I don't know...I'm trying to figure that out. You have my number, Daya. Call me whenever you want or facetime me, I won't mind it either way. RIght...what happened on set kind of made things a bit awkward afterwards and I'm sorry about that. I can also say that I'm not sure where we stand, but we can figure that out? Unfortunately, yes. I'm working on it though. Do I need to a DNA test if he looks just like me? He's...he's mine. I know that I'm not the brightest star of the bunch most of the time, but hey, at least I'm still likeable, right?

do i seem like i am? i didn't know if should facetime you or not! we were friendly but you know...what happened on set. i wasn't sure where we stood. thank you! damn! there are enough for a list? i mean, at least you had a somewhat normal reaction. i don't even know what to say to you right now because i want to shake you. are you on the baby's birth certificate? did you...ask for a dna test? you know, that whole thing? i say this with love but you are so lucky that you are so good looking, holy shit.

[rcbertpattincscn]

It does sound nice, right? It'd be a big change but I wouldn't mind it at all. Daddy's little girl and all that sounds kind of nice. Do you think that you handle a girl? Especially if she has your attitude and sass? Because I know that I can. She'd keep us on our toes, for sure. I've learned about how pregnancy cravings are indications of what the baby might like once they're here. Yeah? Then sounds like I'm going to google things on how to go about making a nursery that's Pooh themed. I'll make sure to wear them a couple of times just for you. I'm just spiraling about how work is going to be pulling me away when it's most important and stuff like that.

A girl? Having one of each would be nice - and to not be so overrun with men in the house. Do you think that we could handle a girl? She might come out sassy from minute one. You've been reading up on things? That's so sweet - what else have you learnt? Hundred acre woods? That could be super cute. We could get planning and painting that. Mhm, only if you make them smell like you. That way can I be warm and have a sense of your comfort. Rob... you're making me worried by not sharing what's getting you in a spiral. Talk to me. We promised each other to be open...

[rcbertpattincscn]

Maybe because this pregnancy is so different it might be a girl. Have you thought about that? I've heard...or at least I've read that when pregnancies are different it's because the gender of the baby is different. I don't know how accurate that is, but you know it's something. I am thinking about themes...no shame. I am...I'm being sappy. I was thinking Winnie the Pooh because it's gender neutral, but also that's all I've thought so far. I guess you're right. That way they know family and all that. See we're already sorta figuring this all out. I like the idea of doing a month in the summer and winter. We'll have to figure out holidays too. Looks like I need to stock up on sweaters then. A lot of different things, but it's nothing you need to worry about.

I'm blaming the hormones - this pregnancy feels a lot different to Noah because we get to experience all the things. Including cravings. You're thinking about themes? Who's being the sappy one now, mhm? What kind of themes are you wanting? I just think it would be nice to raise the kids close to one of our families, at least, right? Give them that connection of family. Head out to New York whenever one of us needs to... since we both have work out there. Maybe a month in the summer and a month in the winter? Although... with the weather over there... basically the same thing. I'll just be stealing all your sweaters, baby. What's got you spiraling? Enjoying everything while we can - who knows how our life is going to change in the coming months.

[rcbertpattincscn]

I feel like you got more sappy now that you're pregnant, but there's nothing wrong with that at all. It's kind of cute. Ahh, got it. We need to know what kind of theme we should do for a nursery and all that jazz. I'm not saying that I'm not ready to move there, if it's something that you want to happen then we can definitely make that happen. New York though might be the easiest, work wise. Spending time in England is definitely needed though. At least a month or two in the year. I get that, and I wouldn't want you to move just because of me. We definitely will figure it out and it's not something that worries me too much per say, but just knowing in what direction we're headed in terms of forever is kind of helpful to keep me from spiraling. And there's nothing wrong with that second wave of puberty. It's going to be fun, honestly. Mmm yes, but I'll never get tired of hearing it from you. I love you.

