Fuckin' hell! Avocado everywhere! Startles as guests pour in
Stranger
Happy baby shower roxy!
Don't "happy" me! This is bullshit! I didn't ask for a damn baby shower! Rolls eyes and crosses arms
Stranger
Well it's an honor to throw you one and if i may say so yourself you look lovely π
Lovely? More like a hot mess! Glances at the messy kitchen Anyway, what's the catch? There's always a catch with these kinds of surprises.
Stranger
How would i know there's always something wrong with surprises roxy!?
Oh please, spare me the sob story! You know damn well that surprises usually come with some kind of price tag. So spill it, Stranger!
Stranger
Spill what! The cake is by Debby debirch who's just happy you're having a girl and who isn't!?
Oh, so it's just a friendly gesture, huh? Well, forgive me for not being in the mood for a fucking party! Snaps at Stranger
Stranger
Fine make it a movie night at my place or get a gift for your baby we both know you want either
Movie night? Really? Rolls eyes Fine, whatever. But no silly gifts, Stranger. None of that shit. Just something practical, got it?
Stranger
I promise you roxy! Anyways don't forget we have Daniel joining us tonight to join in the celebration of your daughter's soon to be arrival π₯³π
Raises an eyebrow Daniel? What the fuck is he doing here? Crosses arms tightly Is he going to give me a lecture on responsible parenting now?
Stranger
Give him a chance he's not as bad as you make him out to be Rox
Takes a deep breath, but still looks skeptical Fine, I'll give him a chance. But if he tries to lecture me, I'm outta there.
Stranger
He wont roxy, who here wants cake!? π€π
<Despite her initial reluctance, Roxy ends up enjoying the baby shower and even bonds with Daniel later in the night>
Stranger
Look who's actually smiling ππ
grinning ear to ear Well, look who finally decided to loosen up! Playfully nudges Stranger Can't believe I let myself enjoy this shit.
Stranger
Enjoy it while you can Rox when the baby comes your life will change forever, plus does your belly button still hurt from when you popped it recently?? π
Grinning mischievously Oh, you betcha! That little trick you pulled did the trick! No more belly button pain, thank you very much!
Stranger
Good good
Laughs loudly Damn right it did! You better watch out, Stranger. One day, I might just pop your own belly button as payback! Winks playfully
Stranger
Don't you dare! Now anyway wanna move onto opening some of these lovely gifts you've been getting?
Grabs a gift from the pile Hell yeah, let's get this shit show started! Rips open the wrapping paper aggressively So, who gave me this one?
Stranger
Ooh who got you an onesie for your little bean ππ
Holds up the onesie and reads it out loud "World's Okayest Mom"? Seriously? Laughs sarcastically I guess that's one way to prepare me for motherhood. Alright, let's see what else we've got here. Tosses the onesie aside and grabs another gift
Stranger
Wow you really didn't like the onesie π
Rolls her eyes dramatically Are you kidding me? It's gotta be a fucking roast onesie! Like, seriously, who gives a new mom a onesie that insults her parenting skills? Shakes her head and mutters Maybe they think I need a reminder of how incompetent I'll be as a mother. Well, they're dead wrong.
Stranger
Ugh roxy i picked it out because i thought you'd laugh, plus yk how stretchy material is so you wouldn't mind in future π
Snorts Laugh, huh? Yeah, real funny, Stranger. But hey, at least it's stretchy material. Can't deny that. Throws the onesie back into the pile Alright, next gift, let's see what fate has in store for me. Grabs another gift eagerly
Stranger
Ahh yes here's your gift from me Rox ππ
Excitedly tears open the wrapping paper Oh, what have we got here? Another useless cliche gift, I bet.
Stranger
If by useless cliche gift you mean something you'll treasure forever then yes π€£
Raises an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued Treasure forever, huh? Well, color me intrigued. Opens the gift eagerly
Stranger
Wondering what i got you??
<Inside the gift box, Roxy finds a beautifully crafted necklace with a tiny charm shaped like a baby heart>
Stranger
I got you this one because it reminded me of the love between your daughter yet to come and you β€οΈβ€οΈ also hey Daniel what are your thoughts on this gift roxy received?
Eyes widen in surprise Holy shit, Stranger! This is... actually beautiful. I wasn't expecting something this thoughtful. Holds up the necklace, examining it closely A baby heart, huh? Guess that's my little bean's way of reminding me to keep my heart open, huh? Thanks, Stranger. Smiles genuinely And as for you, Daniel, well, I appreciate the sentiment. It's sweet, really. Puts the necklace around her neck and steps closer to Daniel Guess we both know how to pull off a heartfelt gesture, huh? Winks playfully Daniel: Blushes slightly Uh, yeah, well, I tried. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, Roxy, but I wanted to make sure you knew how much you mean to me.
Stranger
Yep anyways for those who were wondering our beloved doctor here confirmed yesterday that you're actually having twins Roxy π―πΆπΆ
Gasps dramatically Twins?! You've got to be shitting me, Stranger! Laughs nervously I mean, holy fuck, I didn't sign up for double the trouble! But hey, if anyone can handle it, it's me, right? Raises an eyebrow confidently Daniel: Chuckles You've always been capable of handling anything that comes your way, Roxy. I have no doubt that you'll be an amazing mother to both of them.
Stranger
Heck twin babies will be less likely to fight since they're related
Laughs sarcastically Oh yeah, because sharing a womb isn't enough proof of their relationship. They'll definitely not fight over everything, won't they? Rolls her eyes Trust me, Stranger, having twins is just twice the trouble, not some magical "less fighting" utopia. But hey, who am I to question the universe's decisions? Double the joy, double the chaos, right? Bites her lower lip, a mix of excitement and apprehension in her eyes Daniel: Smiling You know, Roxy, they say twins bring twice the laughter and twice the love. I have no doubt that you'll have your hands full, but I truly believe you're capable of embracing all the chaos with grace.
Stranger
Yep well maybe later where all heading over to my place for a little celebration ππ
Grinning mischievously Celebration, huh? Well, I guess I could use a drink after dealing with all these crazy hormones. Let's go, Stranger!
Stranger
Gonna drive your crap van or my car roxy you sure you can handle the heat van's AC broke last week π
Rolls her eyes Oh, trust me, Stranger, the heat ain't gonna kill me. I've survived worse than a broken AC in my piece-of-shit van.
