"Baby, I want to meet your family." Maybelle said at the dinner table. Inez had a school project and was at a friends house, Seaweed and Penny had Alex for the night, so Corny and Maybelle were on their own.
"I don't know May. I don't think that's a good idea." Corny said shifting his food around on his plate. The thought of what could possibly go on with his parents alone made him uneasy.
"I want them to be in their grandchild's life. This is their first and only one." Maybelle argued. Since Corny is an only child, him and Maybelle are the only way his parents are ever going to have a grandchild. Maybelle always looked for the best in people and hoped that his parents had changed and did't hate her solely because of the color of her skin.
"I still don't know. They don't deserve it. They are cruel, racist, people." Corny argued back. He never looked up from his plate. Maybelle could tell that there was more bothering him underneath that he was just not telling her.
"If not for them, do it for your baby. I want my baby to have the experience I did. To be able to know their father and mothers parents. Since my baby can't know both of their grandfathers, I think they should be able to know at least one." Maybelle fought back. She started to tear up thinking about her grandparents and father. She had so many great memories with them and that's all she wanted for her baby.
"Okay. Alright. I'll call them tomorrow before the show and we'll see." Corny said looking up at her. He couldn't stand when she cried. It hurt him to see her hurt in any way.
"Thanks baby." Maybelle said smiling a little.
"Did you take your meds today?" Corny ask. He usually has to remind her because she has so much going on, she forgets.
"I didn't take my anti-depressants. I figured i'd be fine if I skipped one day.I wanna be able to not have to take them at all, so i'm trying to ween myself off of them." Maybelle said.
"Baby, you need to take them. Doctor said so." Corny said getting up and putting his plates in the sink.
"I know baby. I just, i don't know." Maybelle said following his actions. He pulled her to him and gave her a kiss.
"Will you promise me you will take them tomorrow?"
"Yes. Will you promise me you will call your parent's tomorrow?"
"Yes. I love you."
"I love you too. I'm really tired. Let's go to bed."
"Alright baby." With that Corny led her into their room, where they peacefully slept, Maybelle in his arms.
