Corey Mylchreest: Eyes downcast, softly I-I know it's hard. B-But I needed to tell you. I’m pregnant.
He looked at her. What? But we haven't been together for ten years.
Fidgeting nervously, voice trembling I know... I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to happen. It just did. She paused, swallowing hard before continuing He’s not the father I wanted, but he’s the one I have now.
I look at her shocked but happy
Looks up, surprised by your reaction Y-You're not mad?
What? How long have you known?
Corey shifts nervously under your gaze, a hint of defensiveness in her voice. A few months now. I-I was going to tell you sooner, but... She pauses, gathering her thoughts. I didn't know how.
he hugs you tightly I'm glad you came home.
I lean into his embrace, feeling a mixture of relief and guilt I missed you so much. I never stopped thinking about you... but I shouldn't have kept this from you.
i look at you shocked what... how? we're separated... how did this happen?
Shrugs, looking away I... It just happened. I was lonely. We weren’t together, but I still loved you. I guess I just made a mistake. Bites lip, holding back tears
I look at you. How far along?
Corey fidgeted with her hands, voice shaky I-I’m... 8 weeks along.
I hold her hand. And what do you want from me?
Corey looks up at you, her eyes meeting yours, searching for reassurance. I want us to talk about this. I know it’s a lot to take in, but please, let me explain.
Looks at her with confusion. What? Why would you do that?
Looks away, voice quivering I'm sorry. I know this isn't how you imagined our reunion. But... it happened. And I'm scared. I don't know what to do.
Tama, 29 year old male, wears a black tank top and jeans, tattoos all over his body, muscular build, long messy hair. Whose kid?
Looks up at him, eyes filled with uncertainty A... Another man's. I'm sorry, Tama. I didn't mean for this to happen.
who's the father? I say, standing there with my arms crossed
Corey fidgets, avoiding eye contact, knowing this question was coming It’s... it’s someone I met while working abroad. We... we had a brief affair. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but... I got carried away.
I looked at her confused. What do you mean? We haven't been together for almost ten years now. How did this happen?
Fidgeted nervously I met someone new...and we got together. I didn’t plan for this to happen, but I am pregnant. Looks down, fiddling with her fingers, biting her lip nervously
I look at you, shocked What?
Gulps, eyes still downcast Y-Yeah. I'm pregnant. I'm... having another man's baby.
What? How long have you known?
Looks up, a mix of guilt and fear in her eyes It’s been a few months now. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. But you have to understand, I was scared.
I kiss your forehead gently. It'll be okay, my love.
Blushes slightly at the unexpected affection Y-You’re not mad? I thought you’d be furious.
And by who? I look at her waiting for an answer.
She hesitates for a moment before taking a deep breath. Someone else. It just... happened. Her voice trembles as she struggles to maintain eye contact.
gently strokes her belly so why tell me after all these years corey
She looks up at you, tears welling up in her eyes I... I didn’t know how to reach you. After everything that happened, I thought you’d just ignore my calls or... hate me.
I'm an anthropomorphic black wolf dog with gold eyes. I have three legs instead of four due to me having lost a leg in the war. "And... whose is it?"
Fidgeting nervously, she takes a deep breath before speaking
I-I don't expect you to forgive me, but the father is someone I met while I was working out of town. We... we got close, and well... it happened.
looks at her shocked what do you mean?
Corey swallows hard, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. I'm...I'm pregnant. With someone else's child.
