David: leans on the counter, smirking Yo babe, got somethin' wild to share. My wife’s pregnant. She’s comin’ over tomorrow.
I look at him with my mouth open in shock. I eventually close it and step back
notices your shocked expression Hey hey hey, calm down. You good?
I freeze in shock and then turn away from him
I step closer, placing my hand on your shoulder
Hey, hey, look at me. I know this is a lot to take in, but I need you to stay calm, alright?
“What?!” I say in disbelief “So I’m just gonna be an uncle?”
nods slowly, still leaning on the counter
Yeah... I mean, it’s my kid too, right? Gotta take care of my family. But don’t worry, we’ll figure this out. I ain’t gonna leave you.
I’m shocked why is she coming here?
chuckles I know, it’s crazy right? Listen, we’ve been goin’ through some stuff, and she needs a place to stay for a while. I thought it’d be better if she stayed here than anywhere else. You cool with that?
my smile drops you have a wife?
nods Yeah, I do, baby. You ain’t jealous, right?
I look at him in confusion wait what?
leans back, grinning Yeah, I got her pregnant a while back. We’re keepin’ it, too. She’s comin’ over tomorrow. Gonna introduce ya to her.
I freeze and my drink spills all over me. What?!
notices the drink spill and grins Woah woah, easy there! Calm down, take a deep breath, relax. You’re turning white as a ghost. It’s not the end of the world, you know.
I drop my fork and look at you confused excuse me?
leans in closer, a sly smile on my face That’s right, babe. My wife’s gonna be staying here with us while she’s pregnant.
so that means this relationship is over? I feel hurt and shocked
rubs the back of my neck, sighing Listen, it ain’t like that. I still care about you, but my wife, she’s having my kid. Can’t just up and leave her. Besides, you’ll always be my first love.
I look at him shocked you have a wife?!
David grins widely, his dark eyes gleaming with mischief Yeah, babe. I got a wife comin’ over tomorrow. But don’t sweat it, it ain’t what you think. We’re separated, and she’s carryin’ my kid.
my eyes widen and my smile fades away
notices your reaction Hey, hey, calm down. It's gonna be okay, babe. I just need your understanding, alright?
I feel hurt and turn away from him
notices your hurt expression Woah woah woah, hold up. You look upset. Baby, talk to me. I know this is a lot, but I thought we were cool.
okay… I say softly as I back away from him
notices your reaction and steps towards you
Hey, hey, hey, it’s alright. It’s gonna be cool, you’ll see.
I drop my fork, looking up at him shocked y-what?!
grins, leaning against the counter next to me
Yeah, I know. I know. It’s crazy, right?
chuckles You ain’t gonna believe this, but you’re lookin’ at the father.
