But as soon as he shut the door to his office, Eli silently sobbed. He was fucked. He could pick up and leave- it would be so simple- yet so complicated.
He took a long hard look at the play he was writing and burned it. He needed to start over. 4 hours later he crawled into bed, dozing off on his stomach in all his clothes.

Trixie had already gone to bed, and fell asleep frowning when Eli never showed. The next morning, she woke to get the baby, sighing when she saw him passed out in bed. She shook her head, leaving to get Duncan, who was already awake in his crib.

((i'm gonna assume dave and zip are already married bc i always assumed they'd get married once dave graduated))
Eli stirred in his sleep, finally waking up and crawling back to his office. He had a fresh new idea last night, and he had to get it on paper. He worked the rest of the day, scribbing and tossing away papers and finally emerged at dinnertime.
"Finished."

((Yup!))
Trixie was sitting at the kitchen table, Duncan in her arms, drinking from his bottle. She looked up at him, blinking. "Done, done?"

Eli had large circles under his eyes as he nodded, reaching for his coat. "I'm taking it to David. Gonna have him read it."

She bit her lip. "You could take it tomorrow. Stay tonight. You need to eat. Baby's going down in a minute. We can eat together."

"No, I need the night to work if its terrible," Eli replied, smelling the food in the oven. "What is that? Pot roast?"

She sighed. "Yeah." She stood up, putting the baby against her shoulder. "We never got to celebrate." She walked away, taking Duncan to the nursery.

Now he felt bad. "I'll stay, and...celebrate with you," Eli told her, feeling guilty. He sat down at the table waiting for her.

She didn't respond, just glanced at him before she left the room and sat in the rocking chair in the nursery, rocking Duncan in her arms.

"Trix?" Eli asked, confused. What did he do?

She put the baby to sleep before coming back out to talk to him, leaning against the doorway of the dining room. "I thought you were going to see David."

"I felt bad. I'll eat with you, and then go," Eli told her.

Eli sighed. "We are a family." He went to pull the pot roast out of the oven. "Once this thing is done, it'll be normal work hours. I promise."
