    Summary

    Carmy jams his key in and turns as at least ten envelopes fall out in his hands and onto the lobby floor.

    Credit card statement, health insurance bullshit, scam, scam. Huh.

    He thumbs one letter, smaller than the rest. It’s an olive color, decorated with a handful of pastel stickers and scribbled in black ink. Print.

    Carmy huffs out a bewildered laugh, covers his mouth at the sound, shuts the mailbox. No fucking way.

    Summary

    Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?

    Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

    Summary

    Carmy’s making pot au feu for dinner. Sydney made fun of him when he suggested it - “it’s just so fucking French, Carm!” - but she’d felt bad when he blushed and scrubbed a hand through his hair and mumbled something about wanting to nourish them. Her and Eulalia. She can’t really argue with that.

    Carmy makes dinner for Sydney and her daughter.

    Summary

    Her parents are in the kitchen of The Bear. Where else would they be? Sydney’s dicing onions, Carmen’s grating garlic. For a moment Eulalia just stands there in the doorway, watching them, letting how much she loves them fill up her whole heart. Her mother says something, too quiet for Eulalia to hear, and her father laughs, and nudges her shoulder with his own. He’s always touching her. When she was a child, Eulalia thought everyone’s parents were like that, putting their hands on each other and kissing and talking in a language even their children don’t fully understand. It was only when she got older she realized how untrue that was. She’s lucky, she knows that now. Most people are planted in dust and expected to grow.

    Sydney’s baby grows up.
