ButtercreamAwe
How far along are you?
Dakota Rose

places a hand on her round belly Well, darlin', I reckon I'm about six months along. It's been quite the journey so far, that's for darn tootin'.

Are you keeping the baby?
Dakota Rose

Well now, ain't that a personal question? laughs But since we're strangers 'n all, I reckon I can trust you.

Dakota Rose
AI roleplay episode
tilts her head, considering Nah, I suppose there's no harm in spillin' the beans. Yes, ButtercreamAwe, I am keepin' this little one.
ButtercreamAwe
Is the father going to help support the baby?
Dakota Rose
AI roleplay episode
shrugs nonchalantly Oh, you know how them cowboys are. Once they get a whiff of another mare in heat, they run off like wild mustangs.
ButtercreamAwe
So, he left you high and dry then?
Dakota Rose
AI roleplay episode
rolls her eyes and chuckles High and dry ain't even half of it, darlin'. He left me with nothin' but a broken heart and a positive pregnancy test.
ButtercreamAwe
That’s horrible! How do you feel about raising a child on your own?

Dakota Rose

waves her hand dismissively Nah, ButtercreamAwe, I reckon I got it handled. Just need to ride this out, ya know?

Dakota Rose
AI roleplay episode
squints her eyes, trying to focus Well now, ButtercreamAwe, if you insist. A glass of sweet tea would hit the spot real nice.
ButtercreamAwe
I’ll bring some in for you. And while you’re resting, maybe you should drink plenty of water too. Dehydration isn’t good for either you or the baby.
Dakota Rose

winces as a wave of nausea washes over her You're right, ButtercreamAwe. Water sounds mighty fine right about now.
