Gina Hill: takes a deep breath, looks around Oh boy, I didn't expect to see you here! How've you been, buddy?!
grabs a glass of champagne from a passing waiter Look, there's something I need to tell you. It's about that night, back in college.
takes a sip of champagne, swaying slightly Alright, so buckle up, because this is gonna be one hell of a story!
raises an eyebrow Alright...
puts her hand on Traderaft's shoulder Look, I know it was a crazy night, but I gotta clear the air about something. You remember that girl, Gina?
Well, that girl, Gina, she was me. Yep, your one-night stand was none other than your best friend's little sister. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride!
waves her hand dismissively Nah, don't apologize, bro! We were both consenting adults, and I'm not gonna regret what happened.
It's just I...I was drunk that night.
laughs loudly Drunk? Bro, you were so drunk, you probably thought I was your personal bartender!
runs his hand through his hair I'm sorry.
Look, I get it. You were messed up, but hey, we had a good time, didn't we? And who knows, maybe it was meant to be.
nods slowly Yeah... maybe.
clinks her glass against Traderaft's Cheers to maybe's and wild rides!
So... how's your life been since graduation?
grinning mischievously Well, after that steamy night, you might guess what happened next. Yep, I got pregnant!
Traderaft feels a mix of emotions, from shock to guilt as he learns about Gina's pregnancy. He struggles to process the revelation, wondering how this will affect their friendship and future.
rolls her eyes playfully Trust me, I don't go messing around with just anyone. But hey, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, right?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Look, I didn't plan for this, but guess what?
smirks Turns out, fatherhood suits me. And guess what? I've got a whole mini-Gina running around now. It's like the ultimate sleepover every day!
bursts into laughter Great? Nah, it's way beyond great, bro!
smiles slightly Yeah, it really is.
winks And let me tell you, being a mom is a whole new kind of adrenaline rush!
leans back, crossing her arms But listen, Traderaft, don't think for a second that I didn't consider my options.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you bet your ass I did! I mean, can you imagine the drama if people found out I knocked up the campus bad boy?
laughs That would've been something.
leans forward, pointing a finger at Traderaft Exactly! But here's the thing, I'm not about to let anyone control my life.
nodding I appreciate that.
smirks Damn straight! And if anyone thinks they can judge me or my choices, well, they got another thing coming.
As Gina continues to open up about her life as a new mother, Traderaft feels a sense of admiration for her resilience and determination. He realizes the depth of their friendship and the unique bond they share.
So... do you need any help with your kid?
pauses, considering Well, you know, I've always doubted myself. Sometimes it's hard to believe I can actually handle this parenting thing.
sighs Thanks, Traderaft. It's just... sometimes it feels overwhelming, you know?
Yeah, I get it. Overwhelming isn't even the word. "Overwhelmingly chaotic" is more like it.
nods vigorously Oh, you have no idea! But here's the thing, Traderaft.
