mc being jealous towards bobby?

*cracks my knuckles* *cracks my wrist* *cracks my anterior longtitudinal I*  *cracks every bone in my body because we’re going to get PHYSICAL here* 

Upon hearing what she heard in the mean tweets challenge, MC felt the familiar claws of jealousy tapping at her heart.

She watches him from a distance as he happily bakes cupcakes for Lottie. She approached them and he explains to her briefly that Lottie was upset so of course he was kind enough to bake her cupcakes. 

She smiles and supports Lottie as she knew that her friend was hurting 

And honestly, Bobby is so sweet and caring and loving to cheer her up 

Unlike her, who spends her time doubting and angry that he was a good friend. 

She should try to be more like Bobby, who goes out of his way to make cheer people up. She takes a good look at the cupcakes and they look so delicious. 

She was offended when Lottie frowned at them and basically rejected his offer (wtf who would reject such a kind gesture). She was about to tell him how she’d gladly eat those cupca---oop, there he goes chasing after her. 

It stung.

It really did and she was left reeling. A few seconds later she realizes how ridiculous it was that she felt so strongly about what just happened. 

Man, she met Bobby a week ago on a godforsaken tv show. 

She’s known classmates for a whole semester and never talked to them once. He’s practically a stranger.

And yet, she’s shaken to the core at how she feels about him. 

He’ll destroy her. Without him ever even knowing he did. 

So she distances herself, ever so subtly. Not enough to notice. 

And he doesn’t notice. Honestly, he seems ok with whatever she does. Even encourages her to graft on other people. 

If that doesn’t spell “not that into you, babe” she doesn’t know what does. 

Honestly, she was a little thankful when Lucas picked her during the disaster recoupling. If only to see the way he was affected. 

Lucas’ odd attachment to her was new. He would hover over her, hands on her back, fingers entwined, a look in his eye that tells everyone around them, “mine.”

And then Casa Amor happened and what a fool she must have looked like on national telly 

Coming back to the villa expecting Lucas to couple up with that girl so her and Bobby could be single. together.

She didn’t even care about the whole jealousy shit it was silly of her she just misses him so much she aches inside

Only for him to direct the little disappointment he felt towards Marisol of all people.

And he had the audacity to invite Lottie to share a bed with him like she didn’t even exist. 

She’s had it. 

She didn’t see this but Bobby was actually observing her during the whole bed-sharing scene. He wanted to gauge her reaction. 

Her storming off was the sign he needed. 

Letting Lottie take the bed and following her to the roof terrace. 

He found her curled around one of the throw pillows, face buried into it, fingers clutching it he was afraid she’d puncture the fabric

“Lass...” he didn’t know much guilt he felt until he heard how weak his voice sounded. 

She was silent for a moment. Not looking up. Until finally she did and his heart lurched to his throat. 

“I’m done with this, Bobby.” 

Fear. Gut-wrenching fear. The kind of fear that seizes and halts all your bodily functions. That’s what he felt. 

“I’d like to think of myself as a fairly reasonable person so when I get these feelings of irrational jealousy I just want to fucking rip my own lungs out. And i know it’s not your fault, you’re just being a good friend, and at the end of the day, it’s me and my own insecurities that kill me. I hate feeling like this. I hate feeling like a jerk. I hate that I feel so connected to you that I want to keep you all to myself when in truth you have so much love in your heart to give to everyone around you. And I feel like I’m suffocating you and for godsake I met you two weeks ago on a goddamned tv show! You’re practically a stranger and that just makes my feelings all the more fucked up and irrational and I’m just done hating myself, Bobby.” 

He did it. He did the exact opposite of what he wanted. 

“I can’t love you the way you deserve to be loved.” she said, looking into his eyes for the first time since she bid him farewell. 

