the dawn and barry have a kid plotline, in a nutshell (aka mel sums up everything she and kris were ranting @ each other earlier today): a possibility? but not 100% confirmed yet, who knows
probably starts sometime in mid/late 20′s? age 26-28?? aka: both of u are now ridiculously good looking grown-ass adults, this is a problem
dawn: star wars is boring. barry: star wars is awesome!! = guess who causes a dumb, very badly planned distraction so she doesn’t have to watch any more star wars one day when she comes over to hang out
a wild baby appears! dawn’s going to leave it now with barry, and just run off to continue doing all the things she does ( hunt ghosties, work for scientists, solve problems ) and totally just abandon all parental duties
barry is the best single dad of all time, and works his butt off and loves this child with sO MUCH PASSION it will break ur heart. even brings this bab to the battle tower where he’s working. battles with baby strapped in a baby backpack to his chest. endearing af. I cry
gotta fine dawn for child support, that flaky bastard
she winds up deeding her villa in the resort area over to him. and visits occasionally. for short periods of time.
when the child is like?? 8? 9? she actually spends a whole year, while rowan has hired her! wroW !! this is insane. having a mom around for so long. and then she takes off again as soon as her contract is up and disappears a while longer.
finally when the child is like, probably 11-12, and she’s 36? 37? 38?? dawn is all “god, what have I done, there is a child out there who is mine and they are being raised by only their father and what the hell have I been doing all this time”
moves back home and decides she gonna take being a mom Seriously
Dawn has to work REALLY HARD to try to earn trust back, even considers (while holding back vomit) s-settling down
if she does, she might actually add 10+ years to her life re: no longer exposing herself to copious amounts of asbestos in abandoned buildings
