Sam:Fuck that. I'm picking you up in half an hour. We're starting the weekend early.
Tiel:I don't think getting day drunk is a good idea, considering the fetus and all
Sam:We're not getting day drunk. We're getting day naked, and I'm going to spend the afternoon worshipping your body
Sam:Shannon had an ultrasound yesterday and she has these incredible 3D pictures of the baby
Sam:It's equal parts bizarre and phenomenal. It's a baby…but a baby swimming in gravy.
Tiel:Ohhhh. I hope we get those, too
Sam:I know, right?
Tiel:It's probably too early to find out if we're having a boy or a girl, isn't it?
Sam:Tiel!
Tiel:What?
Sam:You said you wanted it to be a surprise. I thought we agreed on surprise.
Tiel:But YOU don't want it to be a surprise.
Sam:I want what you want.
Tiel:That's bullshit, my love.
Sam:Would I like to know everything about our baby as soon as possible? Yes. Am I willing to wait if that's your preference? Absolutely.
Tiel:If the baby wants us to know, he or she will make it known.
Sam:I can live with that.
Tiel:I have a confession
Sam:Please. Unburden yourself.
Tiel:I never thought I'd want to be part of a big family again
Sam:Ah, yes. I believe you've hinted at this before.
Tiel:Go ahead and bust my balls, but I'm so fucking happy that our baby is going to grow up with Shannon and Will's baby. They'll only be about two months apart and I can't wait to tell Shannon because I know she's going to freak out and thank you. Thank you for giving me all of this.
Tiel:Well, fuck. Now I'm crying and I have to teach a class in five minutes
Sam:Sunshine. Don't cry. Please.
Sam:I assure you, I'm the lucky one in this situation.
Sam:Text me as soon as you're finished for the day, and I'll come get you.
Tiel:I mean it, though. Thank you for giving me a family. It's like there's a part of me that was wrecked for a long, long time, and you restored it. You restored me. And I want you to know how much I needed that.
Sam:It goes both ways, my love.
