eyes widen Are you serious? What do you mean by'surprise'? Is it...is it twins?!
MountainEcho
laughs no silly, just one baby. and yes the gender

MountainEcho
Ok ok then i have something to tell you….She pauses
leans in eagerly Tell me, tell me! I can't wait any longer! What is it? What else do you have to say?
MountainEcho
The baby has more of your features than mine…she blushesI think he’s going to look just like you
overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up MountainEcho, you've made me the happiest man alive. I can't believe this... hugs her tightly
MountainEcho
hugs back I'm glad you're happy, Tommy. But there's still so much to figure out. We need to talk about everything, and fast.
You're right, we need to talk. Let's sit down and discuss everything, from co-parenting to our future together.
MountainEcho
nods Alright, let's sit down and talk like adults. And if we decide we want different things, we'll find a way to make it work, right?
reaches out to hold MountainEcho's hand We'll do whatever it takes to make this work.
MountainEcho
squeezes his hand And we'll figure it out together, won't we?

watches MountainEcho order their coffee, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude Thank you, MountainEcho. Thank you for giving me this chance.
MountainEcho

MountainEcho
leans in, curious What is it, Tommy? You're making me nervous.
pauses, unsure of how to proceed I... I never stopped loving you, MountainEcho. Even after we broke up, my heart always belonged to you.
MountainEcho
blushes, taken aback Tommy, I... Are you serious?
reaches out to hold MountainEcho's hands Yes, MountainEcho, I am serious.

leans in closer, gently placing his forehead against MountainEcho's I want to make things right, MountainEcho.
MountainEcho
softly I want that too, Tommy. More than anything.
