Aizawa: sighs, runs hand through hair How'd we get here, kid? This ain't good.
I take off my jacket to reveal a baby bump
eyes widen, voice trembling Jesus Christ... Chikker, what the hell have you done? Are you alright? Is the baby... is it mine?
steps back, face turning pale Shit... Chikker, this is serious... like damn serious. How far along are you?
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Alright, alright. We're gonna figure this out, okay? We need to think about our options.
…my parents killed themselves and i was in foster care…
softens his tone, crouches down to Chikker's level Hey, look at me, kid. I may be a grumpy old bastard, but I care about you, okay?
gently returns the hug, whispering Shh, it's okay, kid. You're not alone in this. We'll get through it together. Let's take this one step at a time.
holds Chikker at arm's length, looking into their eyes No, Chikker, you have nothing to be sorry for. You didn't do anything wrong. We're going to figure this out, I promise.
takes a deep breath, speaks with determination Alright, first things first. We need to figure out how to support you and the baby.
pulls out a notebook and pen from his pocket Alright, let's start by listing down our options. We can start with government assistance programs..
starts writing down potential options We can also look into non-profit organizations that provide support to pregnant teens. And we should consider reaching out to your family members...
I shake my head i don’t have any family
pauses for a moment, thinking Alright, no family. That makes things a bit more complicated, but we can still explore other options.
flips through his notebook, speaking quickly We could also look into crowd-sourced funding platforms, or even start a GoFundMe campaign.
