pregnant soft angst. with miss lucy chen. sign me up.
also, i’m going to make this so they are married! hope that’s okay 🫶🏼
six months pregnant
“Mm,” You groan softly by Lucy’s desk, and her eyes are immediately shot up to yours.
“Are you okay?” Lucy’s eyes are filled with worry and confusion. “Here, sit.”
She stands up from her seat at her desk, and is ushering you into the seat. The relief to be off your feet is amazing and you sigh in comfort.
Lucy pulls a small plastic chair over so she is in front of you. She pulls your feet onto her thighs, pulling your shoes off before she does so. She works at your feet, one at a time, and you moan softly. Most of your muscles relaxing.
“Luce, I’m not sure anyone wants to see this,” You say, leaned back in the swivel chair.
“I don’t really care,” Lucy says, and you believe her. All her expression holds is carelessness for the faces the officers around you were making. “I care about you being in pain.”
“I can’t imagine how any of this will get worse,” You place a hand on your stomach. “I’m already ready to get this baby out.”
“I know,” A small frown tugs at her lips, a look of sympathy in her eyes. “But just think. Next time it will be my turn, and you’ll get to take care of me. And we’ll have a beautiful baby boy or girl in the end.”
“Yeah,” You pull your feet off her legs, shoving your swollen feet back into the uncomfortable shoes.
You groan in pain, placing your other hand on your stomach.
“What is it?” The look of worry comes back onto Lucy’s face.
“Our baby’s a kicker,” You comment, still groaning. You reach for Lucy’s hand, placing it where your hand was a second ago. “Feel that?”
“Oh my god,” Lucy smiles up at you in amazement.
This was the first time the baby has kicked like this, meaning this was the first time Lucy has actually been able to feel. It felt like everyone has felt except Lucy.
You were about six months along, and you were starting to hate your job at this point. It took a lot out of you, so you made sure you were always paired with someone who could run, but also save you if you were injured or in a run-in (meaning Smitty was out of the equation). So you were often paired with Aaron or Tim.
Aaron was one of your best friends at the station, and he was the first one to feel the baby kicking. He was also going to be your baby’s godfather.
“Oh,” Lucy has tears forming in her eyes at the moment she’s sharing. “Hi. I’m your mommy. Do you recognize my voice?”
The baby kicks again, softer this time.
“Y/n,” Lucy is gripping your arm with her other hand. “That’s our baby..”
You intertwine your hand in hers, running your thumb over her knuckles, completely forgetting about the pain you were in moments ago.
“I’m sorry to break this up, but we have calls to get to, Y/n,” Aaron comes behind the chair, friendly placing his hands up your shoulders.
“Duty calls,” You lean your head back sadly.
“We’ll take it easy today,” Aaron assures Lucy. “I can tell she needs it if she’s already gotten her feet rubbed this morning.”
“Thank you,” Lucy’s eye brows draw together in a soft look, wiping her eyes of the tears.
“I’ll be good,” You tell Lucy.
“Remember, if she gets hurt,” Lucy points her finger at the man.
“I’m in big trouble, I know,” He nods, hands resting on his belt just like Tim would. “Which is why we’re taking it easy.”
“I don’t want to get up,” You complain.
“Come on,” Aaron steps around the chair, holding his hand out for you to take.
You reach to grab his hand, him helping stand you back up on your feet.
“The shops all ready, so I’ll go wait for you,” He nods, already knowing the drill between you and Lucy.
You pucker your lips and give Lucy a kiss on the lips before attempting to waddle away.
She ends up helping you to the shop, just like she always does.
“I’m hungry,” You whine for the tenth time in the last five minutes.
“I heard you,” Aaron rolls his eyes. “I’m working on getting you to the sandwich shop, okay? But you need to let me drive - safely - or Lucy will kill us both.”
“I want two sandwiches,” You hold up two fingers in his face.
“Okay?” Aaron makes a face at you. “Why are you assuming I’m paying?”
You have to stop yourself from rolling your own eyes, “Because we go through this everytime. I order, try to pay, and then you go, ‘I got it, don’t worry Y/n. You shouldn’t have to pay. You’re already going through enough’,”
Aaron laughs at your impression of him, “I don’t sound like that.”
“Yes you do,” You cross your arms.
“You’re a child,” Aaron shakes his head as he pulls the car into the parking lot. “Do you need help getting out?”
You send him a death glare, standing up out of your seat.
“Okay..”
Aaron holds the door open for you, and you thank him, immediately sitting down where you always do. He follows, sitting for a second before he goes to order.
“I don’t know how you’re going to work the rest of your pregnancy,” He says in a serious tone, worry seeping into it. “I mean, you’re what? Over half way? It’ll only get worse.”
“Tell me about it,” You lay your hand on your arms on top of the table.
“If you ever need a break we can go back to the station. Do paperwork,” Aaron offers.
“Tomorrow?” You look up hopeful.
“Sounds good,” He taps his hand on the table, standing. “I’m gonna go order for us. You want what you always get? But two?”
You nod, your head falling back into your arms.
After a few minutes you suddenly get the overwhelming urge to go to the bathroom.
“Ugh. Why must you always sit on my bladder?” You cry to yourself.
Aaron approaches the table with the tray of sandwiches, and grabs your arm to help you up.
“Where are you going?” He lifts his brows.
“The baby is sitting on my bladder,” You scrunch up your face uncomfortably. “So if you don’t want to clean my urine up off the floor, I suggest you let me go to the bathroom.”
“Nope. No, uh, I do not want to do that,” Aaron removes his hands from you, putting them up in surrender. “But if you aren’t out in ten minutes, I’m coming in.”
“I’ll be fine,” You huff.
You use the bathroom, slowly but surely, and make your way out to wash your hands. The sound of another toilet flushing makes its way to your ears, notifying you there’s another person in the bathroom.
You’re wiping your hands with paper towels when the woman says, “How far along are you?”
“Almost seven months,” You smile. “I feel like I’ve been pregnant for twenty years.”
“I know the feeling,” She comments, looking down at your stomach. “Your shirt is untucked.”
You throw the damp towels in the trash can which is under the sink, and look down at your stomach.
“Oh, thank you,” You begin to tuck the shirt into your pants, staring down at the bump.
The woman’s fist comes up to your nose, sending your head flying up. She slaps you across the face, sending you towards the door.
Even pregnant, you put up a good fight. Once your senses are back, you punch her on the cheek, your fist leaving a mark on her face. You try to knee her, but it doesn’t work as well as it used to.
She gets a few more hits in on you, a few on your stomach, which has you furious. So much so that when you punch her across the face the last time, it knocks her out.
Lying on the bathroom floor, you realize you recognize who she is. Monica - Elijah’s new lawyer.
