I’d like to say that each time I came out a better person, but I’m not entirely sure of how true that is. I’m different, that’s for sure. The person I used to be is now nothing more than a ghost haunting my memories.

Welcome Baby #2 – Eto Hanakatoba
If there’s one lesson I’ve learned in life, it’s that things never go as you expect them too. It was a lesson I kept having to learn again and again.
Altair: I–I can’t. [quiet] I’m sorry.
Ume: I didn’t think so.
Ume: Not in the way I used to…
Altair: I can’t believe–
Ume: Can’t believe what? That after all of these years of being your second choice I might not want to be anymore?
Altair: How can you say that? That isn’t true at all.
Ume: Isn’t it though, Altair? Look at me and tell me that I’m the one you want here. If you can… then I promise you I will stay and find a way to make this work.
Ume: Is that really what you want?
Altair: It doesn’t really matter what either of us wants at this point, does it? The baby will be here any day now and we have to do what’s best for her.
Ume: Is it really best for her?
Altair: …
Ume: You know what it’s like to grow up with parents that don’t love each other… do we really want to put our child through that?
Altair: Are you saying you don’t love me anymore?
Ume: Is this what you really want?
Altair: What the fudge do you mean, “is this what I really want”?
Ume: You can’t pretend like you don’t feel it too… I don’t think either of us is happy with the way things are.
Altair: It’s not like any of this happened under ideal circumstances… I just thought that we would, I don’t know? Figure it out somewhere along the way.
Altair: Is something bothering you? You seem really tense tonight.
Ume: I… [sighs] Altair… we need to talk.
Altair: Uh-oh…
[shuffling]
Altair: She’s kicking. Do you want to feel?
Ume: Whoa. It feels like she’s having a party in there.
Altair: Trying having that in your stomach.
Ume: Hopefully she’ll calm down before you go to bed.
Altair: I hope so. She seems to settle whenever you’re around. She would probably sleep better if you were here too.
Ume: Are you asking me to stay?
Altair: Maybe.
Aster: I can’t believe that I almost believed you for a second. You’re the worst, you know that, Ume? Now if you’ll excuse me… I’ve got a train to catch.
Ume: [quietly] I know I am…
Aster: You can’t. Seriously?
Ume: I’m sorry, Aster…it’s just not a good time.
Aster: It’s her isn’t it?
Ume: …
Aster: FUDGE. I’m such a dumb berry. I can’t believe…
