Tiel:You've been warned
Tiel:When I got off the train at Park Street Station, there was all this hot air blowing on the platform and everything smelled like pee and corn nuts and I puked in an alley. A really nice stranger stopped and gave me some napkins
Sam:Oh sweetheart
Tiel:And then I got nauseous walking down a flight of stairs a few minutes ago and I'm kinda terrified that I'm going to vomit all over the Red Line during rush hour and even though I feel gross I'm also hungry and that's so confusing and I'm so tired and Baby is kicking my ass
Sam:Baby is telling you that you need to take it easy.
Sam:I'm coming to get you in twenty minutes. We're going home. You're taking a nap. We're having a serious conversation about your teaching and research load. I'm making you some of that roasted carrot soup you like.
Tiel:Oh god no no no no
Tiel:No carrots. Carrots do not sound like something I'm going to keep down today.
Sam:Ok. Tell me what you can handle and I'll take care of it
Tiel:Would you hate me if I said macaroni and cheese?
Sam:A. Consider it done.
Sam:B. Macaroni and cheese isn't reasonable grounds to hate anyone, ever.
Sam:C. You need to get over this feeling that you have to do everything yourself, or that you shouldn't ask for my help. I put that baby in you. I'm going to feed you whatever the hell you want, whenever you want it, and I want you to stop apologizing for it now.
Sam:And if it isn't too much to ask, I'd like to know when my wife is sick in alleys. It warms my heart to know the people of Boston are kind to pregnant women, but please stop trying to handle everything alone
Tiel:Wow
Sam:Excuse me?
Tiel:I love your bossy side.
Sam:Yeah, you do.
Tiel:I've decided
Sam:You're welcome to add more context to that
Tiel:About my family
Sam:Ah. Yes.
Tiel:I'll send my dad an email but not right away. After we tell everyone else.
Sam:If that's what you want, I'll support you.
Tiel:I know, and I appreciate that
Sam:I'd appreciate you letting me handle that entire situation
Tiel:Ughhh. It's not your fight
Sam:You're my fight.
Sam:So…I did something today
Tiel:That's good.
