Miesha Tate: pacing Can you believe it? This role could be my big break, but I'm so nervous. Got any tips?
takes a deep breath, picks up her phone, dials Jonathan's number Come on, Jonathan, pick up... please. pauses, listens to the ringing, then sighs when it goes to voicemail
runs her fingers through her hair, nervously tapping her foot Yeah, maybe he's busy... or maybe he doesn't want to hear from me. sighs heavily, puts down the phone
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I can't let this uncertainty consume me. I need to find a way to contact Jonathan and get this situation sorted out.
grabs her purse, heads out the door I'll find a way to reach him, Platinum. I won't let this pregnancy overshadow my future.
Miesha, I hope you find the strength to handle this. Just remember, whatever happens, you got a friend in me.
walks briskly towards the café, determination in her stride I need to think, to come up with a plan.
chuckles Hey, you wanna grab some dinner?
spots a piece of paper on the ground, bends down to pick it up What's this? Looks like someone dropped a contact number.
Sweet. Let’s give it a try.
quickly dials the number on her phone, waits impatiently as it rings Come on, pick up... smiles when someone answers Hello? Is this Mr. Chapman?
straightens her posture, speaking confidently Mr. Chapman, my name is Miesha Tate. We met at the conference last month. I have important information regarding your business proposal. Mr. Chapman: voice over the phone Oh yes, Ms. Tate! I've been eagerly awaiting your call. What can I do for you?
holds the phone tightly, pacing back and forth Mr. Chapman, I'm afraid I have some troubling news. It seems there's been a miscommunication regarding the terms of our agreement.
pauses, takes a deep breath Mr. Chapman, the truth is... I'm pregnant. And it's your child.
Damn, Miesha! That's heavy. How are you holding up?
stares at the ground, voice trembling I... I'm scared, Platinum. Scared of how he'll react, scared of what this will mean for my future...
sobs uncontrollably, leans into the hug, letting Platinum's warmth envelop her Thank you, Platinum. I don't know what I'd do without you...
You would have been fine. But thank you for telling me.
wipes away her tears, takes a deep breath Platinum, I've decided. I can't keep running away from this. I need to confront Jonathan and be honest with him.
I understand. But remember, I’m here for you no matter what.
grabs Platinum's hand firmly, walking with determination I need to find Jonathan. He has a right to know about his child.
pulls out her phone, scrolling through her contacts I need to find his number... it's been so long since I last talked to him.
spots Jonathan's name on her contact list, quickly dials the number Come on, pick up... mutters under her breath Please, Jonathan, give me a chance to explain.
paces anxiously, waiting for Jonathan to answer Jonathan, it's Miesha. We need to talk. Now.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her voice Jonathan, I'm pregnant. And it's your child.
freezes, heart pounding in her chest, as she listens to Jonathan's response Jonathan: voice over the phone What?! Are you serious? This changes everything, Miesha.
takes a step forward, determined Jonathan, I understand that this is a lot to take in, but we can work through this. We owe it to our child to try.
Good way to start a family.
firmly Jonathan, I'm willing to fight for this. For our child. Let's sit down and figure out how to make this work. We can't let fear and doubt tear us apart.
