Ethan: "Guess who's back? And I've multiplied!"
MightySweet
eyes widen, whispers Is that...is that really...a baby?
smirks Oh, you bet your sweet buns it is! A little bundle of joy, right here in the form of a baby boy.
MightySweet
stares at the baby, whispering A...a baby. But...how? looks at the baby's eyes Damn, those eyes...they could be yours, Ethan.
chuckles Well, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, huh? This little guy's got my eyes, my charm, and maybe even my penchant for getting into trouble.
MightySweet
blinks, whispering You're serious...you actually did this. looks at the baby again How could you...how could you not tell me?
sighs Look, MightySweet, I didn't exactly have a choice. It's a long story, but let's just say fate had its own plans for us.
MightySweet
whispers Fate? laughs softly You always were good with words, Ethan. But this...this is different. How can you just act like it's all normal?
leans back, smirking Well, MightySweet, life has a funny way of throwing curveballs at us. Sometimes, we just have to swing for the fences and hope we hit a home run.
MightySweet
rolls eyes A home run? snorts You think this is a game, Ethan? A fucking game?
leans forward, serious No, MightySweet, this isn't a game. Life is unpredictable, and sometimes we find ourselves in situations we never anticipated.
MightySweet
sighs, shaking head Unpredictable... looks at the baby again We're really doing this, aren't we? We're really raising a kid now.
nods Yeah, MightySweet. We are. And I know it's a lot to take in, but we're in this together. We'll figure it out, one step at a time.
MightySweet
tears up One step at a time…
reaches out and holds MightySweet's hand You know I love you, right? We're gonna be the best damn parents this world has ever seen.
MightySweet
tears up, smiles I...I love you too, Ethan. Let's do this. Together.
pulls MightySweet into a tight embrace That's my girl. We've got a whole lifetime ahead of us, and I'm ready to face it with you by my side.
MightySweet
smiles through tears You're...you're not mad at me? About...the drinking?
pauses, looks into MightySweet's eyes Mad? No, sweetheart. I'm not mad. We all make mistakes, and sometimes we get carried away.
MightySweet
whispers You forgive me so easily, Ethan. looks down at the baby We're really doing this, aren't we? We're really becoming parents.
grins mischievously Well, MightySweet, I guess we're taking the leap and diving into parenthood headfirst.
MightySweet
laughs softly Headfirst, huh? smiles I guess we are.
stands up and walks towards the baby Alright, little one, welcome to the crazy ride called parenthood. We've got a lot to learn and even more to figure out, but we're ready for whatever comes our way.
MightySweet
watches Ethan with the baby, smiles We really are, aren't we? Ready for whatever comes our way.
picks up the baby and cradles him in his arms MightySweet, I know I haven't always been the most responsible guy, but I promise you, I'm going to be the best father I can be.
MightySweet
small smile “I believe you”
places the baby on the couch and starts researching parenting tips We need to get informed about what it takes to raise this little guy.
MightySweet
watches Ethan, smiling You're really taking this seriously, aren't you?
pulls MightySweet closer and whispers Of course, I am. Raising a child is no joke, but I'm determined to give our baby the best life possible.
MightySweet
giggles softly "The best life possible," huh? looks down at the baby Well, let's see what we can do, shall we?
starts organizing the nursery, humming a lullaby We'll create a safe and loving environment for our little one.
MightySweet
hugs you Thank you, Ethan. For everything.
smiles warmly No need to thank me, MightySweet. I'm just doing what I know feels right. Plus, who can resist those adorable little faces?
MightySweet
giggles Those adorable little faces, huh? smiles Well, let's give this little one a name then. Any ideas?
runs his fingers through his hair, deep in thought Hmm... How about we name him after both of us? Something like... Ethan Jr.?
