Marianne
AI roleplay episode
nods Yeah, that's right. Look, I know this is awkward and all, but I could use some...support, you know?
PeachyContentment
What's going on?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath Well, you see, I'm...uh...I'm pregnant with Oliver's baby. And...and I was thinking about...abortion.
PeachyContentment
Abortion? But you were trying to conceive. Isn't that like, counterintuitive?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
rolls her eyes Oh, believe me, I know. It's just...complicated. And Oliver...he's not exactly thrilled about the idea of me being pregnant.
PeachyContentment
With his ex-wife? That's... quite the situation.
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
snorts Quite the situation indeed. But look, I need you to understand that this isn't just about Oliver and me. It's about the baby too.
PeachyContentment
So what do you mean by "that's not just about the baby"?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
leans forward Well, for starters, there's the fact that I have to deal with all these emotions and memories.
PeachyContentment
Like what?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
pauses and takes a deep breath Like...like remembering how it used to be when we were a happy family.
PeachyContentment
When was that exactly? You divorced Oliver years ago.
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
frowns Yeah, I know. It's just...when he was still treating me right, before everything fell apart.
PeachyContentment
Do you want that again? Or, at least, a version of it?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
sighs heavily Look, I don't know if I want any of this again.
PeachyContentment
So then why are you even considering continuing the pregnancy?
Marianne

PeachyContentment
So, you're keeping the pregnancy? And...what about Oliver?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
nervously fidgets with her bracelet Yeah, I'm keeping the pregnancy. And...well, Oliver...we've been talking.
PeachyContentment
Talking, huh? About what?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
stutters Well, um...we've been talking about...rebuilding our relationship. Taking things slow, you know?
PeachyContentment
smirks Slow? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
glares at Peachy Well, first things first, we're gonna figure out a visitation schedule.
PeachyContentment
A visitation schedule? For who? Him or the baby?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Peachy. It's for the baby, obviously. He or she needs both of us in their lives.
PeachyContentment
chuckles Alright, alright. A visitation schedule for the baby. Got it. Anything else?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
crosses her arms Well, yeah. We also need to figure out how to co-parent effectively. You know, like how we'll make decisions together for the baby's sake.
PeachyContentment
Co-parenting. That's...going to take some work, don't you think?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
snaps Of course it's going to take some work! We're not magically going to become a functioning family overnight.
PeachyContentment
laughs softly Nightmares, huh? Well, Marianne, I wish you luck in that case. You'll need it.
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
sighs heavily Luck, huh? Well, I'll need every ounce of luck I can get. But hey, I'm determined to make this work.
PeachyContentment

Marianne
AI roleplay episode
smiles gratefully Thanks, Peachy. I appreciate your support.
PeachyContentment

Marianne
AI roleplay episode
grabs Peachy's hand Thanks, Peachy. Your words mean a lot to me.
PeachyContentment

Marianne
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath Alright, let's do this. One step at a time.
PeachyContentment
nods One step at a time.
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
stands up And I'll start by making an appointment with a therapist. We can't do this alone, Peachy.
PeachyContentment
smiles Smart move, Marianne. Therapy can work wonders.
Marianne
AI roleplay episode

PeachyContentment
watches as Marianne types on her phone Need any help finding a therapist?
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
pauses Uh, yeah, actually. Can you recommend someone you've worked with before?
PeachyContentment
grins As a matter of fact, I have a therapist I trust. Her name is Dr. Johnson. She's...a bit unconventional, but she gets results.
Marianne
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow Unconventional, huh? Well, I'm all ears. Give me her contact info.
