Well, That Was Quick

Beetree Household

Eric Walker, 40 / Monica Beetree, 26

May 2021 (Spring)

Eric: Hey baby, we gotta get that spare room cleared out.

Monica was in no mood. She had just gave out 800 dollars to that sleazy landlord just so she could move. She didn't want to think about the extra expense of having her boyfriend's kid live here. 

Monica: For why Eric?

Eric looks at Monica like she had grown another head. They bought this place so they would be closer to his daughter and soon to be born kid. They also got a 2 bedroom house so that Tess could live with them. He was really confused as to what she meant by for what. 

Eric: Seriously? Tess is suppose to be moving in by June. July at the latest. Did you forget?

Monica: *Sigh* No I didn't forget. I-I just don't think that's a good idea right now.

Eric: And why not?

Monica: Because we've only been together for 6 months and I just don't want the responsibility of YOUR kids. They have a mother, let them live there. 

Eric was taken back. She had never brought this up before so why was this a problem now? He couldn't believe he was hearing this. 

Eric: I cannot believe this right now. I've got to go. 

Eric calls the only person who he knows will understand. Even though divorced him and his ex wife had been on really great terms lately. They talked often and he was always there for his babe to be. 

Eric: So, yeah. I literally cannot believe that. Like, when she met me she knew I had a daughter.. Yet she says that? We've been talking about it for months now. Why didn't she say something about it then. You know what? It doesn't even matter because the relationship is done. I will NOT be with somebody who doesn't like my children. 

Nancy sat quietly and listened. She had her own opinions of Monica but she would keep them to herself. That wasn't the kind of friend he needed right now. 

Nancy: So, the question is what are you going to tell our daughter?

Eric: I don't even know Nance. That is the part that breaks my heart. She likes Monica and she wants to live with me but I'm about to be homeless. The worst part about all of this, I feel like I made a mistake. I really thought she was the one. Now look at me, almost 50 and single. I gave my family up for a bitch.

Nancy did everything in her power to hold her laughter in, but in the end the laughter won out. 

Eric: What the hell is so funny? I just poured my heart out to you. 

Nancy: First off, you are no where near 50 you dramatic smuk. Secondly; Soulmates? You are entirely too old to believe in something that fucking stupid. You're having a midlife crisis, sure, but soulmates? You've got to be kidding me. Try being 40 and pregnant and newly divorced. 

Eric starts laughing with her. Damn if his ex wife didn't have a point. 

Eric: Valid points Nance, Valid. 

There conversation was cut short when Nancy's' water broke. 

Nancy: Eric, we have a problem

Eric: It's times like these I wish my name was Huston.

They rushed to the hospital, texting Tess to bring the baby bag.
