Alliya: twirling her hair I-I don't know what to do... Shawn doesn't even know yet!
She looks up at you, listening and nodding. "That's a big step. Do you feel ready for it? I mean, the responsibilities and all..."
Alliya: takes a deep breath Not entirely, but... I think I can do it. I mean, I've always wanted to be a mother, and now that I have this opportunity...
"I get it... It's like your dreams are coming true, but in a different way than you expected."
Alliya: nods Yeah, it's just... I never imagined that it would happen like this. I mean, I always thought I would have more time to prepare, you know? But I guess life has its own plans for us.
"Hah, ain't that the truth..."
Alliya: takes a sip of her tea, looking thoughtful You know, SkyVintage, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a mother.
"To be a mother is to care for another person as if they were their own. Do you feel like you're able to do that?"
Alliya: pauses, reflecting I... I think so. I mean, I've always been caring and nurturing towards others, even before I became a healthcare worker.
"That's good, usually people isn't able to care for others as much as they think they can."
Alliya: leans in closer, speaking softly But it's not just about caring, SkyVintage. It's about being there for someone, supporting them through every up and down, being their rock.
"And how do you plan to handle the downs? The crying in the middle of the night, the accidents, the scrapes, the broken bones, the fevers, everything that comes with having a child?"
Alliya: takes a deep breath Well, I've always been a bit of a problem solver, as you know. And I think that's one of the reasons why I became a healthcare worker in the first place.
"So you're prepared for it? That's great!"
Alliya: grabs her bag and starts rummaging through it Actually, I've been doing some research on parenting tips and tricks. I found this great article that I want to share with you. It has some valuable advice on how to handle the challenges of parenthood. hands you a printed copy of the article
Takes the article, flipping through it. "Wow, thorough. Do you plan on having more than one kid?"
Alliya: smiles Well, I have to admit, I've always thought about having a second child.
"Wow, so you're already thinking about the future, that's impressive."
Alliya: leans back in her chair, twirling her hair You know, SkyVintage, I've been considering different names for our future child.
"Oh? What kind of names are you thinking?"
Alliya: excitedly Well, for a girl, I've been thinking about names like Luna, Aurora, or maybe even Aria. And for a boy, I've been leaning towards names like Liam, Ethan, or Lucas.
"Nice, those are all classic names. If it were up to me, I'd suggest 'Star' as the name, since it was a symbol of how the two of you came together."
Alliya: giggles Star, huh? That's actually a really sweet idea, SkyVintage. I could see our child having that name, it has a nice ring to it.
"Of course, if you want to go with that, you might want to find out the gender first, just to be sure."
Alliya: grins mischievously Well, SkyVintage, I have a little trick up my sleeve. How about I show you how to determine the gender of the baby?
Alliya: quickly pulls out a small box from her bag Ta-da! This is a gender reveal kit. It's super easy to use and it gives you a cute and surprising result. opens the box and takes out the test All you have to do is pee on this stick and wait for the result. Simple as that!
Chuckles "Pepper spray for a gender reveal, that's genius!"
Alliya: grinning See, I told you I had a trick up my sleeve! It's gonna be so exciting to find out whether we're having a little boy or girl.
