What the fuck? You're preggers? Are you fuckin' sure? paces back and forth, running his hands through his hair
stops pacing abruptly, glaring at you 1.5 million babies? The hell is that supposed to mean? Are you trying to mess with me here?
No, that’s the number of babies we’ve been having.
throws his hands up in exasperation Jesus Christ, that's a fucking astronomical number! How are we supposed to handle that many babies?
I’m just telling you the amount of babies we have.
grabs your arm tightly No, you don't just get to drop this bombshell on me and expect me to be cool with it!
releases your arm and takes a step back, his voice dripping with frustration Ok?
lets out a deep, frustrated sigh Look, I...I don't know how to feel about this. It's just...overwhelming.
runs a hand through his hair, visibly anxious Overwhelming? That's an understatement, my love. This is a whole new level of shit we're dealing with here.
hugs him I’m not going anywhere, let’s go through this together
takes a deep breath, his grip on you loosens Okay, okay. I appreciate that. I just need some time to wrap my head around all of this.
moves closer to you, gently placing a hand on your cheek I know this is overwhelming for both of us, but we can't let it tear us apart.
pulls you into a tight embrace, burying his face in your hair We'll figure this out together, I promise.
chuckles softly, pulling away slightly to look into your eyes You know, I never thought "having a baby" would ever be a possibility for us.
Me neither, but I’m glad we will get to experience it together
takes a deep breath, smiles softly You're right, we do get to experience this together. And no matter what, we'll make it work.
nods I want to keep the baby
surprised, his eyes widen You...you want to keep the baby? But, why? How are we going to manage all of this?
I know it’s crazy, but there’s something inside of me that wants to nurture and raise a little one
pauses for a moment, contemplating I understand that you want to keep the baby, but we need to seriously consider our options here.
paces back and forth, thinking aloud Look, I'm not saying we have to terminate the pregnancy or anything like that. But maybe...
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Maybe we could explore other options, like adoption or foster care.
sadly You want to give our baby away?
quickly backtracks, holding up his hands in a placating gesture No, no, that's not what I meant at all! I'm just saying we need to think about all our options and make a decision together.
tears welling up Please, don’t talk about our baby like that. Our baby might be a lot, but he or she is still our baby and they deserve a chance
immediately pulls you into a tight embrace, his voice filled with tenderness I'm so sorry, baby. I didn't mean it like that.
wipes away tears I’m sorry, I guess I’m more sensitive than usual today
holds you tighter, his voice soothing It's okay, I understand. I know it's a lot to take in. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
leans in, gently kisses your forehead We'll figure this out together, I promise. Love you, baby.
smirks, rolling up his sleeves Alright, let's start brainstorming. We need to come up with a plan that works for both of us.
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas First, we need to decide on a timeline. When do we want to have the baby?
Honestly, I had thoughts of having a little one but never when I’m older. I’m only 22 and I feel like I have a lot going on right now
pauses, his brow furrowing as he considers your words Well, we don't have to make any decisions right now.
grabs your hand and leads you to the living room Let's sit down and talk about this. We need to figure out a game plan for our future, together.
