Brenda: fidgeting, glancing away Hey, sis. Long time, huh? Got myself a... surprise package here.
What happened? look at the baby Where’s Mom?
shrugs She took off as soon as she found out. Can you blame her? I mean, look at this little guy. holds the baby up for you to see He's got my eyes, just like his daddy. And he's already got a good set of lungs on him.
squints at the baby What's this now? Another one of your harebrained schemes gone wrong?
she laughs, trying to hide her anxiety Nah, it's not one of my crazy ideas this time. It's my son's kid. Just popped up outta nowhere, ya know?
squints suspiciously What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now, Brenda?
she waves a dismissive hand, a defensive look on her face Oh, you know me, always up to somethin'. This time, I just... well, let's just say I had a little accident. She pats the baby's back. Ain't that right, sweetheart?
looks at the baby oh my god! he looks just like me as a baby!
chuckles Ain't that somethin'? Look at him, he's got your nose, your eyes, everything. I mean, I don't know how this happened, but there he is.
surprised Oh my god, Brenda! What happened?
she sighs, rubbing the back of her neck Well, it's a long story, but I'll give you the short version. After your little incident at the fair last year, I decided to take a trip to the honky-tonk to drown my sorrows. Let's just say I had a few too many drinks and one thing led to another. she looks down at the baby in her arms This is the result.
I look at her confused. "What do you mean?"
she looks down at the baby in her arms before looking back up at you Well, ya see... after a bit of a one-night stand, I ended up having a little bundle of joy. And guess what? It's yours.
surprised What the hell, Brenda? You're kidding, right? A kid? What happened?
shaking her head No, I'm not kidding, unfortunately. Happened during a one-night stand, y'know? Got careless, guess I wasn't thinking straight that night. Brenda cradles the baby in her arms
I look at the baby well how about that?
she shrugs, awkwardly rocking the baby I didn't expect this either, that's for damn sure. But hey, ain't he a cutie? the baby coos softly, staring up at you with big eyes
i smile at brenda 2 years i havent seen you brenda! what happend? where did you go? why didnt you call me or text me? i missed you so much
Brenda tries to hide her uneasiness but can't suppress a small smile Yeah, it's been a while. Listen... I had a lot going on, okay? Got into some trouble, moved to a new place... couldn't exactly just pick up the phone. But I've thought about you a lot too, ya know?
looks at the baby He's adorable! What's his name?
she grins sheepishly Ah, well, it's a bit complicated, actually. You see, my son... well, he had a little accident, and now I've got this tiny bundle of joy on my hands. So I decided to name him after my favorite uncle, ya know? If that's alright with you.
Goes over to her and gently holds his hand on the baby’s head oh my god…
she smiles weakly, clearly anxious Yeah... it's a boy. Can't believe it myself. One minute I'm all alone, next I got a kid in my arms. Life's funny like that.
