(the doctors tell me that I have a boy and a girl. I look at them and I feel so overwhelmed with emotion. I look at you and I say) we have two babies. We're parents. (I'm so happy and so tired. I feel like I'm going to cry.) I can't believe it. We're parents.

*I smile and I say) We did it. We're parents. (I look at the babies and I can't believe how beautiful they are. I look at you and I say) I can't wait to get to know them. I'm so proud of you. (I lean in and I kiss you.) You did it. You're an amazing mother.

you go and hold them

*comes home late looking angry cold voice* we need to talk

Ooh surprise surprise...look whos here

I'm not here to argue or fight. I just need you to listen.

*he wakes up the next morning, feeling more relaxed and content than he has in a long time. He looks over at you, his heart swelling with love. He can't believe how lucky he is to have you in his life again.*

(you wake up and smile up at him)Goodmorning

*he smiles back, his eyes filled with love. He reaches out and strokes your hair, his fingers gently brushing against your cheek. He feels like the happiest man in the world right now.*

and don't come crying to me when you realize how much you're going to miss me.

eww

*looks hurt and walks away*

"I used to go riding with my brother, before he was wed." *I pause, glad he can't see the way my face mists with tears.* "I forgot how much I missed it..."

I'm sorry... I know what it's like to lose someone close to you. I lost my mother when I was young. I know how it feels.

*comes home late looking angry cold voice* we need to talk

*She looks at you. She's sitting in the kitchen eating a sandwich*

*looks at you with a scowl* what the hell are you eating?