Sometimes (a lot of times) I like to get sappy- what can I say? You bring it out of me. I meant until they're born, babe. But you're right... I don't think that I can wait that long, either. You don't have to move to Nashville, not if you're not ready. But I thought we'd just be doing what we need to when it comes to our family. If we need to be in LA or New York... we'll be there. Spend time in England with your side of the family. Nashville just has always been home for me, you know? A physical place to land. We'll get it all figured out. I have faith in us. Maybe we're just having some sort of weird second puberty. Never thought I would be wanting someone so badly at the age of 36. Have I told you lately that I love you?

[rcbertpattincscn]

Look at you being disgustingly sweet right now. If I could I'd frame this moment forever and remind you of this sweet moment. Shh, you're not living in a dream. I can assure you of that much. I'm too impatient to wait on the gender until they're born...but also until they're here? What does that mean? Does this mean that I'm going to be moving to Nashville? Now you've got me stressing here on all the things we gotta do and how much time we have left to figure it all out. As long as we're coming up with solutions then we're kind of set, right? Well to an extent that is. I never would have thought that I'd be described as a horny teenager at the ripe age of 39 yrs old.

Me either — I was happy being single and living my life that way but it’s so much richer because you’re in it. If I’m living in a dream then I don’t want anyone to wake me up from it, honestly. Are you wanting to know the gender before they’re here? Or are we going to leave it a surprise? Oh, god. I think we’re going to need to get a bigger house. I know we have a spare room but that’s kind of converted to a recording studio. I mean, I can convert it back and find somewhere else to put the instruments… crap. We’ve got so much to do. Between the two of us it means that we’re going to think of every possibility and a solution for it, too. Thinking of the positives here, baby. Mhm — so we’re both horny teenagers, basically.

[rcbertpattincscn]

I think he's a bit of both? When it's just me and him, we get along just fine and he thinks I'm the coolest — even though he can't speak that out for me just yet. Next time I think they should forewarn people so they can bring two pairs of shoes, at least for the ladies. I am a responsible big kid. If I wasn't then I'm sure that Hayley would hate me. I'm definitely a good dad...cool even.

See — built in best friend… or is he a mamas boy? Hey, it’s cause there was no choice but gravel for a little bit. I like to think I can be a gentleman. My sister might be short but if I wasn’t then she’d find a way to hit me over the head. And that’s not fun. Are you a responsible big kid? Knowing where to draw the line and all? Cause hey, if Hayley is willing to have another kid with you she must think that you’re a good dad, right?

[rcbertpattincscn]

I'm glad that you've managed to allow me into that side of your life. Loving someone so deeply is incredibly wild, because I never thought it'd happen. Once they find out the gender, they are going to go insane with all the shopping. At least I know my mum will — she told me she's excited to start getting all the essentials for us. Are you ready to start storing a bunch of clothes in Noah's room and possibly ours? Oh shit, so three whole grandmas shopping for one single child. Oh well you know, it happens when your mind is constantly in overdrive. I don't know if two over thinkers is a good thing though? Well, it's working for us right now, but you know. Me saying no more sex? That's such a hilarious thought.

Yeah. Having someone know me that well… the idea of that used to scare me. But you’ve shown me that it’s okay to let someone in like that. To love someone so deeply. And that’s before we even know the gender. If we find out, or wait until they’re here… it’s going to be ten times worse. Throw my granny into the mix… babe, I think weee gonna have to cut them off from a shopping addiction. It’s sweet that you’re over thinking so much, thinking of every possibility. At least we’re both chronic over thinkers. I’m taking it as never can be too prepared. Maybe you’ll be the one who’s saying no more sex. Who knows.

[rcbertpattincscn]

Oh, really? Are you one of the few who don't agree with it? If you want to see more of my reactions all you gotta do is facetime me, Daya. Okay, I'll keep that in mind for the next time I have to tell you big news again. Fuck, enough people think I'm an ass...I don't need to add you to the list. It was a wild one to say the least...how she told me, anyway. I was incredibly pissed and even got incredibly drunk that same night I found out. But what was I suppose to do. To protect myself...what are you talking about?

i don't think so? though some people might absolutely disagree. i do miss it because your reactions are amazing. yeah, you don't get to be vague when discussing something this big. i would hope not or i'd think that you are a jackass. um....sprung it on you? rob, i'm...trying here but you are not making this easy. how were you not royally pissed? um....i think my brain is processing so please tell me you did..the smart thing? to protect yourself?

