            “i can’t keep doing things for you. you know that, right?”

FARAH: because i want you to get me something please.

      for the last few days, marleny felt off. there were things that would annoy her that usually wouldn’t, she’s unusually full after every meal she eats, and she’s filling out her clothes again. granted, she did gain some weight back when she was pregnant with nick, but she’s shed some of those pounds in the two years since. marleny has her hands full running after nick, and now with knox in the house, but she thinks that she has it all figured out. did she think that she was going to be standing in this aisle again? of course not. did she think that she’d be asking nick which test was better? absolutely not, but here she was, tossing the test into the cart as she continues with her leisure shopping. once marleny is home and nick is distracted by some kids’ song on loop, she takes a minute to either decide if she needs tampons or if they’re finally going to put nick’s old crib to good use. her hands are sweaty as she sits on the edge of their bathtub, the clearblue sitting on top of the counter. she can’t bring herself to look at it, and she knows that it’s been well over three minutes, but she just can’t. marleny’s leg bounces impatiently as she hears footsteps in their bedroom, and she has to take a second before she speaks. “uh, i know we kind of didn’t plan this and i might have said that we weren’t going to have another baby soon because we just got a dog, but i can’t look at it.”

@advrn                     L i s t e n  I adore this mun so much. They’ve seen me go through like…. 3 or 4 revamps of caspian and stuck with me through it all. Our ship is a godsend and your writing is a dream. I still day dream about our ship and I just simply love talking to you too! You’re such a chill and wonderful person and sometimes I genuinely question why you’d want to RP with little ol me and my ridiculous muse. (seriously how do Jasmine & Ali put up with him?). I love you girly! Thanks for being one of my faithful partners.
