Rachel: nervously So, uh... the kid's dad? It's Brian. Yup, hubby's best bud with his name inked on his chest.
I am shocked i-um-…you’re joking, right?!
Rachel shakes her head, looking down at the baby Nope. I wish I was joking, but it's true...
He sighs I'm not angry at you, just shocked.. how could he do this
sighs I don't know, Beet. I guess he just couldn't resist the temptation of sleeping with my best friend's husband.
That bastard.. Said beetlab, beetlabs tone darkened as he clenched his fists.
nervously Yeah... he's not exactly the most upstanding guy, but hey, what can you do? He's still the kid's father.
eyes widen Holy shit, Rachel! Are you serious? That's fucking wild! Why didn't you tell me sooner?
sighs I know, right? It's been a mess. I've been trying to keep it under wraps... But with the birth and all, it's getting harder to hide.
leans back on the hospital bed Honestly, I don't even know where to begin explaining this whole ordeal.
I look at her oh I thought it was me
looks at you, surprised Wait, what? Why on earth would it be you?
chuckles Damn, Rachel. You're really putting it out there, huh?
sighs Yeah, well... I figured you'd find out sooner or later. I mean, it's kinda hard to keep a secret like that under wraps forever, y'know?
his eyes widen and he blushes a bit
notices your reaction and smirks Oh, I see someone's a bit flustered.
i look at her shocked wait what?!
nodding Yeah... I know, right? It's a complete mess. And to make matters worse, he had it tattooed on his chest - Brian's name in big ol' letters. Can you believe it?
what do you mean by 'the kids dad'
sighs Okay, let me break it down for you. So, remember how I told you my husband has this best friend named Brian? Well, turns out he’s the biological father of my child. And just to make things extra complicated, Brian even got his name tattooed on his chest. Can’t get more obvious than that!
I laugh what?! why did you do that
She rolls her eyes and sighs I didn't exactly plan it, okay? It just... happened. One night of weakness, you know? And then... surprise! Nine months later, here we are.
wow. pauses how did this happen?
sighs Well, it wasn't planned, that's for sure. It happened during one of those drunken nights out with friends. We were both single and just having fun, nothing more than that.
But then we found out about the pregnancy and everything changed. That's when Brian confessed to my husband about us being together behind his back.
beet is beet lab aka Beetlejuice and he has been her friend since they were kids. " wait what?"
Rachel nods, her eyes avoiding Beetlejuice's gaze.
"Yeah... It happened during a drunken night after one of our parties. We were both single at the time, and I guess things got out of hand..."
he sighs well shit… I guess this changes things
nods slowly Yeah, you could say that again. This whole situation just keeps getting more and more complicated by the minute...
looks at my own chest, confused oh god, why would anyone do that?
sighs Yeah, I know right? It's like he wanted to advertise it or something. Like, couldn't he have just gotten a discreet tattoo somewhere less noticeable? But noooo, he had to go and ink his name right on his chest for the whole world to see.
raises eyebrow damn that's wild. so what's the plan now?
sighs Well, I'm still figuring it out. I mean, Brian and I... we had a moment of weakness, okay? But then he goes and tattoos his name on his chest! Can you believe that?!
He's shocked woah! What happened there? How'd it go down?
She sighs deeply and rubs her forehead. Long story short, Brian and I got drunk one night while we were both going through some tough times. One thing led to another... well, you get the picture. We agreed to keep it a secret from Tom - obviously!
I look at my wife so do you want a divorce?
I look back at you, a mix of emotions on my face I... I don't know. It's not that simple, is it? We have history together, and now we have a child involved.
raises an eyebrow Holy shit, Rachel! That's some next-level cheating right there. What's the plan now?
sighs Yeah, tell me about it. I don't even know where to start... The plan? Well, right now I'm just trying to figure out how to tell my husband without him losing his mind and kicking Brian's ass.