You clench your jaw with worry, placing both hands on your stomach. Your heart dropping when you don’t feel the constant kicking of the baby.
“Y/n?” Aaron comes in and is thrown into protective mode. “What happened?”
“Monica,” You groan in pain. “It doesn’t matter. I need to go to the hospital. Right now, Aaron. The baby— it isn’t kicking anymore.”
Pain flashes in Aaron’s eyes, and he lifts you up, helps you back into the shop, and is rushing you to the nearest hospital - totally forgetting about the sandwiches the two of you left sit.
“You need to call Lucy,” Aaron says as he rushes you to the labor and delivery wing. “She needs to be here.”
“Even if she kills you?” You try to joke, but really, you’re scared as hell.
“Yes,” He nods.
“Call her. Please,” You beg him as you are rolled away in a wheelchair.
“Do you know where my wife is?” You hear Lucy’s voice from your room, which is the whole way on the end of the hall, so the fact that you can hear her voice is scary.
Aaron stands nervously as she is appointed in the direction of your room.
“Babe?” Lucy comes to your side immediately, not looking at Aaron at all, which makes him much more nervous. “What happened?!”
“Aaron and I were getting lunch,” You shake your head. “It all happened so fast. I was talking with Monica in the bathroom - I didn’t know it was her at first - and then all of the sudden she started hitting me in the face.. and then in the stomach.”
Lucy’s eyes flutter. Both angrily and sadly.
“What did the doctor say?” She pulls the blanket down and pulls your shirt up. She flinches at the bruises that have formed on your stomach. She gives a look to Aaron, and she doesn’t look angry at him.
“Our baby is fine,” You say. “I’m just in pain. I was really scared. He wasn’t kicking..”
“He?” Lucy asks, tears starting to form. “You found out the gender?”
“Crap,” You hit your hand on the bed. “I didn’t even mean to see, but the doctor showed me he was fine and then I saw the gender. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Lucy promises. “It was killing me not knowing either.”
“Good, because next time we’re doing a gender reveal.”
“Deal.”
Lucy leans down and kisses you on the forehead, looking at Aaron, “We’ll deal with you later.”
“It wasn’t his fault, Luce. He would’ve followed me into the bathroom if I had let him.”
She shrugs slightly, “I’m still mad that it happened, but I suppose we won’t revoke your godfather status.”
“Thank you, Lucy,” Aaron holds his hands in front of him.
“I’m just glad you saved my girl.”
“Anytime, ma’am,” He nods.
“Stop calling me ma’am, Aaron. You stood by her side in the wedding, you’re much more than a colleague now. To both of us.”
Aaron smiles.
“He’s kicking,” You smile happily. “Come feel. Both of you.”
They place their hands on your stomach, feeling the baby kicking.
“Aaron is a great name,” Aaron says jokingly.
“Shut up,” Lucy laughs.

hi if you're still taking requests, I can't get the idea of arthur somehow being in the epilogue, alive and thriving, working on the ranch with john and his family and just being happy
IM IN LOVE WITH YOU!! omg thanks for the req <3 i hope u enjoy it cutiepie, sorry it took me a lil bit
ending cowrote by @megbimbo loml
tags: yall are in the epilogue, making this an xreader since im basically useless if i dont but its light so dw, canon deviation obviously, high honor arthur. very angsty because my little gremlin brain could not just make him healthy but HE IS HAPPY!! MY BOY IS A HAPPY CAMPER!!; i usually write 1st person but i got possessed so heres a 2nd person fic (never doing this again, sorry if its shit), genderneutral but implied fem reader. milking the cows was the most pleasurable part of the epilogue after the absolute shitshow i had to endure that was chapter 6. arthur milks the cows for that exact reason. some medical terms i know that probably werent viable to use back in the day but idc. some cowboy stuff i learnt as a wee lass when i had a horsey. so many tags ill shut up now.
(i got sad at the end of the fic because i realised you cant kiss him. that made me sad.)
also water pump distance ref because its.. not as close as i thought it was.
♡
You and Abigail tended the house while Arthur and John were outside, doing god knows what, their manly chores. Jack and Uncle had a day trip to Blackwater, running errands and such, getting groceries, the works. Jack needed to get out of the house and Uncle needed to get out of doing work.
“I’ve got this.” Abigail spoke, taking the plate from your hands. A brisk nod and you wandered off outside to check on the boys, mostly worried for Arthurs wellbeing, as you tended to be. As the years dragged on, the remaining gang had been accustomed to not treat Arthur like he was fragile, which often than not, resulted in him being injured or overworked in some capacity or another.
You knew well enough that John would take care of Arthur and not work him to exhaustion, especially in this blazing heat, but nursing him back to health after things went south all that time ago wasn’t an easy job, and when they were building the house, he had a pretty bad flare up.
There was a slight sound of wheezing coming from the distance, your ears perked slightly, rushing down the main steps and looking around. You could vaguely see them over by the water pump in the distance.
Arthur was sitting on the ground, John hovering over him, rubbing his back slowly as Arthur coughed and spluttered. You rushed over to them, evidently worried.
“What happened?”
John looked over to you, softly speaking. “He pushed himself too hard.”
“Yeah.” He spluttered. “I’ll be fine.”
You kneeled beside Arthur, rubbing his back as John pulled away to fill the bucket with water to continue their water run, also so Arthur could take a handful and drink some, hopefully hydrating his throat enough to stop him from tearing his oesophagus.
Water Runs; They were dreaded, the water buckets would get heavy, and in heat like this, you’d need to do the runs multiple times a day to keep the animals hydrated. It got worse if the water troughs were under direct sunlight, the amount depended on the day, the weather and the animals, but the horses needed the extra water this summer, as did the sheep and the cows. All around, it was an awful chore.
Arthur, being the horse lover he is, would be quite adamant in keeping the horses up during the heat, making sure they’re okay. Though, because of the humid air, it was causing his illness to worsen. He slurped up a handful of water, and his coughing let up slightly.
“You need to rest.” You spoke firmly, as John picked up the bucket and walked it over to the remaining troughs, walking over into the sheep pen so he could keep a keen eye on Arthur momentarily.
“I know, I know.” He groaned. “John and I have a lot of things to do.”
“This is John’s ranch, not yours. Sit down for a bit.”
“But the horses—”
“But nothing. You can care for them later this evening.”
Your voice hung in the air sternly and he pouted like a child, he needed to sit down and rest, to be removed from the hot and muggy air. Once the blazing sun begins to set and the air begins to cool, he would be allowed to go back to his duties.
John waddled back over with the bucket, filling it up but lingering before he delivered it to the other animals. “Don’t worry, Arthur. I can do this on my own.”
“I want to help.” He spoke sternly, trying to stand up but weakly clutching his chest as he required the aid of you and John to get to his feet.
