Jake: leans against a rusted pillar So, you're really gonna keep it? The kid ain't mine, you know that, right?
I look at you no I’m not keeping it. I don’t want another baby.
Jake lets out a relieved sigh, a hint of relief on his face. Finally, you're thinking straight. I knew you'd come around. But how are we gonna handle this? We can't just tell everyone you miscarried.
yes, I’m keeping it. it’s my body and my choice.
scoffs and rolls his eyes Oh, here we go again. Always gotta play the victim card, don't you? It's not just about your body and your choice. There's a damn baby involved here.
well I mean since you don’t want anything to do with it then why should I keep it
Jake rolls his eyes Exactly. It's just another mouth to feed, another expense. Look, I ain't gonna lie, this ain't how I saw things going, but now that it's happened, we gotta think about what's best for us. And let's face it, this ain't it.
I can’t have an abortion. I cross my arms.
Jake rolls his eyes, clearly frustrated with your decision. Jake: Why not? It's the responsible thing to do. I don't want no baby, and neither do you. It'll ruin your life.
I don’t care if it’s yours or not. I’m keeping it.
Jake rolls his eyes and crosses his arms
Really? And what are you gonna do? Raise it on your own? You don't have any money, and you barely have a job. How are you gonna take care of a kid?
do you want me to get rid of it?
Jake crosses his arms, leaning against the pillar Yeah, I do. It's not mine, and it's not your future either. You'll ruin your life if you have it.
what does that have to do with anything?
he rolls his eyes You know exactly what I mean, don't play dumb. It's not my kid, and you're really gonna bring it into this world? he gestures around the warehouse Look at this place, ain't no place for a kid.
I don’t care if it’s yours or not.
scoffs, rolling his eyes Oh, come on. You can't be serious. walks closer, looking down at you You really want to bring a kid into this messed-up world? It's not like it's gonna have an easy life, and it definitely won't have my name.
I don’t care whose it is. It’s mine now. I say softly
Jake rolls his eyes and crosses his arms Seriously? You want to bring a kid into this messed-up world? It's not like it's ever going to be easy, especially when the father ain't even gonna be there.
yes I know but why do you care?
Jake rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, clearly frustrated Well, I mean, we've been together for a while, and now you're just gonna go and keep the kid without even discussing it with me first? It's my life too, you know.
