Just as I thought, I've already started running behind! In my defence, I do have a good reason - it's a long weekend here, and I'm been inducting my brother into the FDTD fandom!

And hey... I'm even putting up day 7 & 8 early!

Day 7: Pumpkin Flavored (Freddie and Margaret Gonzales, Pre-series)

"Morning, Frederico," Earl stated, walking into the Gonzales' newly-purchased home. He tipped his Stetson to the lady cooking in the kitchen, and added, "Good morning, Margaret. How are you feeling today?"

"Pretty good, Earl," Margaret replied with a smile. "Would you like some biscuits? I seem to be baking non-stop these days."

"Which is great, really," Freddie added. "But it's all pumpkin-flavoured! Biscuits, cookies – even muffins! Margaret's doesn't want anything else lately. I swear, I think she's given up chocolate."

"So, pumpkin's been what you're craving, then?" Earl asked politely. "When Ramona was pregnant, she was crazy about oranges."

Margaret gave a careless shrug. "Hormones, I guess."

Eyeing her husband carefully, she leaned onto the kitchen counter, picked up her coffee and sipped, a pumpkin muffin resting on a plate at her elbow.

Freddie took a sip of his coffee, paused, and put the cup down carefully. "Wait a second... did you say - pregnant?"

Note: no idea how Earl moseyed into this segment – it was just supposed to be Freddie and Margaret! Guess that's how much of a badass he is!

During his death scene, he asks Freddie to tell 'Ramona' he's sorry. Given that she's been dead two years, it seems logical that it's his wife's name, rather than his daughter's.

And yeah, in case I didn't make it clear – this is how Freddie finds out that Billy's on the way.
