We... um. What are we doing?
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Listening to your existential angst make mountains out of mole hills followed by an orbital dynamics 101 class.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
I am a ramblin' man. Wait. Am I in trouble? What did I do? What do we need to talk about?
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
No trouble. But you could work on your social skills more. After all, our family is about to get much bigger soon.
|

Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Ya, Grandma and Grandpa are coming soon. Stronger together and all that. It will be nice.
We're going to bring aquaponics to the whole neighbourhood. Farming fish and vegetables and herbs and fruit and...
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
Aquaponics is a fish farm?
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
It's a whole system - for growing fish and plants.
But you said, "that too". And, "much bigger soon". Does that mean...?
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
So it turns out we're good for an adoption! We're going to have another child - or two.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
That's terrific news! But two? Does this mean twins are a new option?
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Nope. Not that I know of. We can go down and check them out next week. It'd be nice to have it all in place before my folks come.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Siblings? Did we ask for more than one?
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
We didn't ask them for more, but in a way you were asking for it...
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Wait, what? You're pregnant? Pwooow! How mind-blowingly terrific! I wondered what the sudden weight gain was about - now I know we've got about a week to go.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
How come no one asked me? This is more than fishy.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
I can tease now because soon I won't be able to. In half a year you'll... Argh!
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Aye I eye. It's not that bad. Just sudden and startling. My antiquated cochlear implant is acting up. Only when I get excited and do a certain... Argh!
|
|
ERNEST's cochlear implant for his deaf right ear squeaks as the whole side of his face reacts and his right eye winces.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
I mean, I can stop. So - this is so exciting!
|
The camera slowly pulls back to a wide shot by the end of the scene...
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Stop and smell the roses. Get back to roots, get grounded, plant yourself. Re-find the refined. Remember what counts. This is another whole new chapter in our adventure together.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Indeed. Re-find the refined. Nice.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Ernest
Remember what counts - to a stats man? Well, you're half refined and you're half refined, and if I'm refined so that makes 2 of us. Not bad. Still need refinement.
|
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celeste
Template:Bittersweet Seeds: Characters: Celine
No one said you're refined.
