[avery]: i’m so sorry about your grandfather. i know you two were close...

[avery]: if there’s something i can do...

[freya’s bach party]

-

[freya]: bartender, next drinks are on meeee

[freya]: whaaat?

[halley]: you used to have a better tolerance for alcohol

[halley]: is it parenthood or are you too nervous about the wedding?

[nova]: i bet it’s both

[freya]: you two have so little faith in me. i’m already married. it’s just a ceremony and the party

*hiccups*

[freya]: oops

-

[aurora]: i’m so excited to meet him!

[cassandra]: me too!

-

[wolfgang]: how are you doing, baby?

[freya]: i’m tired, but i’m okay

[wolfgang]: i’m so happy for you, frey! even if you chose malcolm to be his name

[freya]: dad...

[wolfgang]: i’m joking

[freya]: yeah, right

[aurora]: he’s not. i had to listen to him cry about it. literal tears.

-

[avery]: this is him, mom. i guess he’s not thrilled to be awake for this

[cassandra]: maybe you should let him sleep. i can hold him another time.

[avery]: you sure you don’t want to hold him right now?

[cassandra]: i’m sure. i wonder if he’s going to look like you... like your dad. he’s already so cute

[avery]: i don’t know what i want. perhaps it would make me miss dad even more, but at the same time it would be nice having him closer to me, somehow

-

[nova]: congrats, freya! i’m so happy for you!

[freya]: thanks nova! i’m over the moon. i think being a mom was secretly a dream of mine.

-

*crushing on emory*

*just being nice with his best friend little sister*

-

[collin]: welcome to the parenthood, avery

[avery]: it’s scary and wonderful at the same time

[collin]: i know. but i’m sure you’re going to handle it well. and if you have questions, just call or text me

-

[freya]: he’s so cute, right?

[freya]: do you think he looks like me?

[cordelia]: you know all the newborns look like the same, don’t you?

[freya]: ugh! i know. i’m just trying to hold on that my genes will be stronger than avery’s. like yours was stronger than collin’s
