Noah & Luna Pierce

[Luna Pierce]

I know it’s not your weekend, but are you free to take Harper? I had something unexpected come up.

[Noah Pierce]

I can make it work. What's going on? Everything alright?

[Luna Pierce]

Yes. The venue just added a show, and I must be there this weekend. I had asked Carmen to babysit, but she already had plans with Shawn. Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Noah Pierce]

No worries, always happy to have more time with her. Finally got a date set for the start of tour, btw. June 26th. Won't be back til beginning of August.

[Luna Pierce]

She loves the extra time with you too. Alright, cool. You starting in Chicago? I'll schedule some time off, so you don't have to go that long without seeing her.

[Noah Pierce]

Yep, starting here and heading east until we hit New York then making our way back. If you two wanted to make the trip when we get to NY, I'd happily help get you there. Carmen too, if she wants.

[Luna Pierce]

I can get us there. I can ask, but she probably wouldn't want to leave Shawn behind.

[Noah Pierce]

The offer still stands if you want it. You're the one doing me a favor and making it so I don't have to go so long between seeing our princess.

[Luna Pierce]

I’m just trying not to depend on you so much anymore.

[Noah Pierce]

I just like knowing that you're both taken care of but I get it.

[Luna Pierce]

I’m good. She’s good. The money you give me already goes towards her needs.

[Noah Pierce]

Sorry Lulu. Hearing you loud and clear now. When you planning on dropping Harper off?

[Luna Pierce]

I guess I expect you to hate me. Co-parenting shouldn’t be this easy sometimes.

Friday at 6pm.

[Noah Pierce]

It'd be easier for me if I did hate you but I don't. Are you really upset that we aren't having issues with our co-parenting though? Kind of seems like a good thing to me.

Thanks. I'll make sure I'm ready.

[Luna Pierce]

You should hate me, though. I was horrible to you. No. I mean, I don’t know. You’re just as nice to me now as you were before, and I guess it just throws me off sometimes. Like, in my head I expected you to hate me.

[Noah Pierce]

I'm trying my best to navigate this best as I can. You're still the mother of my child and yeah, I'm pissed but arguing about it isn't going to change what's already happened.

[Luna Pierce]

I’m still so sorry, Noah. Maybe, in a way, I want you to hate him because it’ll be easier for me.

[Noah Pierce]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe I shouldn't have been so busy chasing my dream and should have made sure your needs were better taken care of. Maybe no one is to blame or be hated.

[Luna Pierce]

You’re not at all to blame. I’m proud of you. You deserve success because you've worked hard to get where you are. Harper’s proud too. She tells everyone at daycare how her daddy is a rockstar.

[Noah Pierce]

That's bloody adorable. She deserves the best the world has to offer and I'm determined to make sure she gets it. You both do.

[Luna Pierce]

She’s a happy kid, so I think we're doing something right.

[Noah Pierce]

Good, I think we are too. She's got her mom's looks and daddy's knack for music. Plus, she's quite the little genius. She'll be her own triple threat in no time.

[Luna Pierce]

Sometimes, we have conversations, and I forget she’s only three. She’s a teenager in a toddler’s body. She also likes to walk around the house saying, Jesus Christ. I wonder where she gets that from?

[Noah Pierce]

I haven't a clue. Jk. At least, I managed to cut back on other swear words though. That one I just can't help.

[Luna Pierce]

It’s okay. I stubbed my toe the other day and yelled fuck. She repeated it for three hours. :see:

[Noah Pierce]

Quite the little parrot, ain't she.

[Luna Pierce]

The cutest one. I can’t even be mad at her.

What are you doing tonight? You want to come over for dinner? Harper would love it.

[Noah Pierce]

She gives me those puppy dog eyes and I fold every time.

That sounds lovely and I wish I could but unfortunately, I can't. I have a meeting with my manager.

[Luna Pierce]

She has you wrapped around her finger most of all.

All right. Not a problem. Maybe another time.

[Noah Pierce]

She absolutely does.

I'd really like that.

[Luna Pierce]

All right, well, I have to get Harp and then go to the grocery store. I’ll talk to you later. Have a good meeting.

[Noah Pierce]

Sounds good. Thank you. Tell her daddy loves her and is excited for this weekend.

[Luna Pierce]

I think Harp left her blanket at your place. I can’t find it, and she’s having a conniption fit. Can you look for it when you get a chance?

[Noah Pierce]

yep, on it.

[Luna Pierce]

Any luck?

[Noah Pierce]

Got it! I'll bring it by soon.

Might not be a half bad idea for you two to move in here. Wouldn't have this problem, would we?

[Luna Pierce]

Thank you!

Noah... It hasn't even been two weeks. Are you sure you want that?

[Noah Pierce]

Wouldn't have said it unless I was sure. We don't even have to move here, we could find somewhere new.

[Luna Pierce]

I don’t want you to change your mind after the fact. That’s all.

[Noah Pierce]

If you don't want to do it, it's fine.

[Luna Pierce]

That’s not what I said or meant, Noah. I want that more than anything.

[Noah Pierce]

Then why thinkin I don't really want this or am gonna change my mind?

[Luna Pierce]

Because my brain automatically thinks the worst in any situation.

[Noah Pierce]

I lost you once, I don't plan on doing it again.

[Luna Pierce]

You’re not going to lose me again. I promise, and moving in together sounds like a great idea.

[Noah Pierce]

so long as you don't feel pressured into it.

[Luna Pierce]

No. I don’t. It would be good for us and Harper to be under the same roof again.

[Noah Pierce]

brilliant! you and Harper of course come first, if it'd be most comfortable for me to move back in, we can do that as well.

[Luna Pierce]

A fresh start someplace new doesn't sound so bad.

[Noah Pierce]

[then, I shall get to looking. after I bring you the blankie first.

[Luna Pierce]

I can make us lunch, and we can look together. Harper will go down for her nap once you get here with the blanket.
