through the dark

"I used to think that I set a fire in your eyes but I've learned that was just the reflection of the one you set in mine."

They’re letting you keep it here?

[the-haunted-princess]

I don't really have much of a choice. My parents don't wanna see me anymore and my boyfriend and me are both still part of this program. There's no place to go.

[jaxvance]

Think they’d let me have a dog?

[the-haunted-princess]

If I can have a baby, you should be allowed to have a dog.

i need someone who understands not someone who looks at me like im hurt

I think she’ll hate us if we name here mini cupcake.

You shouldn’t think of yourself as boring for being able to give her stability. I’m unstable because my head fucks with me. I wouldn’t be good for her if it were just me. She would be in better hands with you because you’d be stable and have the patience for her on your own.

[the-haunted-princess]

My parents called me Princess, Mini cupcake is cooler.

No, but I've been boring all my life- well, apart from the thing where I got knocked up at seventeen. I know it's difficult for you with the stuff going on inside your head, but you're strong enough to stay with us, I know that you love her just as much as I do.

[vanessa-notfrom-cleveland-blog]

It’s all in how you raise her. if you raise her cruelly, well… I’ve seen ever some people who were treated horribly love their parents. The bond between the two of you is one that’s hard to abuse. Love her and she will love you right back.

[the-haunted-princess]

I know that. I can't stop loving my parents, no matter what they did and even if they don't want me in their lives again. I just want to be better for her and I'm gonna do everything to be better for her, I just think it's hard to offer her what she deserves if you're in a situation like mine.

She shook her head. “No. Singing to a baby is the best prenatal brain exercise for the baby. It stimulates her brain function. If anything, your baby has more chances of being a smart. Unless maybe if it’s like, heavy metal.”

[the-haunted-princess]

"Really?", she raised her eyebrows, a smile forming on her lips. "I'm not much of a heavy metal fan, so I guess I don't have to worry all that much."

[nervous-nora]

N-noooo she’s jus-just gonna b-be full of pep-peppy c-cheer

[the-haunted-princess]

You think so? I hope so. She kicks a lot, whenever I play her great songs.

[blake--newman]

I’m best friends with him, I’d kill for that guy. He is into babies, it’s a shame he can’t have any, but I’m gonna see about getting him a cat.

[the-haunted-princess]

Wow, that's love. Cats are lovely and fluffy, they're also crying a lot less than babies do. It's weird to see someone his age being that excited over babies.

[headcheerleaderquinn]

[dex-finch]

It is. What are we going to name her?

It’s true. I know. It only makes sense that you would take her should I decide to leave. She would probably be in better hands with you.I’ll be the best father I can be, though.

[the-haunted-princess]

Isn't that obvious? Mini cupcake.

It's not because she'd be in better hands, I mean I know as much about parenting as you. But she's gonna need stability and I'm boring enough to offer that.

[dex-finch]

I love you you, too.

I know. I won’t leave you guys, though. I can’t do that.

[the-haunted-princess]

You and our mini cupcake. Yes, it's a thing now.

I love you and I trust you, but I wanted you to know how things are, because we both have to be honest with each other. 

[dex-finch]

She’ll just be a mini cupcake.

No, I know. I’m not going to do that. I’ll accept the responsibility. I just ask for patience sometimes. I’ll need it, but so will you.

[the-haunted-princess]

A mini cupcake? God, I love you.

Patience is not the matter, it's part of the deal. The thing is, if you wake up one day and change your mind and you don't want to be a dad anymore, I just want you to know- then you're going to leave us, because I'm not gonna leave her once I've got her. 

[dex-finch]

I’m glad. She’ll be our little punk rock queen, but she’ll also be a cupcake like her momma. Good, I’m glad you are. I’m glad I’m feeling better about it. I’m glad we are, too.

[the-haunted-princess]

Well, but daddy is a cupcake, too. So, she doesn't really have a choice, right? 

No but in all seriousness, we made this decision now. I know that you're gonna get sad and that's okay, but- but you're not allowed to change your mind again about this. I'm not gonna give her away once we've got her. 

[vanessa-notfrom-cleveland-blog]

You’ll miss it. When she’s no longer there you’ll miss her kicking, her little reminders. I used to think it was just her saying hi, you know? I’ll tell you what… No matter who I’ve met or encountered, if the mother was not scared then she was not a woman to be trusted.

[the-haunted-princess]

Look, that's one of the things I'm scared about. Now she's inside me but what if she comes out and she doesn't like me? My parents didn't like me very much and what if she feels the same way?

[dex-finch]

They won’t be sharp. We’ll be your little punk rockers. I’m not so little, but you know what I mean. We’ll love the flower crowns though…I know a couple months ago I wasn’t being so positive about all of this, but I’m feeling pretty excited for her.

[the-haunted-princess]

You've always been my little punk rocker, Dexy- no matter how tall you actually are. And she'll be a little punk rock queen. I'm glad that you are feeling better about it now...I'm really glad that we're gonna keep her.

[dex-finch]

No, she’ll just have cook hair and wear leather jackets and have spikes on them. She’ll be cool, but our little sweetie. Fine.

[the-haunted-princess]

Spikes are dangerous, Dexter- she could lose an eye or cut her little fingers on them. I can live with the rest, though. You two can run around in your leather jackets, while I'm making flowercrowns for you or something.

[dex-finch]

No, my baby is going to be a little punk rocker. We’ll both sing you those songs in a grumpy way because we love you.

[the-haunted-princess]

But punk rockers are swearing a lot and leaving their dirty clothes everywhere and I'm not gonna clean after you two all day. But fine, if I'm getting a boyfriend/daughter version of What Makes You Beautiful, I'm happy.