“How many other chores have you got today?”
John took the conversation away from Arthur, now more than just on board with the concept of letting him sit down and rest for a while. “Just the water, feeding, and milking the cows.”
“I can milk the cows.” Arthur objected.
You sighed, looking over at him, knowing he would rather keel over than be useless. He was a helper; for as long as he’s been known by any of the people on this ranch, he’s always been willing to help people. His need to work died down drastically since he’d been adopted to live on the ranch, but that didn’t mean the lack of drive didn’t eat away at him.
John raised his hands in a defeated shrug. “Let him milk the cows.”
“Fine, but I’m keeping a close eye on him.”
“That’s probably for the best.” John shrugged, with his shoulders this time, grunting as he picked up the bucket, continuing the water run.
Arthur had a horrendous side eye on him, though he restrained the urge to say something snarky, “I can do this on my own.” He spoke instead, as he began to stride his way to the barn.
“I know.” You responded, following behind him.
He seemed upset at the sudden switch of attitude, even after all this time, he wasn’t used to people treating him like he was sick. For the most part, people didn’t, but, for equal parts, he didn’t often tell people that he was sick, instead playing to be super cautious whenever around anyone new.
He took a seat on the stool beside the cow and you stood behind him, leaning against the pillar.
“I’m fine.” He reassured as he slowly milked the cow, the metal panging sound of the bucket being hit with liquid filled the barns silence.
“I know.” You repeated quietly, not really paying attention to the words leaving your mouth. “Jus’ making sure you’re okay, we’re bein’ careful, ‘s all.”
“I don’t need it.”
“I know you want to act like you’re okay, but you’re not. You’ve had a few close calls. We’re just trying to keep you...” You trailed off, not wanting to say the blunt words that weighed heavy. We’re trying to keep you alive.
He stayed silent as John slowly opened the barn doors, entering almost silently and taking the milk pail as it filled to the top.
“I’ll deal with this.” He said briefly, leaving us quietly to continue our discussion.
Arthur stayed painfully silent as your words lingered heavily in the air, John was quick to disappear into his jobs, and Arthur stayed on the stool, petting the cow softly.
“I get it.” He spoke after a long pause of silence. “I’m sorry, I just...” He rotated his hands in a motion to gesture the continuation of his sentence, not really wanting to finish it himself.
“Just come inside for a bit.”
He sighed in defeat, standing up from the cow and patting her softly as he removed himself from her side. He really suited this life, and it’s a darn shame that he can’t do too much with it.
He walked inside slowly, dragging his feet.
“Don’t get sulky.”
Uncle and Jack returned from Blackwater, pulling up in the wagon. Abigail had left the house to greet them and assist them while John did god-knows-what, something or other to do with the milk.
Jack and Uncle were having a conversation, or maybe an argument, about something in Blackwater, and they were asking Abigail her opinion as they unpacked the back of the wagon.
Arthur didn’t necessarily expect anyone to understand the struggles he had to deal with, he was dealt a poor hand, and partially, it was his fault. His days were numbered, and despite the unconditional love and support that everyone offered him, it only did so much into elongating that timer. It was a silent rule that we all knew it’d happen, and once it did, we’d most likely all point fingers on who’s to blame.
“Arthur.” Jack called out, grabbing his attention from his dreary thoughts and tossing him a fresh notebook. It lifted his spirits almost immediately. “I noticed your old one was getting full.” He responded plainly.
“Thanks, kid.” He smiled, still very clearly unwell and needing to rest but his mood had been lifted slightly. He walked through the front door quickly, wanting to get through before they’d be rushing things to and from inside the house.
He walked over to the fridge and pulled out a cold glass bottle of water, looking over at you begrudgingly as he sat down on the dining room table and flipped through the soft new pages of the notebook.
“Any idea what you’ll do with it yet?”
He shook his head plainly. “No, I might draw some of the horses. Been a while since I drew Boadicea, or Rachel.” He shrugged. “Could draw Neil if he’d stand still.”
“That’s good.”
“Might go up to Owanjila at some point.”
“You could make a day of it.”
“Yeah, I could.”
You let out an exasperated sigh. “Can you stop doing that?” You cursed at him, agitated by how he was acting. “Don’t get upset at me over this.”
“I was fine.” He gritted his teeth.
“You were on the ground struggling to breathe.” You bit back, emphasising every word. He didn’t respond, just glancing away from you. He knew you were right, but didn’t want to admit it since it was inherently showing more weakness. “You...” You trailed off briefly.
“Sorry.” He mumbled, interjecting the conversation. “Jus’.. Don’t wanna be useless.”
“You’re not useless, you’re sick.”
“I know but—”
“Don’t you even try to compare yourself to Uncle.” Arthur stayed silent as you hit the nail on the head. “You did enough work today. Relax. Draw, journal, something. You have a few hours until the sun sets.”
“Fine.”
“I’ll make a deal with you.”
“What?” He was beginning to come across as overly defensive, though softened into a defeated sigh as you tried to compromise.
“Abigail gets angry at me, she don’t like how I do the dishes or clean clothes.” I rolled my eyes. “I’ll pro’lly try to help with the yard work. You can do more with less hassle.”
“I guess.” He shrugged.
“Weather forecasts think that it might rain sometime this week, means less work here, we can go to Owanjila.” He wasn’t too keen on it being babysat but he accepted it nonetheless.
“That’d be kinda nice...” He trailed off.
“We can do some fishin’ so they don’t think we’re bein lazy.” It was clear who the ‘they’ was in that sentence, which made him laugh in a silent exhale. “You can draw some of the scenery, set up a mini camp and just.. Have a day off. Hows that?”
“But—”
“Stop. You need to stop.”
“I’m bored!” He said, clearly agitated and exhausted. “I need something to do, ‘nd everyone jus’ wants me to rest but I gotta do somethin’ or I feel like shit.”
“I just suggested something.” I said sternly.
He looks around the dining area, chewing the inside of his cheek as he considers the idea. He sucked on his teeth slightly.
“Tch... Fine.” He admitted, like a defeated child.
There’s a long moment of silence, and you reach across the table to hold his hand. He continues to avoid eye contact, and his hand doesn’t hold yours back.
Arthur’s voice is barely above a mumble; so sulky for a man so strong, or so he claims to be. Your eyes flickered between his gaze and him, waiting for him to speak. Arthur, desperate to look literally anywhere else, found himself staring at John’s taxidermied squirrel. If you didn’t know any better, one would probably assume he’s admiring the finest piece of art the 1900s has to offer. He seems to linger on the concept for a while, which worries you. You can’t help but wonder what’s going on in that mind of his.
The silence blares in your ears for a bit too long. Clearing his throat, Arthur looked you in the eyes.
“We’ll see how things go.”