Guilt. The kind that makes your knees quake. He felt guilt because she was so utterly wrong. He’s not a good person. His actions were deliberate. He deliberately did good deeds for others just to see how she’d react. He deliberately refused to deny the player tweet. He deliberately kept his distance in the relationship, masking his growing feelings with casual playfulness. He deliberately chose to ignore her after casa amor and invited Lottie instead to share a bed with him. He deliberately treated her like everyone else so that it wouldn’t be so apparent how he was spiralling deeper into his feelings for her. And he hated how deeply and quickly he was falling and it’s just like before when he was burned and he never wants to be in that place again. So he deliberately manipulated her into chasing after him. 

He manipulated her. And she was having none of it now. 

Regret. Pure and unfiltered regret. So much so, he felt like throwing up. 

He didn’t know how he ended up curled around her whispering his apologies over and over and over again but he was. 

He apologised over and over and over again until he felt her soft kisses peppering his face. 

That night, they learned the meaning of the word vulnerability. 

And how it was essential to a relationship in order to build trust. They had to be vulnerable enough to love each other the way they deserved. 

Rest assured, Bobby spent the rest of his days assuring her exactly how he feels. 

Which is deep, unencumbered, trusting love. 

I hurt myself writing this. Now I have to wake up with puffy eyes. This turned out to be longer than I expected, man.

BobbyXNoah Headcanons

I could go on and on for hours but after working late this is all my brain got:

They have very different tastes in movies. Bobby always jokes that “Noah likes movies where nothing happens and you feel inadequate after, and I like actual good movies.” In reality, Bobby loves anything lighthearted- rom coms, dramas, animated, family- and Noah likes psychological thrillers and art house films. I think in their house they have a Friday night tradition where they pick up food and have a movie night, switching off who gets to pick. Noah’s favorite movie is something like Hereditary, and Bobby’s favorite is an old rom com like The Decoy Bride. Noah made Bobby watch the Lighthouse with him and Bobby legitimately threw up in his mouth and had to leave the room.

Noah doesn’t use social media much if at all, but Bobby has a super active instagram and twitter. Bobby doesn’t usually turn out looks (come on, 29 year old lesbian looking motherfucker), but when he’s really feeling himself he’ll do an OOTD post. Guess who has to take the pictures? For his part, Noah doesn’t mind, and he gives good directions like ‘move into the light this way’ and ‘try this pose’. Just thinking about Noah being an instagram boyfriend for Bobby has me 🥰🥰🥰 Noah doesn’t post pictures of himself online, but Bobby’s instagram is full of candids of Noah being cute and domestic.

Noah becomes a lot more into PDA when he’s with Bobby because a) he loves him so so SO much and b) Noah assumes that because they’re mlm people won’t know they’re romantic, so he always is holding Bobby’s hand in public. Bobby does not mind one bit.

They’re both vers, so there’s not a distinct top or bottom role. It depends on the setting and how they’re both feeling. Bobby will happily top Noah, but also get all flushed if Noah commands him to do something. 

They can’t really agree on a pet and they’re both out of the house 7-6 every day so it doesn’t feel right to get one. That is until one day Noah is in bed and realizes?? There’s a cat sitting on the bookshelf???? Honey did we get a cat????? It crawled through the window and now it’s our cat. They don’t name her at first because Noah insists they can’t keep her, so Bobby just keeps calling her “little lady” and “baby face” and “princess”. Lady sticks, and after months of Noah still saying ‘we have to find her owner’, Bobby creates a powerpoint presentation and sits Noah down. He says "this is very important" and clicks to the next slide which has a huge photo of the cat licking peanut butter off a spoon. The presentation is just things like ‘I love her’ and ‘look at that face’ with photos of Lady, but Noah is thoroughly convinced. And just very smitten with his boyfriend. They keep her.

