The three Sims reconvene at the bar in Planet Honey Pop.

 

 

Mackay is the first to comment, "I can't believe you tranquillised Clara, that was entirely unnecessary." Bjorn defends, "I felt like the confrontation was over."

 

 

"No really, that was not cool." Says Maxwell.

 

 

Bjorn snaps back, "Oh like you can talk Maxwell, it all started to go bad the moment you inserted yourself into the conversation." 

 

 

"Same to you Mackay, you were both no help at all. Maybe it would have been better if I had never asked for help to begin with." He isn't joking.

 

 

"And now, now it doesn't even matter. Everyone hates me. I'll never see Clara, or Sofia or Elsa AGAIN!" Bjorn holds his head in his hands.

 

 

Mackay justifies, "Look Bjorn, it might not as bad as you think. Maybe we didn't do all the right things, but at least it wasn't hostile. At least we all told the truth. We could all even be friends one day, if that's what you want."

 

 

"I don't know if that will happen now." He concludes hopelessly.

 

 

"Not if you just tranq your problems away!" Maxwell adds, gesturing dramatically.

 

 

"Oh my god, have you ever done that to ME?" He interrogates. "No." Bjorn lies. Mackay tries to calm his husband down, "Now is not the time to discuss that." 

 

 

Bjorn tries to communicate his feelings, "I feel like my whole life is over. Can you imagine what it would be like if you fell out of love with Maxwell?" - "I guess... I can try." Mackay contemplates.

 

 

"And then think, what if you had kids that you loved more than yourself, would you want to stay together for them? What would you have wanted your parents to do?" - "I... I don't know."

 

 

"And then your best friend of years who you thought you'd be with forever, suddenly they think you're the scum of the Earth." Mackay doesn't respond.

 

 

"Then above it all, what if you had to choose between doing what was right for yourself and possibly never seeing your children smile again." Mackay nods solemnly. 

 

 

Maxwell sits quietly, staring into space.

 

 

Bjorn turns to him, "Maxwell, I love you, but I'm not just telling you this for the sake of it." - "I know baby I know." He nods.

 

 

"My daughters, they mean more to me, more than you can know."

 

 

"I hope you're both listening and understanding where I'm coming from, because I really mean this,"

 

 

Bjorn states resolutely, "I want custody."

 

 

...

 

 

...

 

 

...

 

 

Mackay is the first to snap out of the stunned silence. "Bjorn... That's... a really huge decision."

 

 

"Definitely not one that should be rushed into, especially when you've just asked for a divorce this morning."

 

 

"And there are so many outside factors to consider, what about Clara?"

 

 

"What about Maxwell and my relationship?"

 

 

"I'm not saying, 'no', so to speak, just that we should consider these things." Mackay trails off slightly.

 

 

Bjorn says nothing, but starts to tear up.

 

 

"...excuse me, I'll be back in a minute." He leaves for the bathroom. "I'll go after you." Says Maxwell.

 

 

As soon as he's gone Mackay rushes over to Maxwell, "Maxwell what the fuck, what the fuck! Is he serious?"

 

 

"I don't know!" He gestures back. "It could just be grief?"

 

 

Mackay panics, "Maxwell I don't know if I'm ready to have kids! Or like, have them living in our house."

 

 

Maxwell sighs, "I don't know Mackay, I agree, it's a lot to take in, he hasn't mentioned it before, but he might be serious. He has given up a lot to live here."

 

 

"I guess we can just put off talking about it, till he's over most of the grief?" Suggests Mackay.

 

 

The door swings open, Maxwell reacts quickly "Bathroom's free!" A dejected looking Bjorn walks out. It breaks Mackay's heart. 

 

 

"Oh man, come here buddy." He pulls him into a hug. "Let's go get some food into you."

 

 

They sit down, "See that wasn't so bad was it?" Says Maxwell. Mackay responds, "Oh by the way, I have to start work in a few minutes."

 

 

"Oh... Thank you... Mackay.... How good of you... to mention that... Now." Maxwell replies through gritted teeth.

 

 

"Hey, you two should have some alone time." He takes his last bite of curry and then makes his exit.

 

 

"Come on Bjorn." Says Maxwell putting his arm around his boyfriend, "I know what will cheer you up."

 

 

He begins to kiss him slowly.

 

 

Maxwell pulls Bjorn up beside the table. "Remember when we used to do this sort of thing all the time?" 

 

 

He moves down Bjorn's body, sucking him beneath his suit jacket.

 

 

"Here, turn around."

 

 

"Hold still," Maxwell asks.

 

 

"Perfect." He closes his eyes.

 

 

"Stay down," He holds Bjorn on the table, "We don't want the other people to see us."

 

 

"Aaah."

 

 

"That was great!" Declares Maxwell. Bjorn groans, "Please can we just go home?"
