Troye ☹ : Jacob it's not illegal I don't think, but I might need help once it all starts, if it does.

Jacob ☼ : I can't agree to anything until I know that it is.. I hope you understand that.

Troye ☹ : Yeah dude I understand. Just hear me out
Troye ☹ : She's settled on an anonymous adoption. Which means she doesn't meet the family, she doesn't even know their names. She gives birth and never sees the baby again. So what if I'm the anonymous adopter Jacob
Troye ☹ : And as soon as he's released to me, I'll go far away from LA. I have enough money to buy a house somewhere up north. Ill have even more soon, from selling marijuana.

Jacob ☼ : You have partial parental rights already, so this might work.
Jacob ☼ : Troye I know you make a lot of money from selling but.... how much money exactly? I mean will you have enough to support yourself and a baby? And what happens if Liz finds out? And what happens when you never come home? You're 17, if police find out you're gonna be shit outta luck. Lets think about all of the possible outcomes.

Troye ☹ : Its enough. I've been selling since I was 10. It's not always been marijuana though, when I was 12 I sold strictly coke. Which racked up the majority of my money. I have enough Jacob trust me.
Troye ☹ : Liz won't find out. She'll never know it was me. Because I'll disappear. By the time the baby is born I'll be 18. So theres no issues with being a minor.
Troye ☹ : You've gotta cut me some slack dude, have some faith in me.

Jacob ☼ : I have complete faith in you.
Jacob ☼ : I'm down for this if you are.
Jacob ☼ : I'd be honored to be the only one who knows about your little secret.

Troye ☹ : You're the best, thank you Jay.

Jacob ☼ : One little thing though, I know a way you can save some money

Troye ☹ : How?

Jacob ☼ : Moving in with me. I'm in an empty house now that Gran is gone. I was gonna get a dog but, a boy and a baby works too!

Troye ☹ : Holy shit
Troye ☹ : Its a yes from me.

Jacob ☼ : Can I decorate the nursery!!! It'll be amazing I promise!!!! Please???

Troye ☹ : Yeah man, if that'll make you happy then do it!

Jacob ☼ : I'm excited to meet you and the little one.

Troye ☹ : Me too, T-Minus 2-3 months.

Jacob smiled at his phone. And so the adventure of adulthood begins, a roommate with a baby moving in, at the age of 17. Absolutely insane.

But Jacob wouldn't want it any other way.
