Well, I thought that eight was better than just six.
[yeah he has no chance of paying attention now, sorry]
You know, most people focus on getting married or something before they start planning an army of kids. And I'm not saying I have names picked out or anything, but I totally do.
Okay, hold on. We're definitely getting married before we have an army of kids.
( 😤 he's 😤 old fashioned 😤 okay!!! he's gonna put a gd ring on it!!! 😤 )
We should probably start small before we commit to the army, anyway. Not to mention that we'll have to be trying a lot, baby, you might get tired of me before we even manage one.
But if you've got name ideas I think as the other half of this 5 year plan I should get to know what they are.
Oh yeah, I can definitely see myself getting sick of you and being like "again??" when we have to keep trying. It's not like you're insanely attractive and amazing in bed or anything. Or like I'd be really into the whole making babies thing.
[The fact she's able to type out any of this at all without blushing like crazy is progress.]
I was thinking we could do the whole gender neutral name thing though? Like Alex. My mom would want it to be Alexandra or something if it was a girl, and Alexander if it was a boy. But what if it was just Alex, like that's the name no matter what the baby comes out as?
It'd drive her crazy because I know she wants these ultra feminine and super sporty grandkids and I just don't want her issues to project onto them the same way they did with me and my brother. You know?
So like Harper and Sawyer, or Logan! Logan is a cool name, right? And Riley!
[He doesn't know what can of worms he's just opened. Someone stop her.]
I'm just saying, it could happen. I mean, I can't personally see a point where I would think, no, maybe not today, if there's an option of touching you or being inside you and all the incredibly enjoyable parts of trying to make a perfect blend of you and me.
( and he definitely got carried away, there, because he forgot the part where he's supposed to add, but, you know, maybe! maybe you'll get tired of it. who knows? because mmmyup his brain is pretty stuck on the incredibly enjoyable parts of trying to make an army of babies with Chrissy Cunningham, oops. )
I like Harper. Sawyer, too. Chris works too, huh? If it isn't Christine or Christopher. Just Chris.
( because okay, call him kinda cliche, but he would very much like a baby girl that looks just like her mom, strawberry blonde and all. but. a boy named Chris would work, too. it'd be perfect. (but in his head it is definitely a girl, he just has to update her name to something gender neutral.) )
[Chris is what Jason used to call her. It used to drive her crazy. But Steve occasionally calls her it too, and she absolutely loves it. So she guesses it just goes to show what happens when someone you love gives you a nickname.
The idea though of having a little girl named Chris is perfect to her though. She completely ignores class in favor of daydreaming about a future with Steve where they're married and own a house and have eight kids. She's lose in that daydream for a little while.]
How long do we have to wait to make this happen again? I know we talked about a five year plan, but what if that feels like five years is too long?
I'm just saying that we're usually careful. I'm not telling you that we should make a baby right now, but I am telling you that the idea of making one is enough that I really want you right about now.
( though, Steve is so gone over this strawberry blonde sweet as spun sugar angel faced girl, she could come at him with a name like Attack Helicopter and he would be more okay with it than he frankly should be. )
I think it might be in the name, baby. Five years. Give or take. ( not that he's at all against her enthusiasm!!! it is just he wants to have things figured out, before that next step. a house and a job, security, safety — if that's when possible in Hawkins. )
I want you all the time, Chrissy. The idea of you being turned on just by the idea of making a family is making this class feel pointless. God, there's still another half hour to go.
If you don't sneak out, I'll probably hold it against you and be really grumpy later. Or sad. I might even frown at you when we meet for lunch later.
You don't want that do you?
[Is she terrible at guilting him and convincing him to do something? Probably. But she's already ditched class and is hanging outside the building he's in. She's got her giant textbook she had to work weeks of babysitting to be able to afford, which makes her feel a little guilty about skipping out on class.
But it's only this once, she tells herself. And it's not like it's a total waste of tuition. There's a lot of other classes for her to attend this semester. And she's way too turned on right now to just sit there and try to pay attention to a professor go on and on.]
( Chrissy isn't actually that terrible at guilting him, turns out. or maybe it's just easy to guilt a guy into wanting to do what he wants to do, anyway. look, Steve isn't exactly an academic. he's ... well, in his head he's trying. in practice he should really, really try more!!
but then his girlfriend wants to sneak out and fool around. it might be very high school, to skip to suck face. it's just that he's not particularly invested in this lecture. he'll catch up next class. maybe try and convince someone that seems smart to give him some notes. it'll be fine. )
Grumpy and frowns, huh? Part of me wants to know what a pouty Chrissy would even look like.
But it won't be today, because I'm absolutely skipping out to meet you. Wherever you want. Think we can find an empty study room in the library?
[Not that Chrissy's ever inspired to fool around in creative places. His car or anywhere in their apartment is fine. Okay, it's really his apartment. She just stays there pretty much 24/7 now that she's out of high school and legally an adult. She's her own person now, her parents unable to tell her what to do. Not that Laura Cunningham even bothers telling her not to see Steve anymore. She accepts the fact that he's a permanent fixture in Chrissy's life.]
We could just go behind the math building. It's dark and quiet and no one will see us.
[Is fooling around outside a little too daring? She hasn't decided yet.]
C'mon, it's creative! ...It's at least different. We haven't made out in a library before.
( this is them turning over a new leaf, Chrissy. smart college students must make out in libraries all the time. Steve isn't particular, it turns out he'll fool around with Chrissy just about anywhere. )
I can't say I care if anybody sees us. Sort of like everyone knowing I am the one that gets to kiss you. But look, I can do back of the math building, absolutely.
