The epic definition of guilt: you give your boyfriend sick germs.

MOM! I don't know how to make soup!

I can come over and make some soup for you guys, honey.

[thankfuckforlife]

I diseased him.

[livingforlife]

Germs spread, kiddo. You know this.

[thankfuckforlife]

This shouldn't be how it works.

[livingforlife]

You're a doctor, sweetie. We both know this is exactly how it works, no matter how much we'd like for it to not be the case. I'm glad to come over and make soup, though. And hot tea for both of you.

[thankfuckforlife]

I know, I know. I know the practical side, but I feel guilty. What if I ruined his Thanksgiving plans?

[livingforlife]

Have you talked to him about what his Thanksgiving plans were?

[thankfuckforlife]

Mom... he had NO Thanksgiving plans. He's coming to ours because I said so.

[livingforlife]

You didn't ruin them, then. You two are still coming to Thanksgiving, sick or not.

[thankfuckforlife]

He said he was just going to catch up on work because he knew I'd be busy. I can't imagine not having Thanksgiving.

[livingforlife]

Like we were going to have Thanksgiving dinner and let Adrian be catching up on work. Those are not the rules.

[thankfuckforlife]

His brother's overseas, he said it was no big deal. Work often takes precedent over holidays for their family. He's in for a big shock dating me.

[livingforlife]

Oh, yeah. Nothing comes before holidays for us. Even if you're on shift, the holidays shift to make room for you to still be around. It's always been that way, with Grandpa working at the hospital before he took the job as a professor. I'm looking forward to having him around for Thanksgiving.

[thankfuckforlife]

Me too. I want him around all the time.

[livingforlife]

He's a sweetheart, and he's so kind to you. Exactly what a mom wants.

[thankfuckforlife]

It doesn't seem hard for him. I think maybe that's just how it's supposed to be.

[livingforlife]

Like loving you comes naturally? I think that's exactly how it's supposed to be, honey.

[thankfuckforlife]

There's no gut feeling there that maybe this isn't something I could get stuck on. It's the opposite, really. He keeps surprising me. I'm not meaning in 'Yay, presents!' I mean, he does and says these beautiful things because he wants to.

[livingforlife]

He's a beautiful person. I can see that in the way he treats you. It makes me happy... and also sort of teary.

[thankfuckforlife]

You're trying to decide on a Mother of the Bride outfit in your head, aren't you?

[livingforlife]

No.

How did I end up with a kid who can outsass me?

[thankfuckforlife]

I promise, Momma, we're not thinking about marriage yet and if we do, you'll be the first to know.

[livingforlife]

As long as I'm first to know, I'll leave you alone on that. ♥

[thankfuckforlife]

We're just taking it at a nice pace. We don't need to think about that sort of stuff yet, but it's nice to think it could be an option some day.

[livingforlife]

It's just special for me to see you so happy, baby.

[thankfuckforlife]

He makes me happy. I don't even need a why, he's just beautiful inside and out. And we laugh. I think that's the most important bit.

[livingforlife]

Laughter's an amazing thing. Especially after a day of stress, when you can come to someone you adore and just laugh? It's kind of awesome. I'm loving seeing you happy. And honestly? I'm loving seeing Adrian happy, too.

[thankfuckforlife]

I don't have to put up any masks with him. He just takes me for who I am. I thought I'd be the epic basic bitch with him because of who he is, but it's not like that. I'm glad you like him, momma.

[livingforlife]

You shouldn't have to. The person you love should love you without a single mask. I'm glad I like him, too. It would be awkward if I didn't.

[thankfuckforlife]

It was just in my last relationship, everything was always a compromise to work. I don't compromise anything with Adrian, we just map things out together.
