And now, I’ texts fro it never stops

Cap: Ooo, oo GAH GAH!

I’e rolls in immediately It’s like they coordinated with each other or so

Thatch: Mummy! We’s on teevee! I oo, and I pwo dumdum Gawy his bawls for dindin!

My God I can’t with these guys

A genuine smile kisses my lips as the intro music starts back up with a rat-a-tat on the drulance to the side of the stage shows Heidi’s Botox stretched tightly into a glare, but I don’t bother worrying about it She’s mad at me more than she’s not these days anyway

Harrison, however, is s his head Heit for hi to his friends without including him, but he didn’t even blink Instead, he just told e and unusual, and let ht

Gary looks right into the caru the break to the upbeat entertainer he portrays himself as on TV I’d like to say I can soenuous, but that would be the height of the pot calling the kettle black

“We’re back again with Raquel Weaver…plus one,” he says with a wink “And we’re talking about anything and everything Hollywood starlet”

He turns to facelive on the top “You’ve been at the center of quite a bit of drama lately, huh, Raquel?”

I laugh a little, trying my best to look at ease with the shitshow I know , and nod

“It’s been a little crazy lately, yes,” I confirm softly

“And why is that? I mean, I think that’s what all of America really wants to kno does all this messiness come to be? What really happened?”

“When the pregnancy first came about, I wasn’t really ready to handle the consequences,” I say, glossing over any and all fine details Lies veiled in the truth always sound enuine “I mean, the last ti about their pregnancies”

Gary laughs “Most women aren’t Raquel Weaver”

I call up a blush as I look to my lap and then look Gary back in the eye He doesn’t mean it to be a co the backhanded staterace and privacy of so for Hollywood’s ae he wants to send, despite the innocent sned up for this, Raquel “Well, thank you But it can be a lot for anyone to handle—even me”

“Of course,” Gary agrees, since doing so is the only way to avoid ending up on the Am I the Asshole? (AITA) thread on Reddit “So, where does Ben Huddleson come into all of this? Was it all an elaborate ruse?”

I take a deep gulp of air and try to cal under the gun like this, nocalled to rehash any of the one million questionable decisions you make in your lifetime It always feels shitty—and I can proe

“Ben was just trying to do the right thing He’s a good friend and didn’t want ht alone,” I lie Ben Huddleson is the furthest thing froood friend Hell, I doubt it’s possible for hio “And Harrison,” I start and then s, feeling like I need to explain his desire to be involved further with the broadest,scenario, he is the one person who’s always been trying to do the right thing “Well, he’s the father of this sweet little baby in my belly” I place a hand to my stoinning, but I really didn’t want hiht He didn’t ask for this”

“What’s the matter? He can’t handle a little attention?” Gary jokes, jabbing his journalistic knife in all of ood measure