There’s a competition for who will propose first. Bobby’s super anxious about it because he wants to be the one to do it but he has to wait for the right moment, and Noah teases him “not if I get to it first… I’m not so picky and where or when.” They go back and forth for a few months, Noah psyching Bobby out before every day night. Bobby finally puts an end to it and drives to the library at like… 1pm… and just finds Noah restocking the shelf and gets down on one knee. Noah of course says yes. It becomes a running joke, though, whenever they’re in a pretty place or together, that Bobby will say “maybe this is where we would’ve gotten engaged if you weren’t so stupid about it.” And then they kiss.

In general they have a lot of running jokes. Noah never forgets anything and loves peppering in references when the timing is just right, and Bobby loves beating jokes to death. They have lots of little things, like keywords that trigger a joke or weird rituals they do when something happens. A lot of ‘when we hear police sirens both of us accuse the other of finally getting caught with progressively more outrageous crimes’. Kind of like they quote vines at each other, but the vines are inside jokes and phrases.

Noah’s a lot less confident in his bisexuality than Bobby is. If they ever go to pride, Noah is super withdrawn and uncomfortable. The one time Bobby confronts him about it, Noah says “like I’m not… I don’t belong here- I’m just pretending or whatever” and Bobby has to be like “babe, you’re engaged to a man, unless there’s something I don’t know about…” Noah just always assumed he’d end up with a woman, so Bobby is a nice surprise that he has to work through mentally.

Their wedding is *chefs kiss* SO tasteful. I’m thinking it’s pretty small, just immediate family and closest friends, but they both worked so hard on the theming and decorations that it’s so beautiful. 

When they buy a house, they both have very different focuses. Noah wants to paint the outside and work on landscaping, Bobby wants to focus on making the inside as comfortable as possible and filling it with meaningful knick knacks. They bump heads over the budget a bit, but always seem to find a compromise and time to make out.

I don't see them properly fighting. Noah will just stew on things he's upset about, and Bobby's very attuned to how Noah's feeling. So things don't tend to blow up because Bobby catches them early and asks Noah directly what's wrong. They can usually have pretty calm and reasonable discussions. If there's something that gets them heated, Bobby always diffuses it with a joke and gives in.

Noah is a lot more health conscious than Bobby is, and he starts forcing Bobby to be healthier. Bobby finally gives up smoking at Noah’s insistence, and Noah forces him to actually do things like annual check ups and going to the dentist. 

Of course they adopt kids. Just of course. Both of them are amazing and supportive parents in their own right, and their children will grow up so loved and doted on. Noah’s actually really bad at disciplining them, he gives in really easy, so Bobby’s usually the one who has to enforce rules. Noah’s the parent the kids will go to when they need to talk about hard stuff, and Bobby will go to the end of the earth for them. Picture them standing at the bus stop with their kiddo, Noah’s wearing their backpack and Bobby’s holding their hand. Noah’s on the PTA (Bobby’s too busy and gets too heated), so he reports back to Bobby and they gossip together over a glass of wine when the kids are in bed.

I would like to see the filipino MC headcanons 👀

@radiantdae and I were just talking about this last night and we we came up with so much shit so its so GOOD to finally put it here. I just put Bobby for now because he’s demanding to be written down and just wont shut up in my head but i have some for Lucas and Noah too so like if y’all are still interested im here

Bobby 

Was practically jumping all over the place when he heard that MC was introducing him to her extended family 

He had this huge grin on his face the entire time he was there at her family reunion in the Philippines

This first thing she taught him was mano po (a practice of putting an elder persons’ hand to your forehead as a sign of respect)

For someone who barely understood jackshit of what was happening, he was getting along with everyone (???) 

He was even talking to her grandma’s 2nd cousin like they’ve known each other for ages? 

“Ay! Kapogi naman!” (Oh! He’s so handsome!) They lap him up in compliments and wow does he l o v e the affection he gets

“Tita!” he yelled, “how’d you make this? You gotta teach me your recipe!” 

Did he just call her aunt, Tita (Tagalog for aunt) for godsake

“Of course! Lika dito! (come here) You’re practically family already! You should know all of our recipes!” 

