#NORTALICE BABIES MY BELOVEDS

[mintytealfox]

How to you think Norton would react to learning that he's going to be a father?

OH MAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I think he would be HORRIFIED initially!

The thoughts of 'how long do I have?? will I be able to live long enough for the child to even know me as their dad?? I need to set them up for success, do I have enough time to do that?? I can't allow them to experience poverty, what do I need to do to ensure that??'

Then the thoughts of 'what if Alice doesn't make it?? what if the child doesn't make it?? I have never had people to care about, its always just been me taking care of me after my father died. I actually have people to loose now, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO--'

Alice: "Norton, your thoughts are spinning so loudly even I can hear them~" -trying to insert humor in there cause it is strange to see Norton actually worrying like this. Usually he is the one just 'do what you need to do, what happens happens cause its up to you and your own hard work'-

I feel like this would throw a wrench in how Norton functions cause it brings just about everything to the surface for him. Everything he wished he had, knowing how unfair the world is, what is required to 'change your fate' into a better one. This is something huge that he has no control over and I can see that freaking him out.

But I am sure Alice will figure out a way to reassure him, even if its just reminding him everything he has survived alone, what they have survived together, and what they will get through because of all that knowledge and experience. Then trying to hope for the best, enjoy and appreciate the now. Time will run out one day, so the goal is to set everything up today for the best potential tomorrow ;;

Then I can see Norton locking in, pulling out that grindset again to prepare for as much as possible

I am confident he will chill out lol just the initial shock and change that will come will likely rock his world for a second heh
