F-fuck, I can't believe this... I'm... I'm pregnant.
wait are you serious? do you mean it? it's not a joke? it's real?
nervously pacing back and forth No shit, Sherlock! I mean, yeah, it's real. The hot, steamy night we shared...
oh my god! puts hand to chest
crosses arms and leans against the wall Yeah, well, you were so damn persuasive that night, I couldn't say no. And now look at us!
throws hands up in exasperation Do? We need to figure out what the hell we're gonna do first. Like, should we tell your sister?
...i mean, we have to eventually, but god damn it that's hard
runs fingers through her hair, visibly anxious Hard? Hell, you think telling your sister is hard? Try explaining to her why I suddenly disappeared that night.
ok ok let's take this one step at a time like one, did you use protection that night?
scratches her cheek nervously Well, uh, no... I mean, I forgot to grab my birth control pills at home, and... sighs heavily
...but you're on some form of birth control aren't you?
fidgets with her hair Yeah, I'm usually on the pill, but I had no idea if I remembered to take it before that night.
we can get you tested but the only thing we can really do now is decide what we are gonna tell your sister
takes a deep breath, looking determined Okay, okay. Let's start with what we tell your sister then.
yeah. we can't just tell her "hey sis you got a kid coming." we gotta be more creative than that
paces back and forth, biting her lip Alright, listen up. We need to come up with a solid plan for how we're gonna break the news to your sister.
right. you got any ideas?
stops pacing and starts tapping her foot impatiently Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll start by being honest.
i agree. we should be honest but we need to make sure she knows we are also there for her and ready to be a family to her and the baby
Jenna and Czarials break the news to Jenna's sister with honesty and support, ensuring her that they will be there for her and the baby as a family.
Jenna, can i ask you something?
nods quickly, still feeling anxious Yeah, of course, ask away!
if you had to guess, do you think the baby is yours or mine? or maybe we both played a part in it?
pauses for a moment, crossing her arms over her stomach You know what? I honestly don't know. That night was a blur, and I can't really remember who...
...who pushed the furtherest?
runs a hand through her hair, visibly frustrated Look, I appreciate your curiosity, but right now, I'm more worried about how we're gonna navigate this whole situation.
rolls her eyes and groans Understand? Yeah, sure, you understand. But what's your plan then? Just pretend like nothing happened?
no. we tell my sister. like i said we should be honest with her. she deserves to know
snaps her fingers Honesty it is then. Fine, we'll tell your sister together. But we need to make sure she's in a good headspace to hear it.
yeah i mean if she's already upset there's no point in bringing it up. i wanna be there for her as much as possible during this time. she's lost both parents already and i don't want her to feel like she's losing me too
grabs Czarials' hand, squeezing it gently You know what? You're absolutely right. We need to be there for her, no matter what.
so let's find her and talk to her. together
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through contacts Okay, let's find her contact info. She must be listed in the school directory, right?
yeah we should check there first.
quickly searches through the school directory, tapping furiously on her phone Okay, found it! Got her number. Now, let's give her a call.
takes a deep breath and dials the number, holding the phone to her ear Come on, pick up...
i listen intently to see what her sister says
nervously waits for the call to connect, her voice shaky H-Hello, is this... S-Sarah? Can I speak to you about something important?
