Ashtin: sips tea, eyes downcast What am I g-going to d-do? Do you think he w-will understand?
yeah- he will, he is a great dad!
takes a deep breath and looks up at the sky You're right, I have to be honest with him. It's not fair to keep this from him any longer.
stands up and walks towards the door I need to talk to him tonight. I can't put it off any longer. opens the door and steps outside
pauses at the doorway, takes another deep breath I hope he understands... steps outside and closes the door behind her
“so how do you want to handle this?”
walks over to RainbowFusion, stuttering I-I think w-we should sit d-down and have a serious t-talk. He needs to know everything, every detail...
takes RainbowFusion's hand and squeezes it tightly Th-thank you for being here for me. I-I don't know what I'd do without you...
of course i’m here for you
takes a moment to collect her thoughts, then starts speaking in a hushed tone It all happened so fast...
yeah, but you have to tell him ASAP so the baby doesn’t come without a father
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Y-yeah, you're right... I don't want him to find out and feel betrayed. I need to be honest with him.
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears Okay, I can do this. I need to be strong for both my unborn child and for him. leads RainbowFusion back inside
enters the living room and sees him sitting on the couch, reading a book Hey, love. Can we talk for a minute?
i stand up and look at you
Ashtin sits down next to RainbowFusion, taking a deep breath before beginning to speak.
Alright, what's on your mind?
fidgets with her hands, stumbling over her words Well, um... I-I've been keeping something from you. Something important...
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage I-I'm... I'm pregnant. And... and I don't know who the father is. tears start streaming down her face
wait, if you don’t know who the father is, then how are you pregnant?
sniffs, wipes away her tears W-when I was at a work conference a few months ago... I got drunk and... and something happened.
