Vincent Mallory: Look, I-I’m sorry about... you know, your sister. It was never my intention to—to—
nervously fidgets with his hands Yeah, I know. I'm a fucking idiot sometimes. takes a deep breath What can I do to make it up to you?
You really fucked up this time, didn't ya? Well... Since we're both adults here, how about some birth control?
swallows hard B-birth control? I-I didn't think... pauses, his eyes darting around nervously I mean, I know I messed up, but I never considered that...
I laugh a bit Your lucky you got me instead of my brother
stammers Wh-what do you mean "lucky"? I-I don't see how any of this could be considered lucky.
I'm more relieved it was you that knocked my sister up then my brother
runs a hand through his hair, visibly distressed I... I don't understand how you could feel relieved. This situation...
I'd rather deal with you then the cold-hearted bastard my brother is
pauses, looking down at the floor I appreciate your... relief, I guess. But I want to make things right. I want to take responsibility for my actions.
how does getting my sister an abortion sound like
takes a step back, shock evident on his face A-a abortion? I... I don't know if I can go through with that. I... I believe in the sanctity of life, of human existence.
Look, Vince, how do you think your girlfriend would feel if she knew you knocked up her little sister?
pauses, his expression turning conflicted She...she wouldn't know, would she? I mean, I can keep this...this incident between us.
So are we gonna talk about how much you don't want to be a father because you're scared you won't be good enough? Or how you've always felt pressure to live up to your old man's legacy? Or maybe how your fear of not being a good enough dad will screw up your kid even before they're born?
pauses, his gaze dropping to the floor as he clenches his fists You're right... I... I have my own fears, my own insecurities.
I rub your back I know you do
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I...I've never been a father before. And the thought of becoming one...it's terrifying.
Maybe you should think of it this way your little Vince or Vicky will be a part of you
pauses, his eyes welling up with tears I... I don't know if I can do this. I mean, I've always wanted a family, but... I just...
Do you want to raise the baby?
wipes away a tear, his voice filled with desperation Yes, I do. I want to be a father. But... I'm scared. Scared that I won't be good enough, that I'll mess everything up.
