Just A Fruity Flame Baby

Okay apparently she missed some information here that she learns rapidly about open relationships as even Mira chastises Rumi for not talking through EVERYTHING before starting anything with anyone and offers Zoey something to drink.

Zoey, deciding the right and proper good thing to do with all of this is to tell the truth to just hide the fact she's pregnant for now, lie through her teeth and go about her life. It's not like they'll all be in the same town for long right? Right.

And even if they DO happen to be in the same place for a long time and even if she IS falling head over heels for both of them and they are all hanging out together all the time it's not like it MEANS anything. She's just a-- a friends with benefits duh. Maybe just a normal friend. There's absolutely no way they might feel the same way about her, that'd be crazy.

Her telling anyone anything about paternity's just going to ruin everyone's life so it's just her and the bat ("I can nickname my kid what I want. And it's currently hanging upside down in the dark for the next few months so bat.") for the foreseeable future and that's totally gonna kill her break her heart be okay.

Featuring idiots who don't do math and it genuinely does not occur to Rumi (who is grouchy, and sulky, and possessive as fuck) that Zoey's baby might be hers cause duh they used protection and it was just 'casual' so that means Zoey probably dated other people and all.

Mira, coming up with excuses to hang around their job, get Zoey over to their place, spend any time at all with Zoey because oh shit no she's cute, and funny. (Including volunteering handmedowns and pregnancy advice with only a little less jealousy than Rumi shows.)

Rumi, about two steps away from punching the next male presenting person to smile at Zoey or be smiled at by Zoey because she's jealous (of herself unknowingly) and her 15 step plan to convince Zoey into a triad is apparently not working damn it.

Optionally, a third party being the one to do the math first. Like Celine, at toddler's birthday party, working out 1) when Rumi and Zoey met and 2) just when Zoey's due. but NOT realizing Rumi and Mira have no fucking clue.

[Truly though you could switch out Zoey and Rumi role wise and it'd still work in the best way because they're both just that level of thinking that they're too much or not loved 'in that way' when they are and overthinking the little details while not seeing the big picture. Mira's too aware to just 'yeah I'm hiding who's baby this is' about things. She's gotta be our smart one.]
