jackselwyn:

It won’t be just your job to tend to Rose, Jack.

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

You’ll have already done so much.

What, like pushing a tiny human out from down there? 

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

It’s the least I can do.

What do you mean?

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

It would make it easier – in the night. I wouldn’t need to leave you to tend to her. She’d likely end up back in our bed, anyway – if she’s fussing.

Who says you’re doing the tending?

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

It would save space.

You wouldn’t mind? Having her in our room with us?

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

In our room.

Oh. Hm. Well -- I don’t know. I had a nursery when I was little. I hadn’t thought of it. 

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

Will Rose stay with us?

In our flat?

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

You can put that green thumb to the test. 

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

We could plant things, I suppose.

Flowers, vegetables. Herbs and things. More flowers. You’ll have to help. 

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

How did you do that thing earlier? Where you – chose what you wanted. How many rooms and stuff. Is there a garden option? Can we only look at the houses that have gardens?

Well, yeah. It’s just a search option -- see? I mean, we could make it only show us ones with gardens but -- we don’t have to. More it’s about somewhere we can afford and with enough space for the baby. For Rose.

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

Would be better if you could look out over it. 

One day we can have that. 

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

– This one has a garden. You’d like that.

Mhm. I would. Lots.

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

Please.

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

Jaaack. Please. You aren’t taking this seriously at all, are you?

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

Where will my piano go?

Well -- I don’t know.

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

They’re all so small.

We’d have to get a bigger loan for anything much larger -- 

[leightonnbradley]

jackselwyn:

It’s boring.

Please?
