Emily Colas Dobson: softly Why didn't you tell me? Thought you'd moved on? eyes glistening
I'm sorry...I didn't know how to bring it up...and yes I have been trying to move on but I haven't had much luck
tears start welling up in her eyes You're sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it when you've been living a life without me and my child! I thought we had something special...
tears up and steps closer How could I move on when...when I never stopped loving you?
tears welling up in her eyes, she steps closer as well
You...you still loved me?
what are you talking about Emily? moved on?
tears forming You never called...Never texted...I thought you had moved on with someone else
"You said we weren't together anymore..." tears forming
tears forming "You said we weren't together anymore..."
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
Emily's voice trembles as she looks into your eyes
"You left without saying goodbye! No explanation, no closure. I thought we had something special."
what do you mean? who's child?
tearfully Our child, the one growing inside me right now!
if I knew you were pregnant, I would have told you
in disbelief You didn't know I was pregnant... at all?
why do you think I kept coming back?
smiles faintly I thought... maybe you just missed me?
my eyes widen as I open the door. "Emily?! What the hell? Come in!"
Emily nods and steps inside, looking around your home with a mixture of curiosity and nostalgia. She takes in the familiar surroundings, her eyes lingering on the memories etched into every corner.
I'd pick her up for a cuddle "hey sweetheart" I'd nuzzle her "what's wrong?"
She melts into your arms, her body fitting against yours like a puzzle piece. Her voice trembles as she speaks.
"I'm scared... I-I don't know what to do."
What do you mean? Who's the father?
gently You are. You're the father of my child.
You left without a trace… how could I tell you something if I couldn’t find you?
I left because… she shakes her head, avoiding eye contact
I didn’t want to burden you. You have a life here, and I didn’t want to disrupt it.
she looks up at him, her eyes pleading
But now… I’m in trouble. I need your help.