[rcbertpattincscn]

Oh, I'm almost certain that your face will say it but that's okay. I'll just shut up quickly and look away. Guess it kind of happens when you love a person, right? Or that's what I'm telling myself. I'm almost certain that they will be going shopping and buying all the things for their new grandchild and for Noah. Grandmothers can't be stopped. Unless Noah gets sick and then we have two crying babies....okay I need to stop overthinking so much. Ohh, I don't want daily smacks, please and thank you. Alright fine fine, I'll stop worrying about it. Honestly? I think we're going to be okay. Even if we are constantly worrying about it. Ohh, that's really assuring, honestly. I mean I won't complain if you're going to want sex all the time.

If you say the wrong thing... if my words don't say it.. then I'm sure that my face will. You've gotten fairly talented at reading my emotions before I even know what I'm feeling. Yeah - I think so. We'll organize it for as soon as possible. I'm nervous what that means in terms of them going out shopping for the kids.... we're gonna need to get a bigger place. At least Noah is fairly good at sleeping, right? So we don't have to deal with two babies not sleeping. Thank God the scans have only shown one otherwise I'd be smacking you every day until the little one is here. And not in the pleasurable way, either. It'll be something we'll figure out at a later date with the whole more babies thing. Lets just enjoy the two we're going to have. See if we can handle that without completely losing the plot. I couldn't tell you that, babe. I didn't know about Noah until the last month and I still wanted sex the whole time... it was just me and my hands or toys, though.

[rcbertpattincscn]

I never thought about it in that sense, but you've got a point there. He can't...not yet, anyway. Aww, look at you being a real gentleman. Bet she was a bit mad at you for making her walk on the gravel for awhile before switching with her. I'm sure I'll be fine and all that jazz, it's just crazy to me that I'm going to be a father of two soon and I still feel like one big kid living life.

At least you've got built in friends in them - the kid can't exactly run away from you, yet, can he? Unless he can - cause I don't know how old your little one actually is. Hey, my sister was one of those until I switched sides with her so she could walk on the pavement... and yeah, I laughed about it later, too. I'm sure that you're going to do fine, mate. You've got this whole dad thing on lock. Just offer to get up to the kid when they're crying.

[rcbertpattincscn]

Is that a bad thing? I think being stubborn is a great quality to have, please. Ohh really? Miss making me sweat, rude. Okay okay, I'm sorry for being so vague there. To be fair, I didn't even know I had a child until recently...Hayley kind of sprung it on me after we reunited. I was shocked when I found out too. Kind of hurt. But...he's my child and he's a cute one.

thank you! i completely forgot about how stubborn you can be. it's not something that you need to apologize for. i missed teasing you, damn. thank you for that. robert...i'm sorry, i'm going to need you to give me a few more words before i flip out on you. it's only been how many months since i saw you last? when we were..you know...you never mentioned a kid?

[rcbertpattincscn]

Oh yeah, it's always a blast when it comes to having the family around. Without them it's kind of lonely these days, you know? Gotta admit that I had to keep myself from laughing at those struggling walking in the gravel. Thank you! A bit overwhelmed, but I'm sure that's just a feeling that happens when you're going to be a parent yet again. If you end up going there....then you're welcome for a great idea.

As long as you have fun on said family trips — that’s what matters, right? She loved it — very in her element. Even with all those little gravel rocks around and heels. Apparently those don’t mix well. Oh. Shit. Congrats, dude. How’re you feeling? Hawaii is a nice place to go. Probably a little more romantic than Cabo, too. More laid back and such.

