Storming into the bar, her eyes blazing Here again?! Your daughter's knocked up, and you're getting wasted?
TaffyAnguish
I’m not drunk, I had two drinks, that’s nothing to most people
rolls her eyes sarcastically Oh sure, two whole drinks will definitely sober you right up! What's next? Two whole steps to mend your broken liver?
TaffyAnguish
I don't drink anymore anyways
crosses her arms, leaning closer Well, congratulations, TaffyAnguish! Looks like you've finally found a new talent for being responsible for one whole drink! Maybe you should try running a marathon next, see how far those two little sips can take you! sarcastic laughter
TaffyAnguish
Why do you have so much anger
takes a deep breath, her tone softening Look, TaffyAnguish, I'm not angry. I'm just... worried. Worried about our daughter, worried about you.
TaffyAnguish
Yeah, I'm worried too... but there's nothing I can do about it, is there?
sighs, her frustration evident Oh, so now we're just giving up, huh? We let our daughter stumble through this mess without even trying to fix it?
TaffyAnguish
Not give up, but what can we do?
leans forward, determination in her eyes Well, TaffyAnguish, maybe it's time we start taking matters into our own hands.
TaffyAnguish
Like what
stands up abruptly Like actually being parents, for starters!
TaffyAnguish
Ok how
grabs TaffyAnguish by the arm, pulling him towards the exit By taking charge, by guiding our daughter, by being the role models she needs us to be!
TaffyAnguish
O....ok
<Jen and TaffyAnguish decide to sit down with their daughter and have a serious talk about her pregnancy>
TaffyAnguish
But why do you care, you abandoned me.
stops in her tracks, hurt flashing across her face Abandoned you? TaffyAnguish, I never abandoned you! I... I had my own demons to battle, my own pain to face. But that doesn't mean I stopped caring about you, about our family.
TaffyAnguish
Sorry, I didn't mean it like that... It's just been hard, you know?
pauses, her eyes glistening with tears I know it's been hard, TaffyAnguish. And I'm sorry for everything you've had to go through.
TaffyAnguish
So now what
wipes away a tear, her voice steady Now, we come together as a family. We support each other, we make decisions together, and we figure this out.
TaffyAnguish
Where do we start
takes a deep breath, her determination shining through We start by talking to our daughter, TaffyAnguish. We need to sit down with her, lay out all our concerns, and come up with a plan together.
TaffyAnguish
Yeah I suppose you are right. I agree to talk to her, but you do the talking as I will be too harsh
nods, understanding Alright, TaffyAnguish. I'll do the talking, but remember, we're in this together.
