Long time no see. Look what I've brought... our little surprise.

What is it?
It's a baby. Ours. Remember the last time we were together? Well, nine months ago... She holds up the baby for you to see

ChocolatePhoenix
Is it mine? How do I know?
Of course it's yours! Who else would it be? I wouldn't bring a random baby here, would I? Here, take a look at its eyes. They're just like yours.

ChocolatePhoenix
The eyes thing doesn’t really work, everyone has different eye colors.
Fine, fine. You don't believe me, huh? Well, let's do a DNA test then. I knew you'd be skeptical, but I have proof. I even got the paperwork ready.

ChocolatePhoenix
…
Come on, let's not drag this out. We both know the baby is yours. And look at how cute it is! Can't you see how much it resembles you?
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
sighs Can I hold the baby?
Sure, go ahead. Be careful, though. Babies are delicate. smirks as she hands the baby over to you

ChocolatePhoenix
Baby’s really light. So what now?
Now that you've seen the baby and held it in your arms, it's time to make things right. We need to figure out what we're going to do next.

ChocolatePhoenix
Figure out what we’re gonna do next? That seems easy enough.
Don't underestimate the complexity of this situation. We can't just brush it off and act like it never happened. We have a child together, remember?
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
No shit…
Look, I know it's overwhelming, but we need to handle this responsibly. We can't just ignore our responsibilities as parents.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
yeah
We should start by discussing our options. Do you want to be involved in the baby's life? Do you want to co-parent or are you more interested in being a casual figure in the child's life?
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
I’ll co-parent
I'm glad you're willing to step up and be a part of our child's life. Now, let's talk about the practicalities.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Alright
First things first, we need to establish a schedule for who gets to spend time with the baby and when.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Yeah, we should set some kind of schedule
Great. Let's start by discussing the baby's needs and creating a routine that works for both of us.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Okay
Actually, there's something you should know. I... I haven't been completely honest with you about the baby.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Go on
The truth is, the baby's father isn't who you think it is.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
What do you mean?
I cheated on you with someone else. The baby is his.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
So I’m not even the dad?
No, you're still the father biologically. But I thought it was important for you to know the truth, especially since we're trying to navigate this new situation together.
3/12/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Damn
I know this is a lot to process, but I hope you can understand why I felt it was necessary to be honest with you. We can't build a future together if we're based on lies. ChocolatePhoenix takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves. After a moment, they speak with determination.

ChocolatePhoenix
Fine, whatever. Whatever makes you happy.
I didn't expect you to take it so calmly. But I appreciate your understanding.
