#6 Bad Parent

Daddies (not as you think)

11:15 am

Taylor: Shawn! What the fuck.

Shawn: I just got on break. Yes?

Taylor: How the hell do I make the baby stop crying?

Shawn: First, stop cursing. Secondly, don't call our child the baby. She has a name.

Taylor: Help me.

Shawn: Help you do what again, sweetheart?

Taylor: Are you trying to make me ask nicely?

Taylor: Because if so...

Taylor: Baby, I need your help. I need you to tell me how to get our beautiful baby girl, Saundra to stop crying.

Shawn: Aw well babe! Sure, would love to!

Shawn: Here's a few things you should always check before you ever contact me.

Shawn: Check her diaper, could be full and bothered. Check her forehead, temperature wise. And lastly, maybe she's hungry. Could never go wrong with a bottle, or pacifier.

Taylor: Oh my god.

Shawn: Hello? Taylor!

Taylor: She fucking barfed on me!

Shawn: Calm down. It's just milk anyways.

Taylor: I'm lactose.

Shawn: No you're not asshole.

Taylor: Look who is cursing now.

Shawn: Stop being a bad parent.

Taylor: I'm a bad parent? You left back to work without even telling me how to raise a child on my own. You already had experience, and didn't share any of it with me.

Shawn: Sorry for calling you that.

Taylor: No, it's alright. I'll just put her in a crib and call Jack Gilinsky because he's amazing with kids, unlike a shit dad like me.

Shawn: Don't bring my ex into this.

Taylor: He's a great person with kids. I'm a shit dad like I've told you.

Shawn: Taylor, don't say that.

Taylor: Too late, you've already said what you needed. I don't think I could take care of a child. And, is it even mine?

Shawn: Of course it is! Why would you say such a thing.

Taylor: Well you've said a lot today.

Taylor: If I'm not home today, you should know that I probably won't come back.

Read it however you want, phone call or text. I was in a dramatic moment, wondering what it works better as.

Writing a full version of this on my short stories too, I love it.