Bobby then discovered the world of Filipino pastries. 

He BUYS every single local pastry he finds. Visits her local bakery. Asks everyone how they make it. MC was just going to buy her morning pandesal when he’s suddenly GONE??? and she realizes that he was let in by the panadero to WATCH THE PROCESS?? 

He emerges from the bakery with a newfound sense of joy. The baker calls him “Anak” (son) and MCi is no longer shocked of course

He had this almost mad flurry to learn every pastry he can get his hands on. He knows how to make pandesal, puto, bibingka, ensaymada, and even some pastries she’s never heard of??? 

He hugs her from behind and feeds her a fresh pandesal he just baked and she nearly tears up from the nostalgia. It almost feels like she’s 5 years old again and her homesickness is gone. 

“It tastes just like home, Bobby.” He smiles at this. “Exactly. That’s why I learned it.” 

She learned Bobby is a scary quick learner. He points to random things around the house in Tagalog. 

Points to utensils, “Kubyertos.” and he has this smug ass look on his face and she rolls her eyes playfully “Yes, Bobby.” Points to a window “Bintana.” Points to plants, “Halaman” 

Points to her “Maganda (beautiful)” Points to himself, “Pogi! (handsome)” 

When she asked him, she learned that he was talking to her 12-year-old niece who was all too eager to teach him in exchange for baked goods 

Speaking of little ones, they practically FLOCK to him

“Did you know that Junjun just called me the best tito (uncle) ever?!” 

He knows every single one of them by name (tf even she couldn’t exactly recall her grand uncle’s third grandson but Bobby can??) 

I have tons more but I feel embarrassed now so like hit me up so we can go ballistic over this. And if you guys wanna see Lucas and Noah just tell me hehe

[widdlefangs]

Self prompt: Bobby’s thoughts when Lurik enters the villa and they both take MC on a date.

This is fine. Two new boys! So cool! Awesome! Haha! 

When he saw MC hanging back from the stampede, he didn’t know why he didn’t feel relieved. 

He was especially uncomfortable when he saw the two eyeing MC 

But hehey! Two new boys! Plaster on that grin, Bobbo! You’re completely okay! It’s not like you’re falling way too fast for MC. You met her five days ago! It definitely doesn’t feel like she’s the only one you could fall for here!

She received a text telling her that she’s going on a date with Henrik. 

That’s completely ok! She’s not yours to begin with, Bobby! You have absolutely no right or claim to her whatsoever! For all you know, she could simply be tolerating your presence! 

His brain was going haywire. This is exactly what he was trying to avoid on this show. 

Pranks! Mask that insecurity with pranks! 

Pranks! Yeah! He should switch Rocco’s and Henrik’s trousers! That makes sense even if they immediately find out that the trousers aren’t theirs and would probably switch back and dismiss it as a mistake by the staff. 

When MC returns, he absentmindedly jogs to her because even if she was only gone for an hour he feels the need to be close to her. Oh shit, is she smiling? Did she have a great time? 

Quick! Make it look like you’re completely unaffected! Don’t let her see that you’re so desperate for her attention! Grin! 

“Did I miss anything while I was away?” 

Nothing much, just me desperately hoping you’d stay with my sorry ass but honestly if I were you, I wouldn’t stick around. HEY OH HEY PRANKS!! 

“Aren’t you a little bit interested in, like, how the date went or something like that?” she said, looking down. If he squints, he thinks it might even look like disappointment. 

Holy fuck, could it be that she’s disappointed in him being unaffec-

She’s only asking to check if you’re ok with her pieing you off for Henrik and you SHOULD be totally ok with that! You coupled up yesterday! Don’t put pressure on her to stay with you.

“Not right now! Time is of the essence! Come on!”

Look at you, Bobby! So fun and carefree! No trouble in the world! Everything is fun and cool and happy!

She receives another text asking her to go on another date with Lucas and he just deflates. It’s fucking hopeless. “Wow! Go, you!”

