I'm updating twice in one week! Last time, all the kiddos grew up and moved out, and Bryce moved to Hidden Springs and hooked up with Astra.
yes, i'm aware i screwed up the lyrics on this one. i dngaf.
We start this update with Astra throwing up, always in her undies. Classy, baby.
I'd react this way if I had to clean up my puke, too.
A few months later, this happened.
Astra: Oh! Well!
Astra: Oh, gosh! What am I going to tell Bryce?
Meanwhile, Bryce is dancing in his underwear.
Astra: Hey, Bryce?
Bryce: Yeah, babe? I'm in the livingroom!
Bryce: What's wrong, sweetie? Are you sick?
Astra: Sorta... not really. I... I don't know how to say this any other way, so I'll just come right out and say it...
Astra: ...I'm having a baby.
Bryce: REALLY!? That's fantastic!
Astra: It's yours, you know.
Bryce: Yeah, I figured out that much.
Astra: Oh, Bryce! I'm so glad you're not angry with me, I was so scared you'd be upset and kick me out.
Bryce: I could never be mad at you, baby.
Bryce: I couldn't be mad at you, either, baby.
It didn't take long for Astra to go back to her usual crazy self.
Astra: Oh, you wanna fight!? I may be pregnant, but I can still kick some ass!
This is pretty much all she does when she's not making faces at herself.
Meanwhile, Bryce eats some pancakes and has a stare off with the Puffins. I guess Adam passed them on to Bryce when he moved to Hidden Springs. Good call, Adam. Good call.
It's not too long before Astra's back to being upset. She's not having a good pregnancy at all, even waffles can't help her.
Bryce tried his best to cheer her up.
Astra: Hey, what are you hiding behind your back? Is it food?
Bryce: No, something better! Flowers!
Astra: Oh, you.
Bryce: So, you like them?
Astra: Like them? I love them!
The next morning, Astra woke up bright and early...
...and forced Bryce to help her clean the kitchen. I'm not sure why she took it upon herself to mop, but I guess she figured she could do it better than he ever could.
After the cleaning, she decided to reward them both with a lovely meal of pancakes.
Cooking is her favorite thing to do. I may have to rethink her LTW...
Unless it's just eating she likes. Bryce is useless in the kitchen xD
Astra: So, that's why Mr. Anderson is always limping! Well I'll be!
...and right back to the computer.
But not for long!
Astra: Oh, wow, this is not a good feeling!
Astra: B-BRYCE! THE BABY'S COMING!
They both made it to the hospital, and...
It's a girl caterpillar!
Meet Georgia Tempo! She's a light sleeper and loves the outdoors.
Did I mention that she's adorable? 'Cause she definitely is.
I turned Astra's pink room into a little nursery.
The next morning...
Bryce: Baaaaaaaaabe, can you cook those aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany faster?
Bryce: I'm staaaaaaaaaaaaaarving!
Astra: Maybe if you ignore it, it will go away.
Astra: Happy?
Bryce: Very. I love you, Astra.
Bryce: I really do. I've never felt this way about anyone else.
Astra: Bryce...
Astra: Maybe we should cool it down. I mean, we have a kid together. And, while I love Georgie, I don't want another one. At least, not with you.
Bryce: What? But, I...
Bryce: ...but...
He plastered on a smile. He wasn't sure what he did wrong, but he didn't want to make the situation any worse by blowing up on Astra.
Bryce: Sure! Uh... whatever makes you happy. I'm gonna go check up on Georgie...
Georgia was not pleased to be left in the crib all alone.
Bryce is not a happy camper. Georgia, however, is. She loves her daddy. ♥
He always takes her oto the laundry room to feed her. It's so annoying. Ugh.
D'aww!
You'll be okay, kiddo. I promise.
STOP THAT. ;__;
So I made him teach Georgia how to talk.
She loves the attention :3
and it made him happy... at least, I think he's happy.
Definitely nto about to snap and kill someone. Nope.
you can't see me, you can't feel me...
I literally forced him to spend the rest of the day with Georgie to keep his mind off of Astra, who kept her distance, too.
It was after Bryce was asleep that Astra came in to say her goodbyes to Georgia.
Astra: Bye bye, Sweetie! Don't worry, I'm leaving you in good hands. You daddy will take far better care of you than I ever could.
Astra: I'm sorry, sweetie. You can't come.
The sound of Astra's footsteps and voice woke Bryce up.
Bryce: Were you... were you even going to tell me?
Astra: Bryce! I ... of course I was!
Bryce: I just don't get it. What did I do wrong?
Astra: You... nothing! This isn't about you, why would you--
Bryce: Please don't leave me, Astra.
What Went Wrong - blink-182 Astra: I'm sorry, Bryce.
You taught the boy how to kiss, then you broke his heart.
Bryce: It's... whatever. Do what you gotta do.
Bryce: But Astra? If you leave, don't plan on coming back.
Then he left her standing there.
She was highly ticked off. I don't get it, you wanted out, didn't you?
She left shortly after that.
Bryce didn't let her see how upset she'd left him.
The next morning, some boats arrived into the town, full of passengers.
Bryce: Good morning, Georgie! I guess it's just you and me now...
She got a bottle...
...and Bryce got more tears. Pull yourself together, boy!
Bryce adjusted though, and he worked on his "come hither" face as he tried to remember just how Astra made those delicious waffles.
Success!
He spent the rest of the day wandering aimlessly around Hidden Springs with Georgia in tow.
She enjoyed the attention.
He's seriously a fantastic father, he loves his baby girl with every ounce of his being.
Can you blame him?
He was sitting there, crying over her mommy with her trapped in the high chair when someone rang the doorbell...
Girl: Uh, Hi. I'm Franceska. You're Bryce, right? Aren't you a writer? I just moved in down the street! Nice too meet you, neighbor!
And I finish here. More soon, and a longer update next time. I just didn't want to overwhelm everyone with happenings. <3
