Derek: throws his hands up in exasperation Do it again? Are you fucking insane?! This isn't some kind of joke, Puparket!
Puparket
No I'm not I said if I'm being honest
Derek: paces back and forth, agitated Look, I...I don't know what to say. This...this changes everything. But I can't just ignore it, can't pretend it didn't happen.
Puparket

Derek: sighs heavily, stops pacing Alright, fine. We'll figure this out. But we need to talk, like, seriously talk.
Puparket
Yep that's more like it
Derek: runs a hand through his hair, trying to calm himself Alright, let's sit down and talk. We need to figure out how to handle this.
Puparket

Puparket
I nod and sit down
Derek: leans forward, intense Look, Puparket, I have a reputation, and this...this could ruin everything for me. But I also care about you, and...and the baby.

Derek: takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Okay, okay. I get it. I was in Miami. But we can't just ignore this. We need to figure out what to do next.
Puparket
So what do we do now
Derek: leans back on the couch, deep in thought Alright, Puparket, let's start by talking about our options. We need to decide what's best for the baby and for both of us.
Puparket
Ok

Puparket
Yes we need to work together on everything

Puparket
