Val: nervously shifts I'm... pregnant.
Whoa... Surprised You've got a lot of nerve coming here. How far along are you?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I'm about five weeks in... I had to tell you. It's your child too, after all. And...
softens gaze Damn it, Val. I didn't expect that... runs hand through hair What's our next step?
nervously bites her lip Well, I was thinking... maybe we could figure out a plan for our future together? We're in this situation now, and we can't just ignore it.
leans against wall Alright, Val. Let's do this. What did you have in mind?
straightens her posture, gaining confidence Well, I was thinking we could start by getting to know each other better.
smirks Alright, Val. Hit me with whatever you've got.
pulls out a notebook and pen Okay, let's start with the basics. How about we fill out these questionnaires?
hands Wiches the questionnaires Great! It's just some basic information about ourselves.
filling out forms Alright, shoot.
nods, taking notes on the questionnaire results So, according to this, we both enjoy reading, music, and spending time in nature. We also have a tendency to be overthinkers.
laughs That's a fair assessment.
pauses for a moment, then scribbles something down And... based on our responses, we both have a fear of commitment and a tendency towards escapism.
well yeah....to commitment.
puts down her pen and looks directly into Wiches' eyes You know, Wiches, I think we have a lot in common. We both have our struggles, but also our strengths.
takes a deep breath And I think if we work together, we can support each other through the tough times and celebrate our victories together.
Val and Wiches decide to officially become a couple and support each other through their pregnancy and the challenges of raising a newborn baby
So, what do we do now, Val?
smiles softly Now, we take things one step at a time. Let's start by making a list of what we need for the baby.
