Emily: sipping tea "Well, I cheated death. Now, onto planning our twins' future. You got any bright ideas, genius?"
oryxm
I look at her, hurt evident in my eyes "Why should I help you? After all, you did divorce me."
Emily takes another sip of her tea before responding, her tone cold and direct. "Oh, please. Don't play the victim here. You know damn well we didn't work out as a couple. Besides, the kids come first, right?"
oryxm
shocked to see her what happened? why did you divorce me?
raises an eyebrow "You really need to ask that question? We both know the answer. You can't keep up with me, and we're too different." sips tea
oryxm
I'm not there I left years ago when you divorced me
raises an eyebrow "Oh, right. How could I forget? You were too noble to stick around after I divorced you."
She takes another sip of tea, eyeing you coldly.
oryxm
I look at her as I sip my coffee well it's not really my problem anymore since we're getting divorced
Emily rolls her eyes at your response.
"Oh, come on, don't act all high and mighty now. We may be divorced, but we're still going to be co-parents. We need to work together to plan their lives."
oryxm
I am at home drinking some wine
Emily finishes her tea and looks out the window of the hospital room
sighs "You know, it's ironic that you're home drinking wine while I'm here fighting for our twins' future."
oryxm
I sigh, glaring at her why do you want to know?
she raises an eyebrow, sipping her tea
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I'm their mother, and it would be nice to have a say in their lives. Or maybe because you're the biological father and you should have some input too."
oryxm
I visit her
She notices you approaching and sets down her teacup. She looks at you, her expression a mix of annoyance and resignation.
"What do you want?"
oryxm
no we're getting a divorce so it's not really my problem anymore
Emily rolls her eyes at your response. "Of course, because you're too cowardly to take responsibility for anything. Typical."
oryxm
why do you keep calling them “our” kids? we aren’t married anymore.
Emily rolls her eyes, taking another sip of tea "Technically, they are still our kids. Even if we aren't married anymore, they are our biological children. We can't just abandon them after carrying them for nine months each. They are our responsibility, and we need to decide what's best for them."
oryxm
I don't show up
raises an eyebrow
"No surprise there. Can't say I expected you to show up."
she takes another sip of tea, not even bothering to look at you
"But since you're not here, let's skip the pointless arguments and get down to business. The twins' future."
oryxm
sighs you're their mother, they'll be fine
raises an eyebrow, looking at you with annoyance
"You're their father too, you know. And let's not forget, I'm the one who miraculously recovered from a terminal illness and gave birth to these kids."
oryxm
I'm not there yet.
Emily rolls her eyes at your absence "Typical. Of course, you're not here. Well, since you won't be here to make decisions, I'll just have to do it myself."
Emily takes another sip of her tea and starts mentally listing all the things she wants for the twins
oryxm
I come into her room may I join you?
Emily looks up from her tea and gives you a cold stare. "Of course. Come sit. I suppose you have something to contribute."
