Brandy and Angelica stop at a bar for drinks after a day of shopping.
You can ask me about anything but the wedding. I’m all
talked out on that topic. (Brandy)
Well, it won’t be long now, so I’ll let you off the hook.
(Angelica)
It’s been a helluva week at work. I think I’ll have a glass
of red wine. How about you? (Angelica, waving the waitress over)
Hmmm, I think I’ll try one of those fruity cocktails, but
without the alcohol. (Brandy)
No alcohol? Don’t tell me your diet won’t allow for the
occasional cocktail with a splash of happy juice. (Angelica)
No, I’m not counting calories. I’m abstaining for other
reasons. (Brandy)
Oh my gosh, are you pregnant?! (Angelica)
Angie, please! (Brandy)
Don’t “Angie, please” me. I can tell when you’re hiding
something. You get that look. (Angelica)
I am NOT pregnant. But when I am, you will know. (Brandy)
LATER
Brandy returns home from shopping. Tony is on the sofa
reading the paper.
Did I tell you that I saw my doctor yesterday? (Brandy)
No, is everything okay, Babe? (Tony)
Mm hmm, I needed to do my biometric screening and I was due
for a physical, so I scheduled an appointment with my doctor. I, um, told her
not to renew my prescription for birth control pills. (Brandy)
What?! (Tony)
Don’t worry. She says it can take a few months to get out of
my system, and we’ll be married by then. (Brandy)
But Babe don’t you want to enjoy life as newlyweds before
adding kids to the equation? (Tony)
It’s a little late for that, or have you forgotten? (Brandy)
You know what I mean, and having Kayla in our lives is
different. We get her a couple of weekends a month. That’s not the same as
caring for a newborn 24-7. (Tony)
I don’t see any point in waiting to start our family.
(Brandy)
I just think we should talk about it first. (Tony)
That’s what we’re doing right now. (Brandy)
Yeah, but… (Tony)
I thought you’d be excited about this. We’ve both talked
about wanting lots of kids. I’m ready to get started. (Brandy)
Tony stops to really
hear what his fiancée is saying. Then he moves to sit next to her.
Alright, just look me in the eyes and tell me this is what
you really want and that it has nothing to do with your mother wanting
grandbabies or me already having a child with Lea or anything like that. (Tony)
Brandy looks Tony in
the eyes and smiles and then kisses him passionately.
Thanks for reading!
Hmmm, I think she's wanting to cement her place in his life by having his child too.
ReplyDeleteI get that feeling, too. I know too many women who have tried having a man's baby to secure the relationship.
DeleteThis is definitely something that they should have decided on together. I am wondering if Brandy is doing it for a reason other than what she is saying....hmmm. Tony seems to be shocked that she decided not to renew her birth control pills.
ReplyDeleteYour diorama looks great as always!!
Thanks, and I agree that it's a decision they should have made together. I know they're not husband and wife yet, but it's fine for them to go ahead and practice being of the same mind.
DeleteBrandy! That is not a decision you make alone. smh
ReplyDeleteI agree! Thanks for chiming in, grandmommy.
DeleteI think Brandy is showing her insecurity in her relationship with Tony. She seems to still fear she might lose him to Lea because of their child together. Come on, girl, he is marrying you, not her. No babies until you both decide the time is right!
ReplyDeleteGood points, Phyllis! I wonder what it will take for her to feel secure in his love for her.
DeleteI don't even know where to start with Brandy. First of all, that line about it taking a while to get the pills out of her system is a crock of bull. She knows it too, because if she really believed it, she'd still be drinking alcohol. She also should not take steps and then act like she's talking about things with Tony. I agree with what others have already said, she is insecure and rushing to have a baby to make herself feel better. Bad move.
ReplyDeleteYou've called her out on a couple of things, Jaye and I have to agree with you. I don't like the way she pretended to involve Tony in a decision that she had already made.
DeleteDitto on what everyone else says. Insecure women can seem unattractive (inside and out) after awhile. Adding a new baby to a new marriage is just not a smart thing to do. It would be better for her to spend the time getting to know her new husband. I'm sure Tony isn't like some other men, but some men are jealous when babies arrive and they feel they need a lot more attention from their wives. This is probably more complicated when the marriage is so new.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice as always, Vanessa. And when we consider how quickly they got engaged in the first place, it makes even more sense that they should really get to know one another before adding a baby to the equation.
DeleteI agree with everyone else. This is a pretty big decision for Brandy to make on her own without even discussing it with Tony first. I'm not sure this is going to work out well if they start planning for a child this soon...
ReplyDeleteI know that she's probably anxious to start a family since she's already in her thirties, but I agree with all of you that a little patience would be wise and the father should be on board first.
DeleteI'M GLAD I'M GETTING YOUR POST AS WELL AS OTHERS AGAIN YEAH...... I THINK THE PROBLEM WAS MY GMAIL. GREAT EPISODES. :) DEIRDRE WHY DIDN'T YOU DISAPPEAR FARAWAY OR HAD A FEW BODYGUARDS!!! ;(
ReplyDeleteHey Ladonna! I'm glad you're getting posts again, too. I always wonder about readers when I haven't seen them comment in a while. It's good to have you back.
