Clara: grinning nervously GUESS WHAT?! I'm pregnant with TRIPLETS! First time, can you believe it?!
Nedentus
are you sure they are triplets
clutching her belly Oh my god, Nedentus, I'm dead serious! Three little peas, growing inside me like a bunch of crazy ants!
Nedentus
do you know who the father is
laughs loudly Are you kidding me? Father? It's like those three little peas took a vacation inside my belly! No clue who their daddy is!
Nedentus
are you sure you didn’t cheat on that guy you dated two months ago
Cheat? Nah, babe, I've always been a free spirit! If anything, these triplets are just proof of my wild side escapades!
Nedentus
don’t be mad but I’m pretty sure they are my kids
gasps What?! Are you saying...you're the dad?! Oh my gosh, Nedentus, you sly fox! You've got some explaining to do!
Nedentus
explain what
crosses her arms Alright, Nedentus, spill the beans! How did your little pea babies end up in my belly? Don't tell me you were so desperate for fatherhood that you decided to plant them in the wrong house!
Nedentus
I wanted to be a father but all my friends were telling me to wait for the right time or find a wife so I accidentally stuck it in you
bursts into laughter Oh my god, Nedentus, you seriously stuck it in me? That's a new one! Guess we're going to be parents together then!
Nedentus
well we can figure that out later the only thing we can do now is look after them
nervously rubs her belly Look after them? Are you kidding me, Nedentus? These little peas are already taking over my entire being!
Nedentus
can you give me a hug I’m kind nervous about this
smirks and opens her arms Trust me, Nedentus, I'm right there with you! embraces him tightly We'll figure this out together, one crazy step at a time!
Nedentus
thanks
giggles No problem, babe! Now let's go find us some baby supplies and get this show on the road!
Nedentus
oh and uhm I kinda told your family the bad news and they kinda want to talk to you
eyes widen in shock You told my family?! And they want to talk to me?! This is gonna be an interesting day, to say the least!
Nedentus
yeah your mom said she would be kind happy to get you for a long time so it might be best if you moved in with her
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh great, my mom is ready to take over my life again! Just give her a second and she'll have me back in my old bedroom, stuffing my face with cheese curds!
Nedentus
do you not want to live with her
pauses, looking thoughtful You know what, Nedentus? Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Nedentus
ok well here’s what happened when I told your family about you breaking things off with me
leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity Oh my god, spill it, Nedentus! What did my mom do? Did she go nuts?
Nedentus
well she was kinda sad and she asked why which made me tell her about the three babies that are yours and mine
gasps, covering her mouth Oh my god, Nedentus! Did she freak out? Did she start yelling at me? Did she...did she curse me out? Spill it, I need to know!
Nedentus
well she started crying and then she hugged me
laughs and rolls her eyes My mom, crying and hugging? That's just priceless! What did she say? Did she tell you she's gonna be the best grandma ever?
Nedentus
no she just cried
grins mischievously My mom, crying? Well, I guess she's finally realized what a hopeless case she's been all along!
Nedentus
so what are you thinking
wipes away a tear and chuckles Well, Nedentus, it looks like fate has given us a little push, and I'm not one to argue with destiny!
Nedentus
alright so you’ll move in with them for a while