Grace: Rex is the lucky one for rn 💖👑💖
Nancy: True 😍😍😍
Nancy: My parents don’t need any more grandkids yet, I am NOT trying to compete with him on this 😷
Grace: Yeah I DON’T wanna talk about it either
Nancy: I can’t believe they made it to now though, she must have got rid of some, right?
Nancy: Like, she’s nearly 25, how long have they been together? There’s no way
Grace: STOP ⛔️⛔️
Nancy: I’ve got feelings about it too, babe
Nancy: She was like, my best friend since birth before they did… THAT
Grace: it’ll forever be too much to unpack, I just CAN’T
Nancy: There’s going to be a baby explosion in your family soon though, you need to prepare yourself mentally
Grace: …
Grace: I’ll NEVER be mentally strong enough 😣😣
Nancy: It’s the reality though, AWFUL as it is
Grace: I know 😭
Nancy: Jan and Ava claimed to be more sensible but look at the pair of them
Nancy: Ugh, it stresses me OUT 😥
Grace: I’ve totally changed my mind, I wish I wasn’t going home now
Nancy: Don’t they all, like, live with you, basically
Nancy: I couldn’t STAND to watch Ava and James all loved up with his kids like they’re theirs all the time like that
Grace: I’m counting down the days til I can leave, obviously
Nancy: Yeah, I bet
Nancy: like he’s nice to look at but if that’s never coming your way it’s entirely depressing
Grace: UGH
Nancy: I should’ve locked it down with James whilst I had the chance, he is too intent on ruining my sister’s life with his mistakes now
Grace: but then instead he’d be ruining yours
Nancy: She’s my little sister, I’d do anything for her
Grace: 🥺 I know, but you’re like my big sister, I can’t let you 🥺
Nancy: 💞💞💞💞💞
Nancy: I just wish I could make her see it for what it is, that’s all
Grace: me too, I’ve tried talking to her loads of times even though she treats me like I’m stupid whenever I do
Nancy: They’ve got way too much pride, they can’t see we’re trying to help but
Nancy: at least we try, however unappreciated
Grace: I wish you were my sister, I hate the ones I’ve got, they don’t try AT ALL
Nancy: I’m more than that, it’s special 🤍🔒🤍
Grace: I should be allowed to live with you, it’s not like anyone cares if I go to school or not when I’m back there OR what else I do
Nancy: The way your school works is SO confusing though, if you were here you could already be in your last year of your beauty course instead of them forcing you to do like sixth form schooly vibes
Grace: IKR?!
Nancy: Like, you DON’T want to go to Uni and be that girl… such a waste of time 💀💀
Grace: & when I don’t pass which DUH I’m NOT gonna, hello??! they’ll try & make me redo the year, they do it ALL the time 💀💀
Nancy: Oh babes, not you being like 20 still in your uniform, you cannot, that’s TOO much
Grace: 😷😷😷
Grace: I’ll have to walk out with no exams 👋🏽😘 idc cos I don’t need to look back when I leave ❤️💂🦁🌹🤍☔️🤍🫖🎡💷💙
Nancy: We cannot wait 🥳🥳🥳🥺🥰🥰
Nancy: we being me and Rex, obvs
Grace: not you & whoever you hit up last night while I was being unhinged in [whatever the restaurant is called] ??
Nancy: Lord no, no daddy for you yet, sorry 😌
Grace: I’m the opposite of mad about it 🥳🥳🥳🥺🥰🥰
Nancy: I would call you out but as you plan to be forever single too, it’s all good 😘
Grace: sorry not sorry!! I need you 🤍🔒🤍
Nancy: Forever and ever, girl
Grace: I miss you already & always
Grace: this is gonna be the LONGEST week of my life 🙄🥱
Nancy: I don’t even know HOW I’m going to fill my weekdays, for real 😩
Nancy: Gonna have to hit up this 🔗 even though idc about him
Grace: with dog walks ?? 😂😂😂 jk I know you would NEVER 😂
Nancy: 😆 My 🍑 would thank me but nah
Grace: ❌🐶💩🚫
Nancy: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Grace: … can I ask you for a favour that’s maybe almost as bad?
Nancy: … Go on
Grace: can you keep checking in on Teddy for a sec?? cos I had to unfollow obvs & I wanna make sure he’s not, like, swearing off all girls & planning to die alone too… I’d feel worse than I already do atm 💔💔
Nancy: Of course, we have plenty of mutual friends anyway, I will undoubtedly see or hear of his whereabouts
Grace: thanks, it’s cringe to ask but, like, I have now so ✌🏽
Nancy: It’s cool, he’s not going to find out you did
Grace: yeah true 🙌🏽
Nancy: You don’t want a report back, do you?
Nancy: Like I’ll just make sure he’s cool but I won’t blow you up over it
Grace: I’ll be calm, it’s none of my business anyway
Grace: as long as he’s okay & over it
Nancy: 👌
Grace: IOU again 🤍
Nancy: [Me like, should probably come at this boy and cackle so you don’t lose your composure here hun]
Grace: [go for it gal]
Nancy: I was THIS close to losing it
Teddy: Dare I ask why?
Nancy: [just send him a screenshot of this poor gal earnestly wanting to check you aren’t heartbroken]
Nancy: See?
Teddy: That I did an incredible job on her? Yes but I already knew it 💔🧸💐 Poor me
Nancy: God, you make me sick 😏
Nancy: I thought she was joking, in a rare display of self-awareness
Teddy: I’d love to make you sick, choose your preferred method & get back to me
Nancy: Haven’t you got a noose to fill?
Nancy: The devastation being as real as it is
Teddy: Okay, auto erotic asphyxiation it is 👀
Nancy: 🙄😘
Nancy: With the mood she’s in, my death will look like a suicide pact
Teddy: She’s gone, get in the mood I’m in
Nancy: You’re being so subtle, however will I guess what mood that is?
Teddy: & you’re being hilarious, of course I miss you
Nancy: I miss you more
Nancy: having to listen to her holier-than-thou version of you just made me want to talk to the real you
Teddy: Invite me over & you can do more than talk
Nancy: Do you have to be invited in 🧛♂️
Teddy: No, but it’ll upset Rex if I barge in, he’s protective of you
Nancy: He is 🥺
Nancy: you’ll have to be nice, if you come for a visit
Teddy: It’ll be different when I have a 🔑 but for now I’ll behave well & let him be the man of the house
Nancy: It’d be mean of you to put him in his place today, he doesn’t know he isn’t meant to be top dog yet, poor baby
Teddy: I’ve missed him too so I’ll be 😇 daddy & not 😈
Nancy: 🤏 triggering for me but I’ll let it slide, you can’t help how boring she’d like you to be
Teddy: It won’t be boring for either of us when you relay everything she said about me
Nancy: We talked about A LOT of stuff, there’s definite potential for progress
Teddy: Good
Teddy: & has your new bed arrived yet?
