[jake] “are you sure ian won’t be suspicious when you’re out so late?”

[madison] “oh no, I’m sure he’s glad to have the house to himself tonight. the less he has to see of me, the better, I suppose... besides, I’m a grown woman, I don’t owe him an explanation.”

[jake] “sure, I’m sorry! that’s... well, silly question. anyway, how’s your virgin cosmo?”

[madison] “would be better with some alcohol in it!”

[jake starring at her in slight confusion]

[madison] “ugh, I’m kidding!”

[sims-creations]

[heather] “it’s not that simple, jake! how am I supposed to ever trust you again after this?!”

[jake] “you’re right, trust takes work and needs to be earned...”

[heather] “exactly...?”

[jake] “and so do relationships! noone ever said that overcoming obstacles in a marriage is easy, but if you look at the bigger picture, that being our growing family, it can be done!”

[heather in disbelief] “are you even listening to yourself, jake?! it’s like you’re repeating some washed-up quotes you picked up someone on the internet. you lied! you cheated on me! you got another woman pregnant!”

[jake] “yes, alright... see, accusing me won’t undo my mistakes, heather! to me it seems like you’re not even willing to try at this point and that’s not my understanding of ‘for better or for worse’, mrs. mcgillen!”

[sims-creations]

[heather] “jake... please, get up! I can’t-- I can’t deal with this anymore!”

[jake] “whatever you want, whatever you need, I swear I’ll do it, just tell me! don’t leave me, heather, I beg you! you’re all I ever wanted!”

[heather quietly and being close to crying herself] “it’s not true... that’s not true, jake, and we both know it. you already proved it...”

[jake in tears] “please... believe me!”

[heather] “it’s not me that you truly want to be with, it’s not...”

[sims-creations]

[heather] “you’re kidding, right?! there’s no way I’m letting you see audrey again, she’s been through enough as it is! tell me, how do I explain to a little girl that her mother’s husband is having a baby with another woman and a lying piece of garbage?!”

[jake] “she’s my daughter, too, heather! don’t do this, don’t keep her away from me just because you’re angry with me!”

[heather] “make no mistake here, I am not just angry with you, jake mcgillen, I am through with you! besides, we both know that she is not your daughter. you’re lucky if I let you near the one that’s still growing inside of me!”

[sims-creations]

what heather did not expect was for her husband to literally get on his knees and beg for her forgiveness...

[jake pleading] “please, baby, I still love you like the day you agreed to marry me! all I ever wanted, all I ever wished for was to be a family, to have this baby that you’re still carrying inside you! just tell me what it is that you want me to do, heather! I’ll do anything...” [crying]

[sims-creations]

[heather] “alright, that’s it! I can’t deal with this crap any minute longer!” [heading towards the door]

[jake trying to stop her] “no, heather, don’t! don’t just go, I’m sorry, alright? I swear I’ll-- I’ll do anything to make this right again, but I need you to try, too. I am not willing to give up on our family, but I can’t do this without you!”

‘pathetic’ was the word that kept going through her head as she was trying to pull away from him once again, eager to escape this awful situation. one minute he’s trying to manipulate me into forgiving him, the next he’s back on his knees, hoping to convince me that there’s still hope for us... how could I have ever been so blind to all his faults and clear lack of spine?!

[jake close to tears] “b-but no, heather, you cannot be serious about this! you cannot mean that! my-- our baby--”

oh well, that’s the thing with being a bad bitch, she thought; it only let’s you put on the tough act for so long. when it crumbles, it’s hard to safe face and remain strong. don’t let him see you getting weak, heather, don’t let him get to you!, she kept yelling at herself inside her head, wishing she could just fled the scene and never come back to deal with what was still ahead of them: an ugly, very painful divorce and the birth of their child, which made everything bad so much worse.

[jake] “oh god, I can’t tell you how glad I am to see you! you look well... very well indeed!” [moving in to embrace her]

[heather] “woah, stop right there, jake! we’re not there yet! in fact... I doubt we’ll ever get back to the way it was between us before!”

[jake] “oh, don’t say that, darling! I know, what I did is--”

[heather] “absolutely unforgivable? yes, it is!”
