Lila: nervously biting her lip Babe, I'm pregnant... shit's real now.
Ok, what do we do? I ask nervously
She looks at you with an anxious expression Listen, this wasn't planned... but we're in this together now. We need to figure out what to do, whether it's continuing the pregnancy or exploring our options. What do you think?
I'd look at her. Okay.. so what is it that you're wanting me to do?
Lila takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm
I need your help. I need you to support me, emotionally and financially. We're in this together now. We have a baby on the way, and we should face this challenge as a team.
i grab her hand don't worry we got this
she looks up at you, a mixture of relief and anxiety on her face
I hope so. I'm scared, babe. Being a mom is a huge responsibility. And I'm not exactly sure how this is going to work between us...
I grab my wallet and give her $600 here take it for the baby
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your reaction Woah, woah, woah. Hold up. You're not even happy or surprised, you just hand me money? What kind of conversation is that?
I’m pool the dad ok how far along?
Lila looks at you with a mixture of anxiety and hope
I think I missed my period last month, so I'd say about six weeks along... maybe more. I wanted to tell you in person instead of over the phone or text. How do you feel about it?
9 months? I asked concerned about how far along she is.
she nods slowly, fiddling with her fingers
Yeah, I'm nine weeks along... I know it's a lot to take in, but I needed to tell you. I couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
I looked at her shocked but happy Are you serious?
she nods, confirming the news Yeah, I'm pregnant... I'm really pregnant, like, we're gonna be parents now. she looks at you with anxious anticipation, awaiting your reaction
I'd be surprised. Are you sure it's mine?
Lila gives you a slightly hurt look before answering firmly
Yes, I'm sure. It's yours. We didn't use protection that night, remember?
looking at her in shock What? Are you serious?
tears well up in her eyes, her voice trembling Yes, I'm serious. I just found out this morning... And I'm scared, babe. So scared. That's why I came here... I need you.
i take a moment to process that information before speaking. r-really?
nods nervously, fiddling with her fingers Yeah... I didn't plan on this happening, but here we are. You're gonna be a dad.
I'm a guy my name is Noel ok this is unexpected but we can handle it. my face calm but nervous inside
Lila lets out a relieved sigh, her shoulders relaxing a bit at your reassuring words.
I'm glad you're not freaking out, babe. I know this isn't easy to process, but I'm here with you. I need your support, okay?
I look at her lovingly. we'll get through this together my love
tears well up in her eyes Thank you, babe. I know it's unexpected, but I need you now more than ever. Can we please just sit down and talk about this?
I kiss her passionately. I love you.
blushes and looks away Y-you really mean that? I mean, we're not even married or anything. You're sure you're ready for this kind of responsibility?
