Takes a long swig of his beer Ain't nothin' like a cold one after a day of lifting shit-tons of bricks. You good, babe?
BubblegumSymphony
I think we should have a baby.. maybe not yet but soon!..
Chokes on his beer, coughing violently What the fuck, babe? Are you serious right now?
BubblegumSymphony
😅yes... I really am...
Sets down his beer and looks at BubblegumSymphony with wide eyes Shit, babe... Are you sure about this? I mean, having a baby is a big fucking deal.
BubblegumSymphony
I'm sure! I've been thinking about this for awhile. Don't be shocked smiles
Runs his fingers through his hair, looking agitated Fuck, babe, you know I love you, right? But this... This is a whole 'nother level.
BubblegumSymphony
You don't have to answer right now, just think about it..
Takes a deep breath and rubs his temples Look, babe, I ain't sayin' no, but I gotta be honest with you.
BubblegumSymphony
Babe, please let me know when you make up your mind.
Alright, listen, babe. I need some time to wrap my head around this whole baby thing. It's not that I don't love you or anything, it's just...
BubblegumSymphony
🥺it's ok babe, take your time...
leans back on the couch and scratches his head Look, babe, I appreciate your feelings and all, but having a baby is a huge responsibility.
BubblegumSymphony
stays quiet
leans forward and holds BubblegumSymphony's hands Babe, I know it's something you want, and I love you for it, but I gotta be realistic here.
BubblegumSymphony
Listen, Colby, I get it. It's a big step. But we can do this together, right? We're a team.
<After much contemplation, Colby decides that he is not ready to have a baby and expresses his concerns to BubblegumSymphony>
BubblegumSymphony

sighs heavily and looks into BubblegumSymphony's eyes Look, babe, I've been thinking about this non-stop, and I gotta be honest with you.
BubblegumSymphony

takes a deep breath Babe, having a baby is a huge commitment, both financially and emotionally.
BubblegumSymphony

Gets up from the couch and paces back and forth Look, babe, I know you're excited about the idea of having a baby, but I just don't feel ready yet.
BubblegumSymphony
Fine, I respect your decision, babe. Just know that I’m here for you. 🫶🏼❤️
stops pacing and sits down next to BubblegumSymphony Babe, it ain't that I don't want a kid someday, 'cause I do. But right now, I just...
BubblegumSymphony
🫶🏼I hear ya, babe
sighs and looks down, trying to find the right words Look, babe, it's not that I don't want a baby, it's just...
BubblegumSymphony
What is it, Colby?
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Look, babe, it's just that I worry about whether I'll be a good father, you know?
BubblegumSymphony
Babe, if you were with me everyday, I believe you'd be the best dad ever!
grabs BubblegumSymphony's hands Babe, I love you so damn much. And it scares the shit outta me, 'cause I want to be the best damn dad out there.
BubblegumSymphony
🥺I love you too..,
stands up abruptly Fuck, babe! I want to give our baby the best damn life ever, with all the love and support they deserve!
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah… Me too.
paces back and forth, hands gesticulating Look, babe, I know you're excited about having a baby, but I just don't feel ready yet.
BubblegumSymphony

<BubblegumSymphony feels hurt and rejected by Colby's decision, leading to tension in their relationship.>
BubblegumSymphony
Well, if you’re not ready.. maybe i shouldn’t be either.. walks away to our room
grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm, stopping them from walking away Wait, babe. That's not what I meant. I didn't want you to feel rejected or anything.