Nancy: Luckily after she got to the airport
Nancy: she’s already confused about the sudden appearance of the dog
Teddy: You live alone, you need him
Nancy: Yes but you know, I can’t fit it in a handbag and I’ve not made him his own social media profiles… so why did I bother ???
Teddy: 🙄 hers are full of cats, she’s hardly the authority on dogs
Nancy: She has no taste, sorry to say
Nancy: She definitely thinks he’s scary but is not gonna say that to my face
Teddy: I’m aware, darling, the disgusting clothes she tried to pick out on her own before I stepped in spoke for themselves
Teddy: but she’s correct about one thing, she should be scared of him
Nancy: You have pretty good taste in clothes, if my memory serves
Teddy: Nothing is going to look anything but awful on her body regardless but I like that you’ve noticed
Nancy: Yeah, well, I kept the lingerie on for ages
Teddy: I still owe you an outfit too, I haven’t forgotten
Nancy: How is your head this morning?
Teddy: Fantastic, if you’d like me to make us our reservation at [the restaurant he took Grace too so they can recreate it] for tonight, I will
Nancy: I suppose we’ll have to eat at some point, true
Teddy: I’ll bring home for Rex what I ordered for her, I couldn’t possibly suggest you eat it
Nancy: You wanted to make me sick, not give me a lifelong disorder, yeah?
Teddy: I want to make you happy, baby
Nancy: You’re helping
Nancy: how comfy this bed is is high up the list too
Teddy: Are you going to show me?
Nancy: [send him a pic on this enormous bed like omg]
Nancy: You could fit so many 🐶 in this thing
Teddy: I’ll make you 🤰 sick & we’ll see how many babies we can fit in there
Nancy: I am really in the mood to get pregnant after promising her I would never so
Nancy: good thing our moods are matching
Teddy: Because you’re breaking a promise to her I’ll make one to give you twins that aren’t mutants like your brothers, for yours & your parents’ sake
Nancy: You’re SO giving
Nancy: I’ll make sure they’re boys, for your sake
Teddy: Thank you, it would mean A LOT to me
Nancy: Anything for you seems like a risky precedent to set but I’m not scared
Teddy: I couldn’t be any prouder of you for overcoming your fear of me
Nancy: You’re even cuter than Rex, just don’t say anything
Teddy: I’m only in the mood to say your name
Nancy: let me hear it
Teddy: [SUCH a shameless voice note, me like sir you live at home, thank god you do have a rich person gaff and are probably as far away from your parents as poss]
Nancy: 🥴 Oh
Nancy: the fact you can do that as loud as you want now
Teddy: I’m determined all your neighbours are going to hate me LONG before I move in
Nancy: They’ll be begging me to throw another party instead 😁
Teddy: They’ll have to wait until I’ve finished begging you for what I want
Nancy: Baby
Teddy: It’s quite a list, they’ll probably be rather impatient, I’m sorry
Nancy: I’m not
Teddy: Me either, not at all
Nancy: I can’t leave you needy
Teddy: What kind of mother would you be if that’s the precedent?
Nancy: The only mother of your children you want
Teddy: Yes
Nancy: I’m really glad you get to give me everything you have, it’d be wrong to hold back, wrong for us
Teddy: Our moods definitely are matching
Nancy: I couldn’t have got her out the door fast enough
Teddy: You know I’d have to trick you if you didn’t want what I want & I’d feel bad about it
Nancy: Sorry I’m as fucked up as you
Nancy: we can trick everyone else, whenever we want to use them
Teddy: I’m not, I love that you’re as fucked up as I am
Nancy: It makes me want to be with you always, how high I feel thinking about the things I can admit to liking to you
Teddy: You can tell me anything, I’m not afraid of that as a set precedent either
Nancy: I want to feel you getting hard under me when I tell you everything she said
Teddy: Okay, I’ll try & think about something else for a while so it’s how I have to become again instead of just the state I’m already in
Nancy: It’d be so hypocritical of me to expect that, but you’ll get more turned on, twitchy, trying to fuck me, it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
Teddy: I am a new level of turned on since we started doing this
Nancy: it’s unreal, you are
Teddy: You are, it’s unbelievable I haven’t fucked you yet, the amount I’ve thought about it & the amount I’ve cum for you
Nancy: I want to feel like I’m full to the brim, like genuinely can’t move for it, that’s the only thing that would be appropriate
Teddy: You will, I woke up feeling like that
Nancy: 🤤 you should’ve woken up in my mouth, I’m so sorry
Teddy: It isn’t your fault you had to wake up to her big mouth, I’m sorry, you deserve so much better
Nancy: Her crying is foreplay, that’s as good as she will be for us
Teddy: Please tell me you recorded it 🙏
Nancy: Do I love you?
Teddy: Desperately
Nancy: and I as desperately wanted to touch myself whilst she was, so, yes, it was necessary
Teddy: I as desperately need to marry you right now
Nancy: the answer is yes
Teddy: You’re fucking perfect
Nancy: Boys are always too nice and I hate them for it so much
Nancy: you’re the most special, my dream boy
Teddy: Tell me about it, most girls are pathetic, it makes my stomach turn over in the opposite to a fun way
Nancy: I’ve spent so damn long being unsatisfied by everything and everyone, no matter the combination or how long I kept it all going
Teddy: I know, so was I
Nancy: We were with the same people, on the same things, it barely touching the sides
Teddy: I was beginning to feel as devastated by it all for real as Grace thinks she is
Nancy: Tell me about it, it’s exhausting, staying on their level when I want to go so much further
Teddy: & then you get reckless, do things you wouldn’t & shouldn’t otherwise
Teddy: I stayed with [the girl from the very beginning she asked him about] too long
Nancy: She’d turn you normal, I’ve watched it happen so many times
Teddy: I felt it starting to happen
Nancy: You were born for this, to be depraved
Teddy: You can’t decide you want something besides this, we’ll never find anything else like it again
Nancy: I just want more, no boundaries
Teddy: I don’t have any, my father paid a fortune every term to prevent me from being expelled from school
Nancy: As he should, how much of this is his fault
Teddy: I insist upon the majority of the credit, naturally
Nancy: You’re the one I want, not either of your siblings, so it must be true
Teddy: Nurture, or lack of, can only be blamed to an extent
Teddy: DNA the same
Nancy: Our kids don’t stand a chance
Teddy: They stand every chance of being just like us, which is why anyone reproduces in the first place
Teddy: at least your ego, unlike your brother’s, is worthy of being gifted that, because you’re incredible
Nancy: No, you
Nancy: I don’t know how I’m meant to act around all your mini-mes 😍
Teddy: However you like, they owe you everything, they wouldn’t even exist if not for you
Nancy: They’ll be the most spoilt, there’s no way to resist
Teddy: No, you will
Nancy: 🥰
Nancy: Nothing is changing this, touching what this is
Teddy: I’d seriously go insane
Nancy: Not in a fun way
Teddy: When I thought this was over
Nancy: I could feel the spiral coming, the amount of shit I’d have to do to try and replace what this has given me already
Teddy: It’s irreplaceable, I wouldn’t be able to try, I’d have to give up & become like them
Nancy: I won’t let it happen
Teddy: We can’t
Nancy: I’m done watching everyone get taken over
Nancy: you don’t deserve that slow death
Teddy: I’m going to watch you get everything you’ve ever wanted, nothing else
Nancy: This is going to be the best week of your life, you have no idea
Teddy: I have lots of ideas
Nancy: that is what I like about you
Teddy: But yeah, it is going to be the best week of my life, no doubt
Nancy: So far, anyway
Nancy: I don’t plan on stopping
Teddy: & I absolutely don’t intend to stop you
Nancy: At least you can seem suitably subdued on your socials but still have things you can post, keep her 👀 off you
Teddy: Hers are going to be too funny
Nancy: Are we going to be genuine with how we’re struggling this week or act like we’re living our best life? 🤔😂
Teddy: Genuine isn’t something she can do, clearly
Nancy: yeah but what if you’re stalking her socials because you’re SO into her?!
