Tate
Hey

Nat
What did you do

Tate
What do you mean

Nat
We always said we only text when it's something serious and it's easier to type then finding the
words to say it, what did you do

Tate
Okay fine
You know how you told me you were pregnant?

Nat
Yeah, happened a few days ago

Tate
And how I said that Pedri wants kids

Nat
Yeah, that also happened a few days ago

Tate
So after thinking more about it, I thought
maybe I was ready for kids as well

Nat
You're pregnant?

Tate
Well no

Nat
But you're trying?

Tate
Well maybe

Nat
I'm happy for you then

Tate
You're not mad that I'm like copying you
or anything?

Nat
You think I'd be mad about something like that

Tate
No I don't think so, I just got nervous

Nat
I always thought you'd have kids before me
anyways, so I'm not surprised you'll have one
at 20

Tate
You thought I'd have them early?

Nat
See I always say I was meant to be a big sister,
and I think you were always meant to be a mom

Tate
Really?

Nat
Yeah and I'm slightly jealous

Tate
Why's that

Nat
Because at 20 you'll be more prepared to be
a mom than I'll be at 25

Tate
Am I doing the right thing?

Nat
If you both love each other as much as you
have everyone convinced then yes, there's
nothing wrong with being parents young

Tate
I feel like mom and dad won't agree

Nat
They were your age when they had me

Tate
They also got married young

Nat
So? You're grown up and you can make
your own decisions, who cares if they agree

Tate
You say that as if I'm not a perfectionist

Nat
I know, and you seek out validation but it
shouldn't matter in this case. They'd be hypocrites
if they got mad at you for it, but they won't

Tate
How did it go when you told them?

Nat
They were happy for me, because Tate we
aren't little kids anymore, as crazy and scary
as it seems, we can make our own decisions
without asking them for permission
