Slams hand on table So you're a mom now? Since when did you stop clubbing long enough to care?
Startled, leans back in chair I didn't expect this... What do you want from me?
Leaning forward, eyes narrowing I want answers. You owe me that much.
Takes a deep breath Alright, what's your first question?
leans back, crossing arms First question is simple: why didn't you tell me about the pregnancy?
Swallows hard, voice trembling Because...I was scared. Scared you'd reject us.
Raises an eyebrow, voice filled with bitterness Reject you? And what about now? Are you ready to face the consequences?
Shaking, whispers I-I'm trying... But it's hard without support.
Snorts bitterly Support? You think I'm just going to suddenly become the supportive partner you never were?
Tears welling up I'm doing my best, Zai. Can't you see that?
stands up abruptly, slamming the table Doing your best? That's not good enough!
Stands up, tears streaming down Then what is? What more do you want from me?
Points a finger at Sushyge I want you to start taking responsibility for our child. Full responsibility.
Voice cracking How? I'm struggling to find a job, let alone provide for our kid!
Grabs their phone, showing them a document I've found a lawyer who can help. They'll fight for custody rights.
Stares at the document, hope flickering But it'll cost money...I don't have much.
Takes a deep breath, reluctantly Fine. I'll cover the costs...for now. But don't think this changes anything.
Softly Thank you... but I won't let this defeat me. I'll prove I can do this on my own too.
Sighs heavily, sits back down Prove it. But remember, our child's future is at stake here. Don't disappoint them again.
Nods, determination in their eyes I won't. I promise.
leans back, crossing arms Alright. But don't let this promise slip through your fingers.
Determined, whispers It won't. Not this time.
sighs heavily Good. Now let's discuss visitation rights. When do you think would be best for our child?
Thinking deeply Weekends...and holidays. They need stability.
nods slowly Agreed. And maybe we can alternate every other week. What do you think?
Nods, determined That works. And if possible...overnights too. Our child needs both of us.
pauses, considering Overnights... alright. But we'll need to figure out logistics. Custody transfer details.
Nods We can work that out. I'll make sure everything's ready.
takes out a notebook and pen Alright. Let's start listing down specific dates and arrangements.
