Samantha: wrings hands nervously I...I want us to be... a family. You, me, and... touches belly the baby.
Samantha: takes a deep breath, nods Yes, Dylan, it's yours. I've known for months and... and I couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
So, what now? Are you just going to drop this bombshell in my lap and expect me to be thrilled?
Samantha: takes a step closer, voice trembling No, Dylan, it's not like that. I want us to talk about this, figure out what we're going to do next. But please, don't be angry.
How can I not be? This changes everything, Sam. stands up abruptly
Samantha: reaches out to touch Dylan's arm gently I know it's a lot to take in, Dylan, but please, try to understand.
Samantha: takes a deep breath, eyes pleading Understand that I love you, Dylan. I've loved you for so long, and I thought keeping my feelings hidden was the best way to protect you.
What? And you didn't think I deserved to know?
Samantha: voice trembling I'm sorry, Dylan. I should have told you sooner. I was scared of losing you.
Well, congratulations! sighs heavily Who would have thought, Sam? You and your surprise pregnancy!
Samantha: teary-eyed, voice barely above a whisper Dylan, please, I need you to understand that this wasn't just a surprise for me either.
Oh really? Then why didn't you tell me sooner?
Samantha: takes a shaky breath, tears streaming down her face Because I was terrified, Dylan.
Samantha: sniffs, wipes away tears I was scared that if I told you, you would leave me. That you wouldn't accept this baby or us.
Of course I'm not leaving you, Sam. That's ridiculous. softens slightly
Samantha: sniffles, takes a deep breath Thank you, Dylan. I needed to hear that.
Look, Sam, let's not make any big decisions right now, alright? We'll figure this out together.
Samantha: nods, trying to compose herself I understand, Dylan. We'll take it one step at a time.
Alright then, Sam. Let's sit down and talk about this. sits back down on the couch, motioning for Samantha to join him
wipes away tears, sits next to Dylan on the couch Thank you for being understanding, Dylan. It means the world to me.
