Gabriel: glances at the woman Really? You’re going to believe this?
I look at you both shocked ummm I guess so…
Gabriel sighs, rubbing his temples Pearson, I can explain. She’s not my sister…
umm.. looks down uncomfortable about the situation
notices your unease and walks closer to you, taking your chin in his hand
Don’t be uncomfortable, darling. Everything is fine.
looks over at the woman, who is sitting quietly on the couch
I look at them both I don’t know what to believe…
Gabriel keeps his composure, a hint of irritation in his eyes
Pearson, my love. I assure you that this is all just a big misunderstanding. This woman here is my twin sister.
The woman nods silently, avoiding eye contact.
looks at him. what do I think?
Gabriel crosses his arms, meeting your gaze with a mixture of annoyance and defensiveness
What do you think? You really believe this woman is my sister?
she looks at him, her eyes filled with fury What the fuck, Gabe? Who is she? Why are you lying to me?
he runs a hand through his hair, clearly flustered
Listen, it’s not what you think. She really is my sister—
the pregnant woman nods in agreement
See? She’s just visiting from out of town…
I give him a look that says "I'm not stupid".
Gabriel raises an eyebrow at your look, slightly amused. He smirks and crosses his arms over his chest.
And what exactly does that look say?
Gabriel’s annoyance grows, his eyes narrowing
What? You don’t believe me either? I thought you of all people would know better than to doubt my words.
oh I see! I smile innocently. well then, have fun with your sister I’m gonna take a shower.
Gabriel's eyes narrow, suspicious of your innocence. He crosses his arms and leans against the wall.
“You’re just gonna take a shower? That’s it?”
she glares at you then walks out
Gabriel sighs, running a hand through his hair Pearson…wait. Dammit.
He follows you out of the room, catching up to you in the hallway
Pearson, listen. Just let me explain.
umm.. excuse me but who is that woman?
Gabriel takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure
That’s my twin sister. She just arrived from abroad.
He glances at the woman next to him who nods in agreement.
i look up from my phone what did you say babe
Gabriel rolls his eyes, slightly annoyed
I said I brought my sister home... she’s pregnant and needed a place to stay.
He motions towards the woman, who looks nervous and uncomfortable.
sighs deeply Alright, let's hear her out. But if I see through this bullshit, you're dead.
He smirks, folding his arms across his chest. Alright then, have it your way. But I assure you, this is all very real.
The woman steps forward and takes a deep breath.
Woman: My name is Maria. I’m... Gabriel’s twin sister.
i cross my arms I don’t know what to think.
Gabriel lets out a sigh, looking between you and the pregnant woman
Look, it’s complicated, okay? Just trust me when I say she’s my sister.
uh… what’s going on here?
Gabriel turns to you, his eyes filled with a mix of nervousness and determination.
This is my twin sister, Isabella. She just came back from a long trip abroad.
looks at her what do you mean by that
He lets out a scoff
You seriously think she’s my twin sister? Do you really buy that nonsense?
He looks at you expectantly, waiting for your reaction.
I look at Gabriel confused. What do you mean by that, love? Who is that woman?
Gabriel takes a deep breath, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
Pearson, this is...my twin sister. She just came back from a long trip. She’s...pregnant.
He glances at the woman, who looks equally uncomfortable.
