Delphine is laying on the couch with her body spread out. She switches through the channels, before placing her laptop on her lap and researching work topics. She turns off the tv so she can focus, but tries to tune into a conversation happening in their office.

(Italics-Sarah speaking)
Cosima is sitting on the computer chair, typing away furiously on the keyboard. She is on the phone with Sarah.
"Sarah there's nothing I can do about that, I'm trying, but I'm running out of options."

"I'm not giving up and neither should you."

"I just, I don't know."

"Is there anything I can do to help? Alison said something about her having extra money, could that help?"

"Money can't help with this."

"Does Delphine know?"

"No I can't tell her or anyone associated with her. She's pregnant Sarah."

"Oh shit. Well-"

The door opens and Delphine steps inside. Cosima closes the tabs on the computer and stops Sarah in the middle of her sentence.

"Hey I have to go, I'll call you later."
Then hangs up the phone.

Cosima looks up and smiles at Delphine.

"Hey pretty lady, how are you feeling?"

"Better thank you, who were you talking to?"

"Just Sarah, she had something to discuss with me."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah everything is fine babe."
Cosima smiles and motions for Delphine to come over to her before pecking her lips.

Delphine bites her lip before going outside to make some dinner. Delphine leans on the counter with her head buried in her hands as she lets out a huge sigh. The timer for the oven goes off making her jump a little, she gets the chicken out and places it on the counter. She calls Cosima to come eat, and sets the table with two full plates.

They eat dinner as usual with laughter and playful conversations. After cleaning up the mess from dinner, they both decide on a movie night.

Cosima pops in a movie and sits on the couch next to her fiancé, wrapping her arm around her and pulling her in close. By the time the movie is over they are both sound asleep, with the credits rolling being the only sound.
