The resident Conrad and Gigi post 5x03

I got this. Do I?

It's in the early morning in the Hawkins' home. The sun is just rising, and Conrad is in the kitchen preparing breakfast while Gigi sits in her high chair.*

Conrad: (smiling) "Good morning, bubble! Did you sleep well?"

Gigi: (giggling) "Dada!"

Conrad: (placing a small plate of scrambled eggs in front of her) "Here's your favorite breakfast. Let's eat up, we've got a big day ahead!"

*Gigi grabs a handful of eggs and starts eating messily. Conrad chuckles and grabs a cloth to clean her up.*

*Later in the day, at the park. Conrad is pushing Gigi on the swing while Jake, Bell's stepson, stands nearby.*

Jake: "You're doing great, man. It's not easy, but you're handling it like a pro."

Conrad: (smiling but tired) "Thanks, Jake. Some days are tougher than others, but I wouldn't trade this for anything."

Jake: "Remember, we're all here for you. If you ever need a break or just someone to talk to, don't hesitate to call."

Conrad: "I appreciate that. Really, I do."

*Scene: Evening, Conrad is putting Gigi to bed. He reads her a story from one of Nic's favorite books.*

Conrad: "This was your mommy's favorite story when she was little. She used to read it to me all the time."

The next day

* Conrad at work, talking to Kit about a new patient.*

Kit: "Conrad, I know things have been tough, but you've been doing exceptional work. How are you managing everything?"

Conrad: "It's been a challenge, but I have a great support system. And, honestly, Gigi gives me the strength to keep going."

Kit: "That's good to hear. We're here for you too. If you ever need flexibility, just let us know."

Conrad: "Thank you. It means a lot."

*Conrad, Leela and Devon are discussing Gigi's future over coffee.*

Leela: "Have you thought about daycare or a nanny for Gigi?"

Conrad: "Yeah, I've been looking into some options. It's tough to think about, but I know it's important for her social development."

Devon: "You'll make the right choice. You always do."

Conrad: "I hope so. I just want the best for her."

Later that day

Randolph: (looking around) "Hey, Devon, have you seen Conrad? I haven't seen him in a while."

Devon: (thinking for a moment) "No, I haven't. He was supposed to be around here somewhere."

Randolph: "Let's check the supply closet. Maybe he's grabbing something."

(They walk over to the supply closet and open the door to find Conrad, breathing really heavily)

Devon: "Conrad? What's going on?"

Randolph: (seeing Conrad's condition) "Oh man, Conrad, are you okay?"

Conrad: (breathing heavily) "I... I don't know. I just needed a moment."

Devon: (kneeling beside him) "Take it easy, Conrad. We're here. Just breathe."

Randolph: (putting a hand on his shoulder) "You're not alone, Conrad. We're in this together."

Conrad: (starting to calm down) "Thanks, guys. I just got really overwhelmed."

Devon: "It's okay. We're here for you. Always."

Sure, here's how that scene could unfold:

---

Conrad: (sitting at the dinner table) "Dad, I need to tell you something. I had a panic attack today."

Marshall: (looking concerned) "A panic attack? What happened, son?"

Conrad: "I don't know. I just got really overwhelmed at work. Devon and Randolph found me and helped me calm down."

Marshall: (nodding thoughtfully) "I'm glad they were there for you. You know, it might be a good idea to talk to someone about this. Have you thought about seeing Ms. Taylor? She's a great therapist."

Conrad: (considering) "Ms. Taylor... Yeah, I've heard good things about her. Maybe I should give it a try."

Marshall: "It's worth it, Conrad. There's no shame in getting help. We're all here to support you."

Conrad: (smiling slightly) "Thanks, Dad. I appreciate it."

Marshall: "Anytime, son. We're family, and we stick together."

This scene highlights the supportive relationship between Conrad and his dad, Marshall, and introduces the idea of seeking professional help in a caring and understanding way.