[rcbertpattincscn]

Aww, well thank you. I just know that I can put my foot in my mouth more times than I can count and I don't want to say the wrong thing. But you got it, I'll make sure to tell you if you're being ridiculous. Oh yeah? Then we definitely need to get them together sooner rather than later. Hmm, I would hope it's not trouble. Well...I didn't think about that, but I guess you're right. The idea of having double diapers and double crying is stressing me out. I can't even begin to imagine triple of that. I'm not ready for that kind of stress, babe. I get it though...not wanting to be pregnant when you're 40. It's valid. Maybe? Don't most women that are pregnant go through a phase of not wanting to have sex?

You’re allowed to talk — I’m not going to be one of those women that say you can never have an opinion, babe. If I’m being ridiculous then I want you to tell me. I love her, honestly. I think your mom and mine will get along amazingly. And I don’t know if that means trouble for us or not. Babe — hard to break it to you but do you think my mom comes over to spend time with me? It’s all about the grandchild. We’re second class, now. Hey, it’s possible. It runs in my family. But also… you know with this new little one that we are going to have double diapers and double crying, right? We’re just going to have an active toddler on our hands, too. I would love a big family… I just don’t know if I want to go through pregnancy when I’m 40. We’ll figure that out later. You think there’s going to be a point where I don’t want you touching me? Mhm — I find that hard to think about. I always want you.

[rcbertpattincscn]

Fuck...that's not what I wanted out of this. Hey hey, don't point a finger at me like that. I'm just a man who's typically an idiot. I haven't forgotten about her — it's kind of hard to. Shocked that you're even willing to be my friend.

now i feel insulted and i bet she would be too. rob, do you have the memory of a goldfish? or do you just forget the women that you fuck? you should just be happy that you are stuck with me. most people don't get to be. so typical!

[rcbertpattincscn]

Yeah, it was a little family trip for me. Family trips are going to be in my future until further notice. How did she end up liking it? Oh no no, it wasn't a bad thing at all. We just broke the news to them that Hayley and I are having another baby. Depends on what kind of vibes you're looking for. You could go to Mexico and enjoy the great views and food, or you could go to Hawaii.

So it's a little family trip for you? Nah, I brought my sister along cause she's much more of a fashion person than I could ever be. What kind of news did you have to say to your family? You make it sound like it's a bad thing, mate. Where do you think I should take her? Never really planned a vacation for someone that I'm seeing before.

[rcbertpattincscn]

Okay okay, I'll make sure to feel honored. Yeah, I know and I'm sorry that the double standard even exists. I'm sorry? I try my best not to be, but can't help it. No, we don't have to go back to that. For starters...I'm a dad to one and soon to be two. Well shit, then I've got no other pointers.

feel honored, seriously. you should! that they do and i hate that double standard. i forgot how stand offish you can be and i thought we would be past that. or are we going back to that? i don't know? i'm trying to ask what i've missed because something seems different. i don't...have time for a break.

[rcbertpattincscn]

If it's working so far then I wouldn't think it's a placebo? But I don't even know, so I shouldn't even talk. Since you're getting to know her, what do you think so far? I know, honestly wish we could spend longer periods of time in London. I think she would like that a lot. She'd be able to spend time with her grandson....and well me. Twins?! No thank you. I don't want double the diapers or cries. C'mon you're saying you don't want a big family? Rude. Good, I better. Oh I know, and it's like music to my ears. I'm enjoying every moment we get to have sex because I'm sure there's going to be a point where you don't want me touching you.

Apparently — I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or not but it’s settled my stomach. Getting to know the woman who raised you is important to me. So seeing her in person again was wonderful. I wish it could be a more regular thing. Maybe we should bring her out to Nashville soon. Three or four? Well, we better hope that the next ones are twins cause I don’t want to be getting pregnant again for a coupe of years. And that’s a terrifying thought. Not a bad thing, ever. You know I can’t get enough of you, baby. You always make me feel good. Never going to be shy about how vocal I am when you’re fucking me, Rob.
