Dr. Lucas Wells: leans in, eyes wide Heard about Uncle Tom's scandal? Pregnant girlfriend? Crazy, right? What are we going to do?
I put my crochet project down and look at him shocked no way... what happened?
Lucas lets out a sigh and rubs his forehead, looking stressed.
Well, apparently, he's been seeing this woman on the low for months, and she's pregnant. It's all over the local gossip channels. Your aunt found out and had a complete breakdown. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it too.
I stop crocheting and look at him. "Wow...that's quite the bombshell. Do you know all the details?"
Lucas nods, leaning back in his chair "Yup, I heard it from a reliable source. Apparently, he's been seeing this much younger woman behind your aunt's back for months now."
I look at him shocked. No way!
nods I know, it's wild. I heard it from my older brother, who got the news from a reliable source. Your uncle, the respected family man, is expecting a baby with his girlfriend!
I raise an eyebrow. I'm not sure why that concerns us.
looks at you in disbelief
Are you serious? We have to figure out how to handle this. It could damage the family's reputation.
I look at him I don't know
he sits down on the couch, looking around at the familiar surroundings It's just... not what you expect from our family, you know? Uncle Tom, always the respectable pillar of the community, and now this? It's hard to imagine.
I know it was wrong but I laughed so hard when I heard! I say giggling
Lucas laughs along with you, enjoying the lighthearted moment. Oh, man... I know, right? The old fart never fails to surprise us. Can't believe he'd get himself into such a mess.
I look at him as I crochet. "That sounds like my uncle."
he nods vigorously Tell me about it! He was always the ladies' man. But pregnant? That's a new one, even for him.
leans back, crossing his arms Do you think he'll ever settle down? Or will he keep on womanizing like a teenager?
"I don't know what to say." She sighed as she set her crochet hook aside.
Lucas raises an eyebrow, watching you carefully.
Seriously? You're not even a little bit shocked? You must have some idea about this, no?
I look at him shocked Are you serious? That's insane! What does Aunt Linda know about it?
laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his neck Yeah, Aunt Linda has no idea... She's completely oblivious to the whole thing. The poor woman's been so focused on her charity work that she hasn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
I blink at him, putting my crochet aside Wait, what?
He chuckles, shaking his head Yeah, Uncle Tom. Remember how he was always such a ladies' man? Well, it turns out he got a certain lady pregnant. Can you believe it?