Teddy: Of course
Nancy: The weird confidence with a total lack of self-esteem in general is so weird
Teddy: It would be sufficiently jarring to frighten off other boys with a different motive
Nancy: That is what she does best, yeah
Teddy: I’d offer her some tips if it weren’t entirely counterproductive & a secret how much they like me
Nancy: It’s safe to say you do not have the same type, if she was honest with what she wants and not what she wants to look like she wants
Nancy: should actually go to church to find herself a man but there we go
Teddy: She’d rather live a lie & she’s about to
Nancy: She’s so welcome 🥰
Teddy: 🧚🏼♂️
Nancy: You’ll really wanna ease up on the fairy stuff though, she is basically homophobic
Teddy: I can’t wait to introduce her to the family, she’ll fit right in
Nancy: Gross
Teddy: Her mother will sleep with anything with a pulse, a paid therapist isn’t necessary to recognise the correlation
Nancy: She would choose to ignore how the multiple baby daddies are the issue there 🙄
Teddy: She’d have her own by now, she obviously doesn’t see it as an issue
Nancy: It unavoidably is, kinda shocked she didn’t go that hard into her trauma once she was hammered but well done, sis 💁♀️👏
Nancy: She just wants to be normal, despite the fact her complete lack of defining or unique features is what makes her so easy to overlook
Teddy: She’s given me a ridiculously easy task at least, be a bore & a romantic cliche
Nancy: 🥱🥱🥱🥱
Nancy: Thank God I’ve given you other chances to impress me
Teddy: I would’ve found & taken the opportunity if you were for some reason yet to be impressed
Nancy: I usually am but
Nancy: I want you to change that so you better
Teddy: Is that my eagerly awaited invitation?
Nancy: Are you really not on the way already?
Teddy: Perhaps, or perhaps not
Nancy: I’m not getting out the good paper to write you one, come on
Teddy: There’s the dyslexic privilege I’m ready to exploit
Nancy: Focus on exploiting me, thanks
Teddy: Focus & you’ll be aware I’m on my way
Nancy: I’m very focused, I have no other plans today
Teddy: I’m very pleased to hear it
Nancy: This bed is too nice to get out of
Teddy: It should be, we worked hard to make it nice with all those decisions
Nancy: I hope you like it, enough to stay
Teddy: I like you enough to stay
Nancy: You make me feel
Nancy: it’s like weak and dumb but in a good way, somehow?
Teddy: Well, I did insist I’d treat you better than your father & that’s what they do in the negative, so I’m on the right track
Nancy: I hadn’t forgotten, sort of seared into my brain, that one 😳
Teddy: I hated when you said you weren’t going to hold me to anything I’d said
Nancy: Yeah, I know, it was mean
Teddy: You’re not allowed to forget, it’s too important & we both know how in your face Grace & I are going to be
Nancy: Alright, I’ll hold myself to it
Teddy: I love you, remember I said it to you first
Nancy: and you’ve told me, any motive you could have
Teddy: I’ll repeat it every chance I have
Nancy: I’ll try not to be cunty to you, remember why we’re doing this
Nancy: at some point, I’ll have to turn into your biggest fan anyway
Teddy: Fighting just means making up, I’ll try & remind myself
Nancy: I don’t do jealousy, this would be a stupid reason to start
Teddy: You being jealous of anyone is laughable, over her it couldn’t be more ridiculous
Nancy: You can call me dumb about this, I’ll not fight you
Teddy: It means you care, I don’t want to fight about that
Nancy: I know you like it, you’re soft
Teddy: I most certainly am not
Teddy: [photographic evidence nobody asked for, soz as per to whoever is driving him rn]
Nancy: Oh, OKAY
Nancy: I’ve never been happier to be proven wrong 🥺🥺🥺
Teddy: Did you pick me because you think I’m soft?
Nancy: I didn’t know you were
Teddy: I’m curious what it means, aside from a blatant 🧚🏼♂️ slur, possibly?
Nancy: Yeah, I’m cyberbullying you right now 😉
Nancy: I’m not sure exactly what I mean… just that you’re more invested than I thought you’d be, maybe? You want more than what I assumed you would
Teddy: You expected me to be more calculating, callous, I understand why
Nancy: Just more predictable even
Nancy: All I offered you at the start was the chance to use her and a share of a decent stash, remember
Teddy: I haven’t forgotten you owe me A LOT of K, predictable as that may be
Nancy: 😏 we’ll find somewhere not entirely predictable to take it
Teddy: One thing you should’ve already had a fixed idea of about me is I’ll always be willing to go deeper down the rabbit hole, Alice
Teddy: the moment a better offer comes along, that’s what I want, regardless of how far away from the starting point it is
Nancy: I didn’t imagine you’d say no to a chance of hooking up
Nancy: but more like you’re ticking off a who’s who, not this
Teddy: Nobody, aside from your sister, has ever said no to hooking up, it’s not what I said yes to, I didn’t imagine that part would even be much fun
Nancy: That’s a little rude
Teddy: I’ve never been happier to be proved wrong either, darling
Nancy: You haven’t yet, no pressure or anything
Teddy: But I have, it’s been the most fun so far
Nancy: But if it’s shit now I’ll have to pretend I never said any of this and kick you out
Teddy: Oh please, I’d refuse to go anywhere until it was good
Teddy: Who do you think I am?
