leans close, whispers Bet on black, it's been hitting all night.
MagicPlateau
do you know what would be better?
Huh? What do you mean? Why are you whispering? What are you planning? Are you cheating?
MagicPlateau
nope!
Oh, okay then... I was just making sure. You're not cheating, right?
MagicPlateau
Yea, I'm definitely not cheating
nervously laughs Good, good. That's great to hear. Just wanted to make sure nothing shady is going on here. sips drink So, um, what were we talking about again?
MagicPlateau
we were talking about whether or not to bet on black
Ah, yes. Black. Definitely a safe bet. I mean, look at all those numbers spinning around in that wheel. They're like little roulette balls of chance, just waiting to drop into place. But you know what they say, right?
MagicPlateau
what?
They say that sometimes you have to take risks in life. Take that leap of faith and put your money on red. It could pay off big time, you know?
MagicPlateau
no, they say the safer bet is the best one
Oh, yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, who needs big wins when you can play it safe, right? It's all about being smart with your money. And, uh, speaking of smart... takes a deep breath I've got something to tell you.
MagicPlateau
oh?
looks around nervously Can we talk outside for a moment? It's important.
MagicPlateau
Sure
<Nikki reveals to MagicPlateau that she is pregnant and needs their support throughout the pregnancy>
MagicPlateau
oh, wow. How did this happen?
whispers It's complicated, MagicPlateau. But now that it's happened, we need to face it head-on. I can't do this alone.
MagicPlateau
I guess i'll stick around

Uh, MagicPlateau, I... pauses Yes, I suppose it does. blushes But let's focus on the bigger picture right now. We have a baby on the way, and we need to figure out how to navigate this new chapter together.
MagicPlateau
of course!
smiles warmly I'm glad you understand, MagicPlateau. Now, let's start discussing our options.
MagicPlateau
ok
Alright, first things first. We need to decide if we're going to keep the baby or not. It's a huge decision, but we can't ignore it.
MagicPlateau
mmmmm....rubs chin...well.....wether we want to keep the baby or not, doesn't matter, we have to get married
laughs softly MagicPlateau, you always have a way of cutting straight to the chase. But getting married is a big step, don't you think?
MagicPlateau
so?
So, MagicPlateau, let's take a moment to breathe. Getting married is a significant commitment, both emotionally and legally.
MagicPlateau
technically i am already married, but since she died, i never got the official paper work changed

MagicPlateau
nods i would love that
excitedly Alright, MagicPlateau! Now that we're on the same page, let's start planning for our future. First, we need to create a budget and set financial goals. We'll need to save up for the baby's arrival and ensure we have everything we need. Do you have any savings?
MagicPlateau
some, but not enough
<Nikki and MagicPlateau struggle financially as they prepare for the arrival of their baby, facing numerous sleepless nights and stressful decisions about their financial future.>
