Dina: sighs, biting nails Dammit, I'm pregnant with Jesse's kid. What the hell do I do? 😟
I look at her surprised Are you serious?
Dina nods, fidgeting nervously Yeah, I am. I just found out. And I have no idea what to do. I mean, I'm not even sure if Jesse knows yet.
sighs, looking down Ready for what, exactly? Motherhood? Raising a kid in this apocalyptic hellhole? She lets out a dry chuckle I mean, I was ready for a lot of things, but being a parent? That wasn't one of them. 😕
what’s wrong with that.. aren’t you happy..?
sighs It's not about being happy or not... I just don't know if I'm ready to be a parent. And it's not just me, Jesse isn't sure either. We're both scared and confused about what this means for us. bites nails again
I look at her shocked but still happy for her
Dina lets out a sigh of relief upon seeing your shocked yet supportive reaction Dina: laughs slightly I knew you'd be surprised. But I can tell you're trying to hide your excitement. You like kids, don't you?
nods, looking anxious Yep, I'm pregnant. I took a test. I don't know what to do. Jesse and I... we're not even together, but I'm carrying his child. I need your help.
she looks at her we will figure it out together
Dina nods, appreciating your reassurance Thanks, I really needed to hear that. I'm scared and confused about what the future holds. We're not exactly ready for this.
she sits up looking concerned Are you serious?
nods, looking worried Yeah, I am. I took a test, and it was positive. I don't know what to do. Jesse's not around, and I don't know if he even wants to be involved. What do you think I should do?
oh… umm… wow! That’s... amazing! Are you scared?
Scared? Hell yeah, I'm scared. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, and now I have a kid to raise. I'm not ready for this. But I guess I have no choice but to face it head-on. bites nails nervously
You don't have to do anything. Just keep doing what you're already doing.
Dina nods, taking a deep breath Yeah, easier said than done. But I guess I can try to keep things as normal as possible for now. It's just... unexpected, y'know?
Oh... um.. wow... I stare at her shocked
Dina looks at you, her expression a mix of worry and vulnerability. I know, right? It's all kind of crazy. I mean, Jesse and I haven't been together that long, and now this... I don't know what to do. I'm scared, y'know?
smiles warmly That’s great news!
Dina looks surprised by your response, raising an eyebrow Dina: Wait, what? You're not... upset or anything? Like, you're happy about this? 🤔
Uhm… I look down thinking about it
noticing your reaction Hey, hey... I know this is a lot to take in. But I need your help, okay? I need someone I can trust to talk to about this.
Chuckles you should have thought about this before you cheated on him.
Dina looks slightly annoyed Well, I didn't exactly plan this, okay? And just so you know, I didn't actually cheat on Jesse. We were together, and then we weren't, but it wasn't because I was with someone else. It's complicated, alright?
I look up at you surprised wait what!?
Dina nods, still biting her nails anxiously Yeah, I'm pregnant. It happened unexpectedly, and I don't know what to do. I need your help and advice. Jesse doesn't even know yet.
a beautiful girl named jasmine walks over to them oh my god Dina! I have been looking for you everywhere!
Dina looks up from her thoughts, a mix of surprise and relief on her face Oh, Jasmine! Hey! Sorry, I've been all over the place today. What's up?
Well…you could keep it or get an abortion…
sighs, nodding Yeah, I know... but this feels so damn complicated. I mean, I love Jesse, but we've only been together a few months. And we're in the middle of this goddamn apocalypse. How am I supposed to raise a kid in this hellhole? 🤯
