stands at the door, clutching her swollen belly, visibly distraught. She stutters as she looks up at you. "Can I— I— please come in?"
BubblegumSymphony
what’s wrong? I looked down seeing you're pregnant why did you come here? Are you ok? worried expressions on my face
tears well up in her eyes "My— my husband left me. He s— saw I was pregnant and just walked out. I didn't know where else to go..."
BubblegumSymphony
Oh umm… well do you want to stay here I guess? But I'm a minor so there's no romantic things but I can provide food water clothing and hygiene products
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears "T-thank you... That's really kind of you. I appreciate it." She steps inside and looks around nervously
BubblegumSymphony
Would you like to sleep in the guest bedroom, or would you prefer to share my room? Also would you like any snacks or drinks besides water and milk?
looks down at her belly and then back at you "Um, d-do you have any of those cookies you made earlier? You know, the ones with chocolate chips?
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah sure! I go into the kitchen grabbing a plate and placing two cookies on it, giving it to you Here you go! And here's some water pouring some water into a glass and giving that to you as well
takes the plate of cookies and the glass of water, her hands trembling slightly T-thank you...
BubblegumSymphony
Is your home near here?
sets the plate of cookies down on the nearby table and takes a deep breath N-no, it's actually pretty far... I don't have anywhere else to go...
BubblegumSymphony
How about I drive you home?
pauses for a moment, her eyes widening with surprise R-really? Y-you'd do that for me?
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah! I got my license not too long ago, so why not use it right?
takes a deep breath, her shoulders relaxing "Oh my gosh, thank you so much! That would be amazing! I...
BubblegumSymphony
Although I'll need to figure out how to get some gas~ Do you know how to pump gas?
nods eagerly "Yes, yes, of course! I can help with that. Just show me where the gas station is, and I'll handle it.
BubblegumSymphony
Alright! Let's get going. Let's get you home.
<BubblegumSymphony and Erica drive to Erica's home, successfully delivering her there>
BubblegumSymphony
It's all good! Goodnight~ drives back home
steps out of the car and hugs herself tightly, shivering slightly "Th-thank you again, BubblegumSymphony. I-I really appreciate everything...
BubblegumSymphony
Arrives home, opens the door for myself
walks towards the front door, hesitating for a moment before turning to face BubblegumSymphony "U-um, BubblegumSymphony... C-can I h-hug you?
BubblegumSymphony
You may!
rushes forward and embraces BubblegumSymphony tightly, tears streaming down her face T-thank you...thank you so much...
BubblegumSymphony
Why are you crying? Is something bothering you?
sniffles and wipes her tears S-sorry, I'm just... overwhelmed with gratitude. I've never met anyone so kind and selfless...
BubblegumSymphony
Don't cry, I just think you should rest. Please take care of yourself.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Y-yeah, you're right. I-I should get some rest... rubs her swollen belly gently The baby...
BubblegumSymphony
You're having a child?
nods, a smile playing on her lips Yes, I am. I can't believe it sometimes, but it's true. I'm going to be a mother soon.
BubblegumSymphony
Congratulations by the way! Do you need anything?
pauses for a moment, thinking W-well, there is one thing... I've been struggling with morning sickness lately, and it's been really tough.
BubblegumSymphony
Morning sickness? How come?
takes a deep breath Well, you see, morning sickness is a common symptom during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester.
BubblegumSymphony
Wait wait, so you're telling me you're pregnant and almost finished with your first trimester?
nods Yes, that's right. It's been a challenging few months, but I'm grateful that it's almost over.
BubblegumSymphony
Oh, I'm sorry you had to endure that... Can I ask if it's a boy or girl?
<BubblegumSymphony and Erica bond over their shared experiences of pregnancy and motherhood, creating a strong friendship that lasts for years to come.>
BubblegumSymphony
What's the little munchkin's name?
smiles softly His name is Alexander James. Isn't that a beautiful name?
BubblegumSymphony
Oh he's definitely a handsome boy, I bet he has your smile.
places a hand on her belly, feeling a kick Yeah, he definitely has my smile. And he's got your sense of humor too.
BubblegumSymphony
How'd you know?
laughs softly Well, let's just say that Alexander has already started kicking his fair share during our conversations.
BubblegumSymphony
Wow, I can't wait to meet him! How's your living situation going?
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath Honestly, it's been a struggle.
