We did it! The monster at the end of this chapter is Imogen’s inferiority complex being validated by everyone she encounters! What a feel-good story about two people falling in love eventually. 😀
Thanks for reading along with chapter five! As usual, I’m gonna take a handful of weeks to recover, recenter, and script the next chapter! So, see y’all again on the Motherlover channel on November 26! How Baby updates continue as normal. <3
Happy Halloween!!

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Alex and Imogen, both looking at their phones)
Alex, in text: omg don’t be pregnant again your husband is a dick
Imogen, in text: omg no it’s not that I promise!!
Alex, in text: Do you want me to come sit with you?
Imogen, in text: No, it’s okay. Just let me know when you’re done and I’ll meet you at the car.
Imogen, in text: I’m really sorry.
Alex, in text: kk. I hope you feel better soon.
Panel 2 (textless; Imogen sits with her face in her hands)
This chapter did not end on a high note. We need more high notes. At some point.
I’m not sure how much time has passed since earlier chapters, I’m guessing a bit since they are so familiar that Alex gets to call Imogen’s husband a dick.
I mean, he *is*… I’m just not sure in the early stages of a friendship that a person may accept someone denigrating their partner like that. So I guess a decent amount of time and (unseen) events have passed.
My thoughts exactly! As hilarious as the line was
