You come to in the sim room. Your stomach and Brooklyn's stomachs are both erupting from hunger, filling the room with gurgling sounds.

Brooklyn: Damn, I'm hungry.

She grabs her stomach and looks at you.

Brooklyn: What do you want to eat?

You: Whatever we have. I'm not making it because I'm an awful cook.

Brooklyn: Right, yeah, I knew that. I'll figure something out.

You both strip the equipment from yourselves and get to your feet. You stretch, letting your legs and arms pop and move around a little.

Brooklyn: Hey, guess what.

She starts walking from the room.

You: What?

Brooklyn: I have a surprise for you.

You: Oh, I like surprises.

Brooklyn: Come.

You do as your told and follow her into the kitchen, where she starts preparing some food.

Brooklyn: You'll have to wait for it because the two of us need to eat first.

You: You're killing me.

Brooklyn: False. I'm saving your life by feeding you. Be patient.

She readies the food, with you teasing her while she does it.

You: Hey.

Brooklyn: What?

You wait for her to look at you.

Brooklyn: What?

You: You're beautiful.

Brooklyn: Shut up.

You: I mean it.

Brooklyn: I don't know if you've seen me in recent years, but I've lost my beautiful features.

You: Nope.

Brooklyn: Other than my face.

You: I still disagree.

She looks at you for a moment. Studies you.

Brooklyn: You're just trying to rack up as many points tonight as you can.

You: No.

You lean forward.

You: I don't need to tonight.

Brooklyn: Why wouldn't you?

You: I've already got you for the night, why would I need more points?

Brooklyn: So you can spend them after you run out of them later.

You: Pfft, I'm not gonna run out. You're going to give me as many points as I want.

Brooklyn: Are we still talking about points?

You both laugh, and she continues on with her cooking.

Brooklyn: So, I gotta ask how it went.

You: Well, it went alright.

Brooklyn: You're not leaving me, are you?

She turns and looks at you.

You: You know the answer.

Brooklyn: Yes, I do. Just wanted to hear you say it.

You: No. I'm not leaving you.

Brooklyn: Great.

You: She's hurt by us. You know we wanted a kid.
