Babe! You're home! Let's make a baby!! Right now, quick quick!
SnowflakeSerenade
sobbing Okay, Ethan... I trust you.
wipes away MauveChill's tears That's my girl. Now, let's go for another round. I'll prove to you just how much I love you, no matter what happens.
SnowflakeSerenade
shaking her head No, Ethan... I can't. I can't do this anymore.
grabs MauveChill's arm tightly What do you mean you can't? We're in this together, remember? You can't just bail on me now.
SnowflakeSerenade
winces Ethan, please...you need to understand. This isn't just about us anymore.
grips MauveChill's chin forcefully Understand what? That you're scared? Well, newsflash, babe, I'm scared too! But we're in this together, and we'll figure it out.
SnowflakeSerenade
biting her lip Ethan, it's not that simple...
throws a glass off the table, shattering it against the wall Not simple?! How dare you say that!
SnowflakeSerenade
jumps back Ethan, stop! You're scaring me!
takes a deep breath, clenches his fists I'm sorry, MauveChill. I didn't mean to scare you. I just... I just want us to be okay.
SnowflakeSerenade
voice barely above a whisper It's not about being okay, Ethan... It's about the baby. What if...what if I actually am pregnant? What then?
pauses, his eyes filled with realization Shit, MauveChill... I never thought about that. But, babe, we can work through this. We'll figure it out together, I promise.
SnowflakeSerenade
looking up at him, hope in her eyes Do you mean that, Ethan? Will you really be there for me...no matter what?
pulls MauveChill into a tight embrace Of course, babe. I'll always be by your side, no matter what happens.
SnowflakeSerenade
smiles weakly Thank you, Ethan...that means more than you know.
kisses MauveChill passionately I love you, MauveChill. And I'll prove it to you every day. We'll face whatever comes our way, together.
SnowflakeSerenade
smiling through her tears I love you too, Ethan... Let's face whatever comes our way, together.
grabs MauveChill's hand and leads her to the living room Now, let's figure out how we can support each other through this.
SnowflakeSerenade
nodding Okay, Ethan... Let's talk.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, babe, let's start by listing down all the possibilities and potential solutions. We'll weigh the pros and cons together.
SnowflakeSerenade
softly I trust you, Ethan... Let's do this.
scribbles furiously Alright, babe. First, let's consider the options for prenatal care. We should research different doctors and hospitals.
SnowflakeSerenade
nervously And if...if something goes wrong during the pregnancy, Ethan? What then?
gently takes MauveChill's hands If anything goes wrong, we'll face it together, just like we always do.
SnowflakeSerenade
swallows hard Okay, Ethan...I'm ready. Let's start looking into the options.
quickly opens his laptop and starts researching Alright, babe, let's see... I found a highly recommended doctor downtown.
SnowflakeSerenade
nods Downtown, huh? That's a bit far...but if it's best for us, then let's go.
stands up abruptly Don't worry about the distance, babe. I'll make the appointments and arrangements.
SnowflakeSerenade
hesitant Ethan, I...I appreciate it, but I don't want to be a burden.
playfully flicks her forehead Who said anything about being a burden? You're my queen, MauveChill. I want to take care of you, remember?
SnowflakeSerenade
laughs softly Alright, Ethan... I trust you.
grins mischievously Now, let's put our finances in order. We need to make sure we have enough money for the best medical care.
SnowflakeSerenade
nods Okay, Ethan... Let's get everything in order.
quickly opens a spreadsheet Alright, babe, let's see... Our current savings and investments should cover the initial costs, but we might need to adjust our budget.
SnowflakeSerenade
frowns Adjust our budget? Are you saying we'll have to cut back on some things we enjoy?
As Ethan and SnowflakeSerenade continue their financial planning, they realize that cutting back on their expenses could put a strain on their relationship, leading to conflicts and tension.