Nancy: You’re the one that’s put it in my head
Nancy: You’ll have to take the spare room and start paying rent
Teddy: I’m used to being disappointed, I’ve been open about that, it isn’t a personal attack worthy of charging me rent
Nancy: 👌 roomie
Teddy: Okay, fine, I’ll add it to our roleplays
Nancy: but I know what you mean
Nancy: and can guess why you wanted to do it in the first place
Teddy: We’ve talked through our motives pretty extensively by now, but if you feel like there’s something you’re still doing guesswork on, you can ask me
Nancy: The lack of a challenge she presents is more than made up in the one I do, it’s simple enough
Teddy: If you were a challenge
Nancy: Really?
Teddy: Come on, it hasn’t exactly taken us long to get here
Nancy: Wow
Teddy: There’s no reason to be offended
Nancy: I’m not, just disappointed, so what’s new
Teddy: There’s less reason to be disappointed
Nancy: I’m not about to play into your hand, so you have every reason to be disappointed, actually
Teddy: It isn’t a game, you know that
Nancy: but it is, and that’s why you said yes
Teddy: It was when I agreed to do this, it’s not anymore
Nancy: Alright
Teddy: What are you upset about?
Nancy: I’m not upset, you just reminded me what we’re actually doing here
Teddy: Nancy, this is silly
Nancy: You only feel it now because you reckoned you were about to achieve your goal
Teddy: No, I don’t feel it because that isn’t what my goal is
Nancy: We have no reason to trust each other, that’s stupid
Teddy: Are you seriously going to do this again?
Nancy: Obviously
Teddy: You do trust me
Nancy: That would be stupid
Teddy: You’re being stupid not to when the entire reason we’re here this fast is because we’re so well suited
Nancy: and not just how easy it was because you’re so great, right?
Teddy: How many times can I tell you I’m not playing you?
Nancy: That’s what you say when you’re trying, you slipped up, sorry
Teddy: You want me to slip up because, you said it yourself, you feel under pressure
Nancy: If it was real, of course I would, that’s intentional too
Teddy: Call it off because you’re scared, it’s nonsense to go for this angle & turn me into someone I am not
Nancy: Be who you want, Teddy
Teddy: If who you want to be is crazy I can’t talk to you
Nancy: We don’t need to talk, it’s not useful to either of us right now
Teddy: When you’ve seen sense you know where I am or am likely to be
Nancy: I’ll avoid where I imagine you’re more likely to be if you do the same for me
Teddy: I don’t promise to
Nancy: Why would you bother
Teddy: It isn’t beneficial for either of us for me to give you your own way when you’re this wrong about why you want it
Nancy: all I want now is to party and there are so many places I can achieve that, even if I have to walk out of any you might be in
Teddy: I won’t be there, I have no interest in piling disappointment upon disappointment, it’s all boring, I told you
Nancy: I know what it is, it’s what I have
Teddy: No, we have each other if you just stop
Nancy: How, you made that impossible
Teddy: Nothing is impossible, even while you’re having an insane identity crisis about this, I know who we both are
Nancy: Don’t be so bloody patronising
Teddy: Don’t behave like your clueless cousin
Nancy: Shut up, she has no backbone, she wouldn’t say any of this
Teddy: It’s the same act of sabotage with an identical end result
Nancy: If you think I’m going to sit around and cry about you like that, dream on
Teddy: I’m painfully aware of what you’re going to do & it’s as tragic
Nancy: I don’t call you tragic for being a slut
Teddy: Because I’m not going to fuck someone else instead of you in order to fake I’m still in control when I’m really losing it
Nancy: I just have no interest in fucking you now, as shocking as that might be to you
Teddy: It doesn’t shock me at all your new plan is to lie to yourself & to me
Nancy: Jesus
Teddy: Have a blast being deluded with most of the city about one thing or another, I hope you get the chemical help you need to do so
Nancy: You’re delusional if you think anything about this is attractive
Teddy: I’m not on a mission to attract you, you’re the one who thinks I am, or was
Nancy: Just another day for you, obviously
Teddy: Believe what you want, Nance
Nancy: You’re shit at this
Teddy: Because I’ve never done it before, a fact you’d know if you dared to accept this is actually different
Nancy: Every time I try, you just remind me how it ain’t
Teddy: Maybe you’re right, because whenever you doubt my motives & question me constantly, I have to ask myself why I’m trying to change anything about the way my life is
Nancy: Nothing about this is easy, chat all you want about me wasting my time and being delusional like it’s not what you’re going to go back to
Teddy: But that’s where you’re wrong, it would be easy for me to stay with you
Teddy: I don’t want to go back, I want to go fucking forwards, together
Nancy: I don’t know what’s forward, what’s there
Teddy: Yes you do, but you don’t want it, you don’t trust me enough to let yourself
Nancy: I don’t, and I don’t trust myself
Nancy: I should already be there by now
Teddy: Then that’s it, we can stick to the Grace plan or not, whatever you like, take some time to think about if that’s something you still want
Nancy: Don’t talk to me like this is a meeting
Teddy: It more or less is
Nancy: You can fuck off then
Teddy: Okay
Nancy: Not okay, prick
Teddy: [just leave that there for now hun like the petty bitch you are fucking off despite the fact she wants to keep having a go]
Nancy: [we really fucked you over genetically for having a temper hun, keep your mouth closed though, just unfollow him dramatically everywhere you can for the petty spike of feelings that will give you at least]
Teddy: [obvs you gotta unfollow her too & most importantly you gotta interact with whatever Grace is posting even if it’s just a like or a story view or something because duh, hard same on being cruel and dramatic]
Nancy: [when Grace would definitely tell you so you’re just here seething]
Teddy: [soz not soz, well soz to Grace but you know, oh lads you do amuse me]
Nancy: Can you actually stop, thanks
Teddy: I’m having my own fun, you can’t stop me
Nancy: You said take some time so let me
Teddy: I’m likewise not preventing you from doing that
Nancy: You obviously are because what is that if not going ahead with the Grace plan
Teddy: For all she knows my finger slipped, it commits you to nothing because it can just as easily mean nothing
Nancy: I’m the one who has to discuss what it does or doesn’t mean with her, so no, cut the crap
Teddy: 🥱
Nancy: Teddy, I’m serious because I’m not in the mood to humour her about this
Teddy: I’m done, you don’t need to cry about it
Nancy: You know the damage is already done, that’s why you did it, thanks SO much
Teddy: You’re SO welcome
Nancy: You’re making the decision easier to make
Teddy: Oh good, after all, it is what a gentleman would do & I’m about to forgo the role, have to do what I can while I can
Nancy: You’re as free to continue wooing her as I am to tell her why you started
Teddy: If I was interested in doing so for its own sake, I wouldn’t need your permission, you’re correct
Nancy: You’re that transparent, don’t worry
Teddy: Yes I am & yet here we are
Nancy: You really had to make her talk to me though? Think of something better
Teddy: Why would I? It’s the ideal punishment
Nancy: Because I could call it all off for real if she doesn’t shut the fuck up
Teddy: I don’t care if you do, it’s you who’ll lose out
Nancy: Bullshit
Teddy: I’m not invested in Grace or in any of the rest of your family, I am in you & as you’ve pointed out, I’m wasting my time
Teddy: there’s a multitude of other things I can use to do that too
Nancy: And none of them are as fun, clearly
Teddy: Well, I’m hardly having fun with you either, so as I’ve said, who cares?
