"what time is it!" Y/n smiled in her kitchen leaning on the counter in a black dress and red vintage apron 

"Uhhhh four sixteen" Thomas answered checking his watch a cup of coffee or tea in his other hand 

"Wrong!" she giggled

"no. four sixteen see" he told her showing her his watch

"No. It's cooking time." 

"Oh. I don't have cooking time labelled on my watch" 

"You need a better watch" she smiled "Now today we shall be making a fun salad" 

"Right? this is a weird video" he laughs 

"First you begin with lettace. did you wash the lettace?"

"I did not. I didn't even know what we were doing today"

"Do you ever read the schedule I do for you?"

"No"

"I taped it to your coffee machine"

"You think I read before I have coffee?" He laughs 

"Anyways you get lettace and you wash it and you throw it in a bowl" she explained throwing a whole head of lettace in a bowl 

"that poor bowl has been through so much" he sighed 

"I know, now we shove in tomato. did you wanna cut it?"

"I'm not allowed to use knives I thought we agreed on that?" 

"You can use them with adult supervision Thomas"

"Are you my adult"

"Yes I will act as your adult" 

"Okay, how big?"

"Whatever makes you happy" 

"I get to use the knives" he smiled excitedly grabbing the meat cleaver

"No. Thomas. use the right knife or you have to use your knife"

"I don't wanna use my plastic knife it doesn't cut stuff"

"Then use them properly"

"Fine!" He whines, using the knife properly "Here"

"Thank you, next we get ourselves something big" she smirked grabbing a large cucumber "Thomas how does this make you feel?"

"inadequate" he sighed 

"Really?" she smiled stroking it

"yep. quiet inadequate" he sighed "Like when you take me to Anne summers" he sighed 

"What?" she giggled 

"Everyman has felt the wave of inadequacy when you walk into an Anne Summers and see that wall of robots you feel so inadequate, so useless and you just stand there and look at it and go... how long until I am replaced by the robots and the few of us that are still decently good lucking will be put into zoos"

"I still need you for stuff other than sex Thomas"

"Like?"

"you drive me places"

"Uber. or a bus"

"you buy our shopping?"

"Sainsbury's will deliver"

"you make food"

"take away"

"you... look after the kids"

"babysitter."

"you make me feel better after a long day of work?"

"I can be replaced by a glass of wine and a bath"

"I mean yeah, that's pretty much what you do for me anyways, your nice to cuddle with?"

"Pillow"

"you know for someone afraid of being replaced by a robot your really not giving me reasons to keep you" 

"you have to keep me," he smiled giving her a cuddle "we're married. you legally have to keep me."

"yeah, that and if you suddenly disappear they're gonna look at me for sure" she sighed "that and we have twins its just beneficial to have an additional person to hand a baby, I would return you if I could Thomas get my money back"

"I burnt our marriage receipt you can't return me"

"I don't know might have the card I bought you on?"

"Nope. it was a gift card"

"Damn it"

"Love you"

"love you too" she giggled "Now we cut the cucumber" she giggled sitting it on the table and slamming the meat cleaver down on the middle of it 

"ahhh! fuck. oooh I felt that" 

"See Thomas it's fine if this was you I wouldn't have cut anything" she giggled 

"that's just mean" he sighed "My dicks are not that small!"

"Prove it" she giggled 

"I don't need to. I got you pregnant, clearly, my dick is fantastic" 

"I mean I married you, I gave you two kids... it's worth settling for sweetie" she smiled giving him a kiss 

"Thanks. you won't replace me with a robot?"

"No. I won't" she smiled "The technology isn't there yet" 

"Hey!"

"No, but seriously I can't replace you Thomas your worth too much to me" she giggled giving him a cuddle

"awww your worth the world to me babydoll, you, our lovely little house, our beautiful girls, and Hopefully our cute little boy" he smiled cuddling her close and stroking her stomach 

"shhhhh cameras on"

"shit. well what does it matter now anyway not like we have to keep it a secret that I put another baby in my sweet little babydoll" 

"I think its another girl"

"well if its another girl they get a cute sister, if not they get a little brother,"

"You want a boy don't you?"

"Course I want a little boy, I have two girls already"

"I think a girl, then they'll be a little trio" 

"nooo I'm outnumbered enough I need a little boy to back me up" 

"we'll a few more weeks and we'll find out"
