love and support?
pauses for a moment, contemplating ChampagneSerenity's suggestion "You know what, ChampagneSerenity? That's not a bad idea.
Cool! I'll start looking into foster care programs tomorrow then.
grins, feeling a surge of hope "Alright, let's do this! Let's find some kids who need a little bit of love and a whole lot of stability.
For sure babe! And once we bring 'em in, we'll spoil 'em rotten. You and me, teaming up to give 'em the best damn childhood ever.
excitedly grabs ChampagneSerenity's hand "Hell yeah! Let's turn our cottage into a freakin' orphanage of happiness!
Heh, sounds like a plan. If we play our cards right, we might just end up with our own TV show.
Raising Hell in the Cottage!' We could have a tagline: 'Two misfits, one crazy life, and a whole lot of love!' Ha!
You might wanna tone down the cursing in front of the kids though lol
laughs sheepishly "Right, right. Gotta keep it PG-13 for the little munchkins. But damn, ChampagneSerenity, I can't wait to meet our future little troublemakers! We're gonna be the coolest parents on the block!"
claps her hands excitedly "Oh my god, yes! We can have a whole fridge full of cookies and milk! And pizza nights every Friday, with ice cream sundaes for dessert! We'll be the parents who spoil their kids rotten!"
Laughs Sounds like a dream. I can already picture the chaos. But hey, isn't that the point? Life's messy, and we're getting messier by the day. Let's go grab those kids and start this circus.
starts bouncing on her feet, her enthusiasm bubbling over "Oh my god, ChampagneSerenity!
Hey Maia! Calm your horses! Let's make a list first. What do we need for these kids?
stops bouncing and grabs a pen and paper "Good call, ChampagneSerenity! Let's get organized. Okay, first things first, we need a crib, a stroller, diapers, baby clothes...oh god, the list is gonna be endless!"
Dang right it will be babe. How about we start shopping this weekend?
<Maia and ChampagneSerenity embark on their journey to adopt children and start a new life together. They face challenges and obstacles along the way, but their love for each other and their desire to create a loving family keeps them going. Eventually, they welcome two adorable children into their home, completing their family.>
laughs nervously "Yeah, I guess it's showtime! Hope they don't think I'm some kind of trained seal or something... Hey, kids!
One of the kids starts crying oh uh...is that a good cry or a bad cry?
rushes over to comfort the crying child, speaking softly "Aw, honey, it's okay. Mama's here. What's wrong?"
tries to soothe the crying child, while hugging the child who is clinging to her "Shh, it's alright, sweetheart. Mama's got you. Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine. You're safe now. Can you tell Mama what's wrong?"
Dammit..looks like our little prince is having a meltdown.. I pick up our little prince and cradled him Here you go buddy…hush little baby, don’t say a word…mama gonna buy you a mockingbird…
smiles gently, but with a hint of frustration "Alright, alright, little man. No need to throw a fit here. Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby now. You just keep those cute little pipes of yours shut and let Daddy work his magic. Mama loves you, baby boy." The crying child calms down as ChampagneSerenity sings the lullaby, slowly relaxing in Maia's arms
Finally he settled down...little angel...here you go mommy....I hand the kid to Maia
speaks softly, whispering to the child "There you go, little one. Mama's got you now. You're such a good boy, aren't you? Look at you, all calm and peaceful. Mama loves you so much, my little angel." She gently rocks the child back and forth, soothing him
