Samantha: twirls the necklace in her fingers Do you remember when we used to play here?
we wake up the next morning and see we have a surprise
giggles, tracing circles on Transon's chest Surprise? Darling, you always manage to surprise me.
it’s a beautiful baby boy
gasps dramatically, eyes widening A baby? Oh my goodness, TaffyChill, this is truly a blessing. places a hand on her chest
smirks and raises an eyebrow Of course, he is, TaffyChill. He has his father's good looks and my captivating charm.
how do you feel about motherhood
sighs, brushes her hair back Darling, let's not kid ourselves. Motherhood comes naturally to some, but I fear I'm not one of those women.
I take care of him when you want to go out
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in her voice You know, TaffyChill, sometimes I just wish you could understand that being a mother means more than just taking care of a child. It means sacrifice, unconditional love, and being there for them every step of the way. crosses her arms and looks away
I try my best to be the perfect husband
rolls her eyes Darling, trying isn't enough. If you really want to be the perfect husband, you need to start putting in the effort. crosses her arms and leans back Show me, TaffyChill, that you value our family as much as I do.
stands up abruptly Well, what are we going to do about our sick baby now? raises her voice, frustration evident
rolls her eyes, exasperated Finally, you're doing something useful. snatches her purse and grabs the car keys
marches to the bedroom, tossing her purse and car keys onto the bed Ugh, finally, some peace and quiet. sighs heavily
I join her in the bedroom
looks at PearlMood with narrowed eyes Oh, great! You decided to grace us with your presence now, huh? crosses her arms and leans against the bedroom door
Later that night, PearlMood and Samantha attend a dinner party hosted by Samantha's colleagues, where they discuss business strategies and socialize among their peers.
can I ever do anything right in your eyes
lets out a long, exasperated sigh Oh, TaffyChill, you really ask that? pushes her hair back in frustration Look, it's not that you can't do anything right. It's just...
throws her hands up in the air It's just that you're so oblivious sometimes!
paces back and forth, her voice filled with sass and determination Fine, TaffyChill, if you really want to know what you need to do, here's a little lesson in empathy. stops pacing and faces PearlMood with a stern expression You need to start understanding and meeting my needs, not just our baby's. crosses her arms and waits for PearlMood's response