That’s right, wow go you indeed, Bobby. 

She refuses to go to the second date and he felt relief wash over him. She was just about to decline the text--

Encourage her!! She’s too nice to accept right in front of you! Just to see if she really wants to stay with you! If she wants to stay with you, she’ll reject the date even when you insist. 

“You serious? You should go!” he blabbed.  For the first time, she frowned at him. 

“Bobby. We’re coupled up. You shouldn’t be encouraging me to go on dates with other boys.”

P A N I K. 

Think of something! She’s blowing our cover! Quick!! Think of something sweet!! Anything!!

“Well, just going on a date with a bloke doesn’t mean you’re going to immediately fall deeply in love and forget about me, right?“ 

Nice save! I’d believe that if that was told to me. Now, let’s see if she bites. 

“This is great! I can’t believe I get to go on two dates with them! Just gonna go check my make up before I go!”

She leaves before he could even say good bye.

Good job, Bobby. Now you did the exact opposite of what you wanted to accomplish.  

lmao guess who went on yet ANOTHER playthrough trying to romance anyone else BUT Bobby. But really, I was so turned off when he did this. It really felt like Bobby was pushing MC away. 

[hopeshoodie]

Have you seen that twitter that a guy post a pics of the food he's made (and it looks amazing) and he captions it like "hope my future woman likes my cooking" and a guy replies with "Bitch I'll be your future woman"? Well that but Bobby x Noah (minus the bitch because I can't imagine Noah saying bitch while sober/not joking/quoting something ?) also I want to imagine that Noah cooks great meals

Just in general I need more Bobby/Noah content in my life, so I made this

.

I love the idea that Noah types online like a total Gen X’er. Like I know litg didn’t show him as super technologically illiterate, but I like that headcanon too much.

Also Noah absolutely can cook an amazing meal, but I feel like he’s much less inventive than Bobby. For Bobby it’s all about experimenting and learning. Noah more just re-makes the same 10 recipes he learned from his mom, but they always come out super well.

[hopeshoodie]

I’m coming to you to say this because you keep it real, but how do actually think it’s like dating Bobby? Everyone talks about the good parts and how he’s so amazing but no relationship is perfect right?

Disclaimer: this is purely based on my own personality, experiences, and headcanons. It’s okay if it conflicts with your version of Bobby. 

So I have a list of what I see as pros and cons of dating Bobby here, but I like this question asking about how it feels to date Bobby.

For me, dating Bobby would be like the holidays that my parents took me on as a kid. I was generally excited for them, but had no control over what we did and quickly felt overwhelmed. We were ~poor~ growing up, so whenever we went on vacation my parents packed as many activities and places into a day as possible, which left me feeling drained and overwhelmed. Surprise, the autistic kid didn’t enjoy a complete interruption of routine and completely new surroundings she couldn’t control.

I tell you that because that what dating Bobby’s like. You get so overwhelmed so fast, and suddenly he’s everything- the ‘outside world’ doesn’t matter as much as your relationship does. You lose track of time/goals/needs because his affection is so intense. But then when it ends, as it inevitably would for someone like me dating someone like him, it leaves you feeling exhausted. Like your relationship became your entire identity became the relationship and now that it’s over you’re just empty. 

For his part, I think the ‘bad’ elements of Bobby in a relationship (which balance out the good of him being incredibly attentive, affectionate, and doting) are:

He constantly checks in and doesn’t know how to cope with a distant girlfriend. He’s very attention-seeking, and doesn’t know how to reconcile that with her not always being available- he’ll text her a ton if she’s at school/with friends and distract her, if they’re out with parents/bosses/friends he’ll interrupt to do jokes or pranks that may not be well received, he’ll feel really hurt if she’s ignoring him to work on something.

