Chris: How are you feeling babe? Are you sure you're going to be okay enough to travel?

Lai: Yes baby. Dr. Jackie gave me some medication for the nausea that's safe to take while pregnant. 

Chris: Okay babe. We're going to be on a plane. Like, up high, In the sky. Are you sure?

Lai: Yes baby. [starts pouting] I wanna goooo with you. I'll try not to drink too much, so I won't have to pee as often.

Chris: Okay baby. Calm down. [kissing her poked out lips] Stop pouting baby. Lets finish packing. The driver will arrive first thing in the morning to come pick us up. 

Lai: Alright baby. [easing down on the floor]

Chris: Awwww babe. You need help?

Lai: No babe, I got it. You don't have to baby me all the time. 

Chris: Yes I do. You're my baby. My baby having my baby. [rubbing her growing belly] Babe, I swear your stomach got bigger overnight. 

Lai: [glancing down at her stomach] I know right babe. It seems like since I told you, my stomach just started growing. 

Chris: For real babe. Your feet all swollen. You're going through it baby.

Lai: I know babeeee. [pouting again]

Chris: Awww baby, why are you about to cry? [kneeling down to rub her back]

Lai: I don't knowwwwww! [starting to crying]

Chris: Babe, what's wrong?! [gently grabbing her chin making her look up at him]

Lai: This pregnancy has my emotions all over the placeeeee! I'm Sorry! [sniffing]

Chris: It's okay baby. Take my hand baby. Get up. I'll finish packing for the both of us.

Lai: Okayyyyy babe. [taking his hand]

Chris: Sit back and put your feet up baby. 

Lai: Thank you baby. [looking down at her phone] Oh My God. Really?

Chris: What babe?

Lai: [showing him the text message]

Chris: Wowwwwww. Really? She's harassing you now? [shaking his head]

Lai: I don't know what she's not getting. Our friendship is OVER. DONE!

Chris: Block her baby.

Lai: You know what babe. Thank youuuuu. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. 

Chris: Don't sweat it baby. Don't stress that shit. 

Lai: Oh trust, I'm not. Never that. 

Chris: Good! Babe, I was thinking. Would you ever consider making a Couple's Channel? The supporters have been begging us to.

Lai: Yeah, sure babe. I would love to. What are we going to name it though?

Chris: Ummmmm. "Chris and Lai", "Lai and Chris", "The Gills Family", something like that.  How does that sound?

Lai: That sounds good. We can call the Couple's Channel, "Chris and Lai" and the Family Channel, "The Gills Family". 

Chris: Sounds good to me baby. We might as well expand our brands. We both already have over a million subscribers on our personal channels. 

Lai: You're right baby. 

The Next Morning

Chris: Baby, wake up. The driver will be here in a few. [gently shaking her]
