[keys jingling, front door closing]

Chase, “Thanks for going shopping with me.”
Carleigh, “No problem! It was fun!”

Chase, “You’re lying, but it was nice to have the company.”

Carleigh, “Haha! I thought your boy was visiting?”

Chase, “He is, but he’s spending some time with Edmund for a bit. Shopping together is a little more domestic than I can take right now.”

Carleigh, “That’s fair… Besides, he probably wouldn’t have approved of you threatening that old lady!”

Chase, “Listen. A person can only take so many ‘you’re glowing’ comments before she’s pushed over the edge.”
Carleigh, “Haha!”

Carleigh, “So are you excited to find out boy or girl tomorrow?”

Chase, “Oh… I guess?”

Chase, “I mean, don’t get me wrong. It’ll be nice to know. I’m just dreading the announcement.”
Carleigh, “Aww. It’s gonna be fun and you know it.”

Carleigh, “I bet you’ve been thinking about baby names, though?”
Chase, “Hmm…”

Chase, “A little? It’s just hard to commit to any, y’know?”
Carleigh, “Oh, no way!”

Carleigh, “I’ve had names pinned down since I found out I was pregnant!”
Chase, “Seriously??”

Carleigh, “Oh yeah. I feel a little bad, though. Garrett didn’t really get any say.”

Chase, “Oh…”
Carleigh, “He says he doesn’t mind, but still.”

Fenrys, “Ladies.”
Carleigh, “Hi Fenrys.”

Chase, “I hadn’t even thought to ask Alister about names…”

Chase, “Do you think I should?”
Carleigh, “I would! Maybe he’ll have some–“
Fenrys, “Thamar’s tits, Mat!”

Fenrys, “Woman, why are there so many boxes of pizza rolls?!”

Chase, “You sent two hungry pregnant women to the store. What do you expect?”

Fenrys, “I expect you to come home with actual food, not half of aisle four!”

Chase, “I may be the size of a walrus, but I will still end you.”

Carleigh, “Yeah! We might have to waddle, but watch out for our tusks!”
Chase, “That’s right.”

Fenrys, “Oh please. You two won’t even get up off that couch.”

Chase, “…He’s onto us.”
Carleigh, “Hehe!”
