much, but I can ascend little by little, Laura will continue studying as long as the

AUNT OF LAURA: What I tell you, to that workshop I do not take my car anymore, go
to a mechanic and go way to serve customers. But of course I got caught out and could
not bring the car closer.

Fran and Laura eat their dishes almost without looking at the Mother of this.
MOTHER OF LAURA: And tell us Fran, have you already found a post-graduate course
for after the Institute?
FRAN: Well, not yet, it's more, we wanted to tell you about that.
AUNT OF LAURA: What's the matter? Have you found a course abroad? Is that what
you want to talk about that you're going away?
MOTHER OF LAURA: The truth is that we would not like it if you went to live outside
together, but I suppose it would be better.
LAURA: Not exactly. We want to tell you one thing and before you say anything, let us
finish and above all think that we are adults and we know what we are doing.
AUNT OF LAURA: We start well, look at what I imagine it is, we will have it.
MOTHER OF LAURA: Well let them talk.
LAURA: Fran and I are going to be parents.

AUNT OF LAURA: Excuse me? It's a joke, right?
Fran and Laura shake their heads.
MOTHER OF LAURA: Are you sure, my daughter?
LAURA: Yes
Everyone remains silent for a moment.
LAURA: Do not you say anything?
AUNT OF LAURA: What do you want us to tell you? That you are irresponsible and
that you have just ruined your life?
LAURA: Or you could also give us your opinion and support us.
AUNT OF LAURA: I can not support an act of immaturity. You have just annoyed your
future. And the worst thing is that I know how this is going to end. Your
(Pointing to Fran)
... you will get tired in a few months and the boy or girl will end up taking care of you
and raising your mother and me, and I refuse.

FRAN: He is wrong and he will end up realizing his mistake.
AUNT OF LAURA: I can only tell you one thing, if you expect us to end up dealing
with your problems, you are very wrong, because you will live here because you are our
niece but we will not pay for all your broken dishes.
LAURA: Well, calm that all that has a solution. We are a couple, we have thought about
it very seriously and we know it will be difficult. We are going to live together and yes
you accept it well and if not calm we will not bother you anymore.

couple of chairs and a table.
Fran and Laura enter the house, Fran carries a box on top and a bag hanging over her
shoulder. She sits in one of the chairs and approaches the table with a very serious face.
FRAN: I leave the box here and we're going to put the interior in place little by little this
afternoon.
Fran stops and looks at Laura.
FRAN: What's wrong, little one?
LAURA: Nothing.
Laura's eyes begin to sprout tears that run down her cheeks.
FRAN: Is something wrong?
LAURA: What if we're wrong?
FRAN: With what?
LAURA: With us, the child, the house. What if our parents are right?
FRAN: Well you know what, they may be right.
LAURA: Yes, do you think so too?
FRAN: Of course, what sort of mindless would he be if he were not afraid. But it's normal
LAURA: How normal?

FRAN: Well, normal, being afraid means that we are worried. And it is normal because
it is very complicated. But you and I together, we sure got it.
Laura smiles.
FRAN: And we may make mistakes and have many more problems than we thought, but
I can not think of any better partner to carry out this adventure.
Laura I love you.
FRAN: I know.
They both laugh and kiss.
