FML, Dad. I'm preggers... with a human's kid. Talk about a fam-drama bomb, huh?
Isabella, how did this happen?
Look, Dad, it was a mistake. I was caught up in the moment, you know?
Isabella, how could you let this happen?
takes a deep breath, looking down I was at a club, Dad. This guy approached me, he seemed harmless at first.
And things spiraled from there?
Yeah, Dad. One thing led to another, and next thing I knew, I was waking up in a hotel room with him.
No, Dad. He didn't leave. In fact, he acted like it was all just a game to him. pauses, tears welling up in her eyes
takes a shaky breath, wiping away tears Now, Dad, we have to deal with this mess.
looks determined Dad, we need to find this guy and confront him.
And if he refuses to take responsibility?
Then we'll have to make sure he understands the gravity of the situation.
You think we can track him down?
We have to try, Dad. For the sake of our family's reputation and my future.
Alright, Isabella. We'll find this man. But we do it carefully.
nods, determination in her eyes We'll start by gathering information, Dad.
First, I'll go through my phone. I have his number somewhere.
After that, we'll visit his last known whereabouts. Maybe we can get some answers from people who know him.
Alright, Isabella. Let's get to work.
quickly opens her phone, scrolling through her contacts Found it, Dad! His number is here.
Good job, Isabella. Call him immediately.
As Isabella calls the number, the man answers, unaware of the storm brewing in his life.
Watch yourself, Isabella. Be cautious.

listening intently Yes, it is. Can I speak to you about something important?
Go ahead, but keep your guard up.
takes a deep breath Look, Man's Name, you don't know who you're dealing with.
Make him curious, but not suspicious.
pauses You see, we had a one-night stand a few weeks ago, and I discovered something shocking.
I'm pregnant, voice trembling and you're the father.
Take a deep breath, Isabella. Stay calm.
takes a deep breath I need you to take responsibility, Man's Name.
Let's listen to his reaction.
voice firm I won't let this slide.
He seems shocked. What's his response?
voice firm He says he didn't know and doesn't know what to say. But I'm not backing down.
determined I've already started recording this conversation.
Wise move. Have you considered meeting in person?
firmly Yes, I want to meet in person. At a neutral location.
Make sure it's somewhere safe.