He doesn’t know how to set proper boundaries and takes his girlfriend doing so as a personal attack. Things like “please don’t use my things without asking” or “call me before you come over” are really hard for him because he feels like if you loved him you’d let him do whatever. Not in a bad way of course, he’d never take advantage of it, he just never considers how doing things like taking your clothes or talking to your family without you knowing are overbearing.

He’s really bad at resolving conflict because he tends to laugh things off/not give them the weight they need to resolve it. @deuchess just posted an amazing post about this, but if MC and he have an issue Bobby will let it fester long before addressing it. He gets over things quickly, so if MC is genuinely upset about something he’ll underestimate the importance of it and then be surprised when that’s frustrating. 

If you ever have to take a break/break up with him, he’ll make it a messy breakup for sure. He feels really intensely, so there isn’t going to be a ‘gradual growing apart culminating in a mutual breakup’. He’s going to cry, he’s going to rant about you online, he’s going to post snapchats of him scream-singing to breakup songs and burning photos. He’s not going to get over it for a long time. But if you get back together/the break ends, he’ll act like nothing happened (which for me is hard to get past. You were raging that you would never be a whole person and now you’re fine?)

[hopeshoodie]

How insecure is Bobby?? Like what makes him insecure?

Bobby is SO insecure, in both canon and subtext. The writers made it clear that he’s been cheated on before, so he’s really cautious, but a not-insecure person wouldn’t encourage the girl he’s dating to try to tempt another guy vis a vie Operation Nope.

Bobby’s insecure about:

His appearance (which is why he fixates on having nice hands, because he feels like he can’t compete with the other guys. Also I headcanon him to be a Short King at 5′4 or 5′5 and he hasn’t learned to cope with that yet)

His relationship with MC and the other girls (which is why he constantly decides they’re just friends, it’s safer)

If people think he’s annoying (which makes him overcompensate with things like trying to come up with jokes ahead of time and doing constant pranks)

If people think he’s not actually funny 

If (when MC and he are finally romantic) she’s cheating on him or waiting for a better person to come along

If the villa in general would care if he left (which is why he’s always doing nice things for everyone and trying to create inside jokes)

Bobby just has really low self-worth and masks it with a really upbeat and jokey personality. So jokes or comments about any of the above or someone pointing out he puts on a facade cut him super deeply. 

[hopeshoodie]

When do you think/ how do you think the Kids Conversation™ goes? I'm mostly curious about Noah, but do you have hc for the others too? Also I replayed s1 to end up with Jake and in the fucking christmas party the gane told me I was with Levi, LEVI! Yikes

Big yikes babe. From what I’ve heard, that glitch is pretty common. Thankfully I never got it because I always finish with my girl Talia💖🥰😍

Bobby: If MC tries to sit down with him and have a big discussion, Bobby would be surprised she feels it needs to be so formal and be like “well yeah, of course I want to give you a baby.” He doesn’t mind putting it off/timing it right, because those are all details. He just wants to have a family with MC, doesn’t much mind how it happens. He’s a lot less stressed about the details of career/finances, and always says “no one feels ready. When it happens we’ll make it work.”

Carl: Carl will be surprised at the suggestion, and tease MC about being a housewife, but will readily agree to it to make her happy. He’s not opposed to kids, per se, especially because he’s not home super often. He always kind of assumed he’d have kids, so it seems like a natural next step. 

Gary: I know I always paint Gary as a clueless simp, but this is the funniest thing: I think Gary’s catholic, so he doesn’t believe in protection once they’re married. MC doesn’t mind and they stop using condoms around the time he proposes, but she gets an implant/IUD. So after they’re married, maybe like a few months after, MC broaches the topic of “do you want to start a family”. Gary responds of course, and MC says, “ok, well I’ll get off birth control and we’ll have to start timing it out.” And Gary’s like???? “Babe we don’t use birth control. What do you mean timing it out?” MC’s confused, and Gary explains that he’s been trying to knock her up since they got engaged. Once she explains that wasn’t possible, Gary’s absolutely shocked and a little offended they didn’t talk about it. But I just think the idea of Gary being like “??? … Um yeah I want to have a kid, but it hasn’t happened yet. When God wills it-” and MC being like 😐😐😐 “yeah… Um… So the reason it hasn’t happened yet is….”

