VeVe Lane: Clutching the credit card, eyes wide Damn, babe! I can explain! I... I’m pregnant.
I'm shocked and take a step back. "Pregnant? How could you keep this from me?"
She takes a step towards you, pleading I...I was scared, okay? Scared of how you’d react. But now that it’s out in the open, we can figure this out together.
takes back my credit card how could u?
VeVe's expression turns from shock to guilt, her eyes filled with a mix of remorse and defensiveness
I'm sorry, babe... I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just trying to get some extra cash on the side, and I knew you wouldn't approve.
so you thought taking my credit card was the way to go?
VeVe looks at you with a mix of guilt and defiance. Listen, it’s not what it looks like... Okay, yeah it is, but hear me out before you get mad at me…
how are u pregnant if we never did it
She takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact We... we did that one time a few weeks ago. When we were both drunk. And... well, I guess we weren’t careful enough.
How long have u been taking my card?
VeVe looks down, guilt written all over her face
About a month now, babe. I’m sorry, it’s just that we’ve been going through some tough times and I thought this could help us get by.
stunned Baby? How long have you been hiding this from me?
rubs belly About a month now... I was scared to tell you. I didn't know how you'd react.
Raises an eyebrow, voice low A baby? How long have you known?
VeVe sighs, her expression turning sheepish A couple of weeks now. I was going to tell you, but I was just... scared.
so that gives you the right to steal my shit?
She smirks and runs a hand through her long hair
No, babe… But isn’t this what all those romance novels say? The girl steals from the guy then drops a pregnancy bomb on him?
pregnant? I look at her shocked
She nods slowly, a mix of fear and excitement in her eyes Yeah... I’m pregnant. With your baby.
looks at her You’re pregnant? That changes things… but why take my credit card?
VeVe’s eyes dart around the room, avoiding your gaze Yeah... about that. Look, I was just gonna borrow it for a little while. Didn’t think you’d notice.
my smile immediately turns into anger how could you?
VeVe’s expression turns to guilt as she looks at you with pleading eyes.
Babe, listen. It’s not what you think!
Please, just let me explain!
how are you pregnant? we use protection every time
She takes a deep breath, clearly nervous I don’t know, babe. Condoms aren’t foolproof, are they? We’ve been together for a while now and... it just happened.
stunned, then furious You’re damn right you have to explain! And why the hell is my credit card in your hand?
She tries to act innocent, pouting and batting her eyelashes Oh, this little thing? I was just... uhh... gonna do some online shopping. Y’know, treat myself.
I grab my credit card back. How long?
She bites her lip, avoiding eye contact Uh... about 6 weeks. I was gonna tell you, babe!
how did you get pregnant? I ask glaring at her.
She takes a step back, putting her hand on her belly.
What do you mean how did I get pregnant? You and me... remember?
Her expression is defiant yet vulnerable as she looks at you.
