stop stop i'm nesting

Give me one of my characters and one of yours, and I'll tell you how they end up together and what their first-born is like, even if they are unqualified to have children. I'll even give a PB because I'm fabulous.

DOT/NEIL

Dot and Neil were the unfortunate victims of that 1% of the population who get pregnant despite the use of birth control. Whoops. Dot thought about getting an abortion, went to the clinic and everything, and then punked out and went home and cried a lot. It was hard, but she really made the effort to stop drinking. It wasn't until Neil noticed Dot had stopped that she even told him she was pregnant. She pretty much took care of everything herself by choice; she was too proud to ask Neil for any help. So they were still together... just not married or anything like that.

I think Dot and Neil would have a girl first. Considering they have equally horrible names (Dorothy and Eugene, ew), I'm not sure if they'd relieve their kid of the curse or do it because they had to suffer through it. I think Dot might want to name her after her mother, Eliza, but I think Dot might go with Elizabeth instead and she'd be called Lizzie for short. (I really hope she won't be born with fetal alcohol syndrome.) In all seriousness, I think Dot might make an effort to be a decent mother because she didn't have her mother for very long. Lizzie would inherit her mother's fine taste in literature and film and her father's 'do what you like and fuck the rest' attitude. She and Dot really clashed when Lizzie hit high school - lots of screaming matches and such - but they really are the most important thing in each other's lives. I think Dot felt much more fulfilled after she had a kid, and I think it really helped to quell a lot of the insecurities she had.
