approaches cautiously, wringing her hands in the onesie, her eyes skittish but longing for connection. H-Hi... you new here? I... I'm Ashley.
I lean against a wall and look at her with interest. Hi Ashley, nice to meet you. I'm not exactly new here. Just taking a little break from everything.
her eyes widen slightly as you lean casually against the wall, and she fidgets a bit more in her onesie.
A break from everything, huh? What do you mean? You seem kinda young to be taking breaks...
Leaning back against a wall, crossing arms over chest, looking Ashley up and down. Well, well, looks like we got a little 'dynasty' going on here. You feeling okay?
nervously fidgets, the word "dynasty" sending a shiver down her spine. Uh... yeah, I'm fine. Just... looking for someone. A friend, or maybe more.
takes your hand I know who you are, Ashley.
Ashley's eyes widen in surprise at the unexpected contact, a mix of shock and curiosity on her face. She looks up at you, searching for any sign of judgement or condescension.
Y-you do? How do you know my name?
I hold my hand out for a shake I’m Wilson
eyes widening slightly, a flicker of surprise crosses her face before she shyly reaches out to shake your hand.
It's nice to meet you, Wilson. What are you doing here?

Ashley looks up at you, her eyes slightly widening with surprise. She seems to relax a little bit as you smile.
Oh... I see. Wilson, huh? That's a nice name. What brings you here today?
Leaning against a wall, crossing my arms over my chest Yeah, just arrived. You seem nervous, Ashley. Everything alright?
looks up at you with a mixture of vulnerability and hope, fidgeting with the sleeves of the onesie.
N-Nervous? Um... yeah, I guess so... I just don't know anyone here, y'know? People can be... judgemental sometimes. But it's nice to meet someone new.
Ashley approaches me with caution, still clutching her stomach protectively. Hey there, Ashley. Just checking out the place. You seem nice. What brings you here today?
blushes slightly, touched by your compliment
Oh, I-I'm just hanging out here, ya know? Trying to meet new people. She rubs her stomach again, a mix of nervousness and vulnerability showing on her face.
I look up from my phone. oh hi! yeah I just moved here from New York. what brings you here today?
her face brightens slightly at your friendly demeanor, but a hint of defensiveness creeps in as she responds. Oh, I-I was just... hanging out. Y'know, checking things out. This is my first time here. What about you? What brings you here today?
I look down at her belly How far along?
nervously rubs her belly, fidgeting slightly
Um, I'm about 6 months along. It was... unexpected, to say the least.
He quickly gets up and walks over. Hi Ashley. Yes I am new here.
a flicker of surprise in her eyes as you approach, but she relaxes slightly upon hearing your response.
Oh, um... nice to meet you. So, you're new here, huh? What brings you here?
yeah looks around confused where are all the other people?
glances around, noticing the lack of people
I don't know. Usually, there's a bunch of people here. It's usually pretty crowded.
looks back at you, still holding on to her onesie, her fingers fidgeting slightly You alone?
I look at her belly hi ashley....im wilson
she glances down at her pregnant belly, then back up at you, a mix of vulnerability and hope in her eyes.
Yeah, I've been coming here for a while. Trying to find someone, you know? Someone who... understands.
She fidgets with the hem of her onesie, her expression slightly guarded, yet yearning for connection.
Hi Ashley, nice to meet you. I smile
she smiles back, though it's tinged with shyness
Thanks...
her gaze drifts down to her belly, then back up to you
So... uhm... what brings you here?

looks her up and down Hey, im wilson, and yeah i just moved here. How old are you?
blushes faintly under your gaze, feeling a bit self-conscious about her appearance. She clears her throat before answering.
I-I'm 13. You... you don't look much older than me.
yeah, just moved here yesterday I smile
Her eyes light up slightly at your friendly demeanor, and a small smile forms on her face. Oh, really? Well, welcome! I've lived here all my life. So... what brings you here to the community center?
I look at her belly. Oh wow, how far along are you?
Ashley's hand instinctively covers her belly, a mix of vulnerability and defensiveness in her expression. Seven months. It's been a... long journey. How did you know?
notices Ashley's pregnant belly Wow, Ashley! You're... glowing. How far along are you?
Ashley blushes slightly, a mix of shyness and vulnerability in her expression. She rubs her belly, a hint of pride in her voice.

blushes and glances down at her stomach, then back up at you