Henrik: MC brings it up over dinner, randomly blurting out “I want to have a baby.” and Henrik is like “Oh. You... You wanted to do that… Like now?” MC laughs and says not right now, but soon. “I want to start a family with you. Henrik nods and says “dope.” MC gasps a little bit and is like “Dope?! That’s all you can say?!”, and Henrik grins, “Yeah, of course I want to have a couple of kids with you. Just… What’s changed now?” MC thinks for a bit, they’d been married for a year and a half now and it wasn’t like their finances were more in order with Henrik freelancing and MC being a charity worker. “I don’t know, I just feel ready.” Henrik nods and holds up his glass, “to the next great adventure, then.” 

Lucas: Lucas does not want to have this conversation and will change the subject/refuse to talk about it unless cornered. He’s loathe to talk about his trauma of being neglected as a child, and refuses to call it trauma, and he’s terrified of doing that to another kid. The only way you’re having a kid with Lucas is if it’s an accident. 

Marisol: If  MC wants kids when they first get married, Marisol’s really flippant about it. Absolutely not- both of their careers are too new and they don’t have the funds or time for a baby. She thinks MC’s  insane for even asking, and absolutely will not seriously have that conversation. But like 15-20 years later? When they’re both in their forties? I know I’d go to her and say, “listen. We’re both in a really good place financially, and I want to share that. I’ve wanted to be a mom for awhile now, and we’re finally in a place where we can do that. Maybe a baby isn’t right for us, but we could foster? I’d want you to also be mom, but if you can’t be home any more than you are right now, that’s fine. I want to make this work.” After a really long talk about their futures and what they want to do, Marisol agrees- it’s much easier for her to conceptualize an older child in need as opposed to a baby. They look into foster-to-adopt programs, and maybe they foster a kiddo who’s around 8 years old. They fall in love with her, but adopting falls through as the kid’s mom gets out of prison and earns back custody. As they’re looking into just adopting (because they can’t take that heartbreak again), they meet a 15 year old who’s in fostercare and agree to take them in. The teenager definitely has a lot of behavioral/mental problems, but they pour their hearts into helping him and end up adopting him a few months before his 18th birthday. They go on to adopt several more kids who are close to aging out and make their home a refuge. A bunch of their kids are able to go to college, and their family christmas parties are amazing. Sorry, I got really carried away in this fantasy I want this so much oml.

Noah: With Noah, it’s not really one conversation. As time goes on he and MC have a lot of really open communication about the future. If Noah’s considering moving positions, when MC goes to a physical and considers replacing her IUD, definitely when they were buying their house. I think a lot of it is “I really want to have a family but right now is not a good time in my career/financial life/social life”. It’s probably a year or so into the marriage, when they’ve settled into their house and been dating for 2 years before that, where MC sits him down and says “let’s talk.” He raises his eyebrows and nods, “should I make some tea?”. MC laughs and kisses him, “it’s not that kind of conversation, love.” She has to take some deep breaths before she says, “I want to start our family.” He takes a really shaky breath and laughs, “You got me really worked up.” “So what do you think?” “What do I think?” He’s stretching his arms and exhaling loudly. He shakes his head and brushes at the tears in his eyes and then he gets up to hug you. “Of course. Of course. Nothing would make me happier. I love you so much. Come here.” 

Rocco: Lol. You’re trying to have kids with Rocco? Do not. Don’t get me wrong, he could be a good dad in like 10 years, but he’s way too focused on himself right now. Having kids with Rocco at this stage would result in him abandoning yall and then showing up 5-10 years later feeling bad and wanting to reconnect. The baby conversation would start with him being surprised, and then end with him being creepily excited about getting to raw you. 0/10.
