S5E1: The Start

Morning, Three Months Later
[Nancy and Nathan's house]
*It's been three months. Nancy's alarm clock went off as she threw her hand on top to turn it off. She got out of bed and got dressed. She pulled a size small tank top over her slim body. Everyday, that reminded her that she was no longer pregnant. Her body was back to the way it was before. Nathan groaned and she kissed him on the cheek.*

Nancy: *whispering* I'm going. Bye, love you.

*She left the room and walked past the bedroom that was going to be the twins. Another constant reminder. She hasn't been in that room since. She walked downstairs. Oh, and yeah. By now they had moved houses into their two story mansion. It was modern, and giant. They still lived very close to their friends and the plaza.*

Later
[therapy]
*Nancy sat in a chair across from her therapist, Dr. Schel.

Dr. Schel: You seem better this week.

Nancy: I am.

Dr. Schel: That's good. Progress is good. What did you do this week?

Nancy: Our pictures finally came in. You know, the ones we got framed. Jo came over and helped us hang them.

Dr. Schel: And how long was Jo there for?

Nancy: A while.

Dr. Schel: Good.

Nancy: And I finished my notebook.

Dr. Schel: Do you have it with you?

Nancy: Mhmm.

*Nancy handed her a notebook, with every page filled. Dr. Schel flipped through the book.*

Dr. Schel: This is excellent, Nancy. So much gratitude here.

Nancy: Thank you.

Dr. Schel: Did you have any panic attacks this week?

Nancy: Just one.

Dr. Schel: And did you use the breathing technique I taught you?

Nancy: Mhmm.

Dr. Schel: How did it help?

Nancy: It did help.

Dr. Schel: Good.

Later
[Steven and Nina's apartment]
*Yes, Steven and Nina are still broken up. And yes, they still live together. Nina walked out of her room to see everyone there. She was eight months pregnant, and had a giant belly.*

Nina: Well. I can officially cross off 'getting dressed' as one of the many things I can no longer do. That goes with walking, talking, breathing, sitting, standing-

Jo: I'm sorry it's so hard.

Nina: Yeah, apologies don't help.

*Jo rolled her eyes and decided not to argue back to the scary pregnant lady. Nina sat down and ate chips.*

Nina: I'm so sick of being pregnant! I want this baby out!

Nathan: Have you picked out a name yet?

Steven: Nope.

Nina: Oh what do you know?!

Steven: Well, have we?

Nina: ...No.

*The doorbell rang.*

Jo: That's Tucker.

*Jo answered the door, and they stepped out on his balcony and held hands. Everyone in their friend group already knew about them.*

Jo: This is the only place we can hold hands.

Tucker: I know. We've done a good job of keeping this a secret.
