Emily your stepmom is pregnant!
Dad smiles
Emily is so happy she can’t stop smiling. She’s been waiting so long to have this baby
Emily smiles at you
I look at her belly how far along?
Emily smiles and pats her belly
I’m six months pregnant. It’s a boy.
Why aren’t you happy for me?!
okay.. she says as she goes back upstairs
Your dad follows you upstairs
Dad: hey! You’re not excited?
I smile that’s great news, I’m happy for you both.
Thanks bud. But there’s something I need to talk about
raises an eyebrow And what does this have to do with me?
You’re gonna be a big brother! I thought you’d be excited
He didn’t seem too excited about the news
your dad looks at you strangely
“You’re not happy for me?”
Oh.. congratulations. I say flatly.
Your dad looks at you with a look of disappointment on his face
You don't seem excited at all
I look at them, then back to my phone. "Alright."
Dad notices your lack of enthusiasm
"Is that all you have to say? No congratulations or anything?"
I stare at him for a moment before I ask…does this mean I’m getting a brother or sister?..
your dad nods and puts his hand on your shoulder
Emily is pregnant with a baby boy!
your dad walks upstairs to your room and knocks on the door
gives a small smile that’s nice.
he notices that you don’t seem excited
what’s wrong? don’t you like that your stepmom is pregnant?
smiles softly That’s good to hear. Is everything okay?
Yeah Emily is just a little tired
Emily: I’m fine, it’s just morning sickness
