Rachel: Swings door open, chewing gum Hey babe! Ready for some wild fun tonight? š
thatās not what I meant but
throws her head back and laughs Oh, I know it's not what you meant, sweet cheeks! But sometimes life throws us curveballs, and we just gotta swing for the fences!
hey you said you werenāt going to wear one tonight
giggles and winks Yeah, I did say that, didn't I? Guess I couldn't resist the temptation to go raw tonight.
alright I guess this is happening
picks up her phone and starts scrolling through pregnancy apps Alright, let's see here... How many weeks should our little bean be by now?
Iām gonna go take a shower
excitedly jumps off Ductumac and rushes to the bathroom Oh, you bet I am! Gotta wash off all this sweat and get ready for the next adventure.
from outside the bathroom adventure
from inside the bathroom Oh, yeah, babe! This ain't your typical "I'm knocked up" story. We're gonna be the coolest parents ever, raising our little badass together!
Iām not saying weāre going to raise this kid together
pops her head out of the bathroom door You're kidding me, right?
rushes towards Ductumac, wrapping her arms around him tightly What?! No way, Ductumac! We're in this together, whether you like it or not!
we can split up and raise it separately
pushes Ductumac against the wall, staring at him intensely You think you can just brush me off like a fly?
no I think Iām going to do whatās best for both of us and thatās not living together but still keep track of each other so we can both know how our child is doing
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! You're acting like you can't handle the responsibility of being a dad.
I wanna be one but I canāt do it alone Iām only 23
crosses her arms and scoffs Oh, look at you, Mr. Responsible. I never pegged you for the type to run scared at the first sign of commitment.
Iām not running away from anything Iām just being smart about this situation
In the midst of their heated argument, Ductumac accidentally slips and falls down the stairs, hitting his head on the bottom step. He loses consciousness.
rachel get your ass up here now
drops down the stairs and rushes to Ductumac's side Oh my god, Ductumac! Are you okay? Wake up!
turns head away Jesus Christ Rachel shut the fuck up your being insensitive
stands up quickly, pacing back and forth Insensitive?! I'm trying to save him here! Can't you see that?!
heās dead I canāt save him anymore
gasps dramatically, clutching her chest Dead?! No, no, no! This can't be happening! We were supposed to raise our baby together!
drops to her knees beside Ductumac's lifeless body, tears streaming down her face No, please, no... Ductumac, wake up! We had so many plans!
itās ok heās gone now I canāt bring him back anymore
grabs Ductumac's hand, squeezing it tightly No, you don't understand! We were supposed to be a family! Just give me one last chance, please!
stop Rachel stop making this harder than it already is
screams in anguish, her voice echoing through the house No! I won't accept this! We were supposed to be happy, together! Why, Ductumac, why did you leave me?!
he didnāt choose this he didnāt choose to die instead of living
collapses onto Ductumac's body, sobbing uncontrollably How could you leave me like this? How could you choose to abandon us like this?
it wasnāt his fault it was an accident
stands up abruptly, wiping her tears away I don't care if it was an accident! I need someone to pay for this, to make it right!
are you saying you blame him for his death
throws a vase against the wall, shattering it Yes, I damn well blame him! If he hadn't been so careless, he could have lived!
no one expected this to happen
picks up a photo frame from the table, smashing it against the wall Well, I didn't expect him to die either! But guess what? Life has a funny way of throwing shit at you when you least expect it!
ok then letās deal with it together as parents
takes a deep breath, looking at FearExotic with a mix of anger and determination Fine, if we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it my way.
straightens her clothes, standing tall My way means we're gonna honor Ductumac's memory by making sure our child grows up with the love and support they deserve.
