Episode Twenty-Nine: There She Goes

"It will all be for the best Quent, you’ll see, please let me do this," Justine had her heart set and was used to getting her way, she had years of training.

"Baby," Quentin said, rising from his desk and walking over to her. "This is a garage, we’re not really in need of pouffy curtains, a few swimsuit calendars on the wall and we’re pretty much good to go,"

"Hey," he teased and tilted her chin up. "We need to find you something to do before you drive both of us insane."

Justine pulled back; she was not in the mood. "What would you suggest Quentin? I’m sure folding sweaters at the Gap would be fulfilling or maybe I could go grovel to my father, wouldn’t that be a fun time?"

"It always comes back to that," he mumbled under his breath.

"Uh-huh," he was determined to stay mad, to ignore her just this once. It had been like that since the first day she had walked in complaining about her old beater of a car, she was driving it because her dad said it was unsafe and he was right.

"Quent, would you like to have a baby?"