Nancy: Because I can’t wreck my family on my own and you can’t yours
Teddy: I’ll find a way which doesn’t involve you or needing anyone’s help, I’ll have plenty of time, nothing but, in fact
Nancy: Right, of course you will
Teddy: There’s no need to pretend my family will be that difficult to ruin, they’re halfway to having done it themselves
Nancy: And how long have they been like that, centuries?
Teddy: Darling, I’m not as old as you, it isn’t as pressing
Nancy: Your choice
Teddy: Yeah
Nancy: Good luck, sorry if she runs to your inbox to shout, or, you’re welcome? Whatever
Teddy: 😘
Nancy: 👋
Teddy: [that went well, go and cause a family argument IRL or something to try and feel something, I’m sure they’ll be thrilled]
Nancy: [we’ve probably likewise snapped at Grace without fully doing a tell-all and now need to have a party and piss off the neighbours again with our behaviour, thanks gal lol]
Teddy: [me like don’t you turn up at that party, boy]
Nancy: [she says don’t you do it honey]
Teddy: [like, he’s very much not above it, especially because his dog is there but it’s probably a bigger fuck you to act like you’re ignoring her entirely unless you’re gonna show purely to take said dog but then what sir, you live at home, you can’t]
Nancy: [that really makes it not the move you think it is, like where are you taking that dog, boy, yes this flat is entirely funded by our parents but at least they aren’t here lol]
Teddy: [mhmm, exactly so don’t, flop]
Gia: Why did you choose today to be a colossal nightmare?
Teddy: Why not today?
Gia: Because it is the only day I can guarantee any time spent with my family
Teddy: Noted, every day of your life is a colossal nightmare, but that’s hardly something I’m to blame for
Gia: You are to blame for Seb not wanting to do this every week now
Teddy: Please, shortening his name like that isn’t going to magically make him look or act your age, but it WILL make me gag 🤢
Gia: And here was me hoping University might make you mature slightly…
Teddy: Hasn’t ‘girls mature faster than boys’ been your entire reason to live since before I was born?
Gia: I’ve never acted the way you do, even if I’d wanted to, I’d have never gotten away with it
Teddy: 💔 I’d suggest you try it but it’s rather too late now, unless you intend to take behaving as I would as far as forsaking your husband
Gia: As I said, I have literally no desire to throw a tantrum like that
Gia: Why are you?
Teddy: Why are you acting as if you suddenly care?
Gia: Assumedly, that’s what you were after, attention
Teddy: Incorrect, but it’s always the goal to make everyone suffer as I must
Gia: Precisely
Gia: If you didn’t want the parents to have to have hushed conversations about you, you would do as the rest of us do and keep it to yourself
Teddy: Well, if they won’t have full volume conversations about each other & address the real issues
Gia: Is that why you’re sad, mummy and daddy are fighting again?
Teddy: No, but I am cheered by your slight attempt at humour
Gia: If mocking you can be considered a joke, I suppose
Gia: Could you not find an excuse to absent yourself if you were going to be in such a mood though, it isn’t as if James attends, you don’t have to
Teddy: It’s extremely laughable you think you have any grounds to mock me, yes
Teddy: & that you would dare to comment on my mood given your spouse’s inability to do anything with his face but 😒
Gia: He’s only like that around you, actually
Gia: and who could blame him?
Teddy: I’m doing him a favour, his brats are going to be my age soon, it’s best he practises because he can’t exactly leave the supportive parenting to you
Gia: I’m not your mother, I don’t need to handhold you through your hangover/heartbreak to prove that I’m a capable parent
Teddy: You’re nobody’s mother, Gia & LONG may that continue to be the case, truly 🙏
Gia: If I had such news, I would have cut through your nonsense with it
Teddy: Such a pity he’s incapable of delivering it for you, in any sense
Gia: Do you have to be so disgusting?
Teddy: You married him, that’s disgusting
Gia: No one asked your opinion, how you feel about him is irrelevant
Teddy: & yet here you are defending yourself against my opinion, it’s obviously relevant to you if you feel the need
Gia: You defend your partner, that’s pretty standard
Teddy: When he’s so frail, of course
Gia: So instead of finding yourself a job, you’re spending your time working on your stand-up, are you?
Teddy: Oh I’m sorry, do you have news of our father going bankrupt? I would’ve given you the floor
Gia: Exactly, I was doing work experience with the firm and had my own part-time job during Uni
Teddy: But you still never got the attention you were after, did you? 🥺
Gia: I don’t want attention, I want, and have, a career
Gia: What do you want, Teddy?
Teddy: Currently, I would like you to stop boring me to tears
Gia: For God’s sake, grow up
Teddy: Like you have? No thanks
Gia: Do you want to be a joke, like James?
Teddy: You’re a joke too, don’t exempt yourself
Gia: Except I work hard for what I have, don’t sponge off of mum and dad and I also don’t embarrass them, at every opportunity I have, so, no, I’m not
Teddy: You married into what you have & mother is mortified
Gia: She is not
Teddy: She is
Gia: You’re just saying that
Teddy: She says it, drunk words are the truest, G
Gia: Perhaps she ought to lay off the liquor then
Teddy: Perhaps if she’d married better herself she would
Gia: I fail to see how she could, and this is such a tired, irrelevant fantasy of yours anyway, they’re fine
Teddy: I’m not going to open up about my newer fantasies, especially not to you
Gia: I will never, ever ask you to
Teddy: Go away, you’re making me more upset
Gia: What on earth is wrong with you? You’re behaving more strangely than usual
Teddy: You literally just said you’d never, ever ask
Gia: As a rule, don’t bring your girl trouble to the table if you wouldn’t actually bring the girl
Teddy: I would, but she’d reject the invitation
Gia: 💔
Teddy: Thank you for your incredible contribution
Gia: You’re not serious, you aren’t serious about anything
Gia: you’ll be fine in the morning
Teddy: It would serve you right if I was dead in the morning, but I’m not pathetic, at least
Gia: You are SO dramatic
Teddy: I have intense feelings about her, you’re dismissive about anything which doesn’t involve your husband’s life insurance
