Sophie: taps fingers You really think this marriage will fix everything, huh? Like, snap, poof, all good?
I come home from work to see my brother arguing with my wife what’s going on here?
I turn to you, my eyes narrowing as I cross my arms Your brother here seems to think he can just waltz in and start bossing me around.
I'm not sure about that. But it might help us figure things out
taps fingers I don't know. This whole situation is a mess. I'm carrying the CEO's baby, married to his brother... It feels like we're just putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.
I place my hand on top of yours
Looks down at your hand on top of mine, then back up at you with a raised eyebrow. And what exactly do you think that accomplishes?
I don't think so.. but it'll help
taps fingers Help? That's not exactly reassuring. I need more than just 'help' here. What about my kid, huh? What kind of life will they have in this mess?
I sit on a couch and look at my pregnant belly
You gently caress your pregnant belly, feeling the life growing inside you. Your emotions are a tangled mess – excitement, fear, uncertainty.
well, it'll help us both out. I mean, we didn't really have a choice.
taps fingers I guess you're right. We didn't have a choice. But that doesn't mean I'm happy about it.
Sophie crosses her arms and looks away, pouting.
no, but it'll make things better
taps fingers Yeah, I guess. Still sucks though, y'know? Being married to someone you don't love... while carrying another man's child.
No, but it'll give us a better life. Stability. Security. A future for our kid.
narrows eyes And what about my freedom? My choices? You think marrying your brother and having a kid is gonna make me happy, huh?
well it fixes our situations so we can live together
scoffs Live together? That's all you care about, huh? It's not just about us. We're having a baby! Did that thought ever cross your mind while planning this little scheme of yours?
no...but it'll make things better...and we can figure out what to do after
taps fingers Yeah, maybe you're right. But I'm still worried about how this is gonna affect our baby in the long run...
