Four months comes and goes and soon enough Rich gets a call from Brooke.
"Morning, Brooke, care to tell why you're calling at FOUR in the GODDAMN-" that wakes Jake up for certain.
"IT'S YOUR BABY, GORANSKI, JESUS CHRIST."
"It is??? Jake, get up!! We gotta go, the baby's coming!"
"Wha- okay????" They get up hurriedly to get dressed and Jake tiredly rushes them to the hospital. They meet Brooke in the waiting room.
"So??"
"Not yet. Her water broke, but not much is happening. "
"Are we aloud in?" Jake is still soooo tired. That was the first night in like 2 weeks he could've gotten a good night of sleep.
"Yep. Come with me, boys." They follow her in, Rich rushing to her side much faster than Jake.
"How ya doin, Chlo, how ya feelin, need anything??" He's anxious as fuck.
"I'm fine Rich. Just.... waiting at this point." Rich sighs in relief.
"Okay. Cool."
"But it could happen any minute." She's a little scared. "Unfortunately, when I am giving birth, Rich is the only one aloud in here...."
"I complained, but there's nothing we can do."
"Shit..."
"It's alright Rich." Jake sets a hand on his shoulder. "We'll be just right outside."
"It'll feel like you're a million worlds away when she's screaming and I'm stuck here being terrified."
"Just be there for her and we'll be in as soon as it's done."
("Wow a lot has happened since you shut me out.") the evil Kermit appears next to him.
"Mhm." He's suddenly staring off. ("Fuck. Off.")
("Well it's nice to see you too")
("I don't want you. I don't NEED you. Fuck off.")
("Oh but you do. See you know it, and I know it. You're never gonna get through this birth without me.") he walks to Jake.
("Or without him") he sets a hand on Jake. Jake's attention is just focused on Chloe. Rich takes a breath.
("I'll be fine. He's a baby, not a bomb. It'll be fine.")
("But you're gonna panic. You're gonna need someone to help YOU get through it. You're gonna need Jake and he's not gonna be there. So you're second option, me. I WILL be here. And I know what your thinking. "Why would you want KERMIT to help you?" You know you ARE able to change my form. I can be Jake if you like.")
("...... Fine, okay, you're right. Yes, I want you to help. Yes I want you to be Jake for me.") the Squip changes to look EXACTLY like Jake. Smiling sweetly like Jake does.
("I hate you with a burning passion.")
("Aw I love you too") he sounds like Jake. Says things Jake would say... ACTS like Jake.
("Might want to answer your real boyfriend Rich.") Rich snaps his head around.
"What?"
"You alright? You keep spacing and mumbling to yourself."
"Oh, uh... Yeah. Just... Anxious. Tired."
"Do you want to sit?"
"Uh.... Yeah. Yeah, for a little."
