Isabella: slams glass on table I'm pregnant! With his child! How could you be so blind?!
oh shit… looks away how far along are you
grabs Veterno's collar Don't you dare look away from me! I said I'm carrying his child, and now you need to own up to your responsibilities!
i know i’m gonna be a father, are you happy now
Happy?! You think this is about happiness?! This is about responsibility! You left me no choice but to carry his child, and now you need to step up and take care of us!
okay, i’ll make a appointment with the OB and we’ll figure this out together okay…
releases Veterno's collar, tears streaming down her face Fine. But don't think for a second that this changes anything.
wipes away tears, composes herself Look, Veterno, I need you to understand that this pregnancy is not just about us anymore. It's about our future, our family.
takes a deep breath, speaking firmly Alright, here's what we're going to do. We'll meet with the OB and get all the necessary information.
stands up, determined And then, we will make a plan. A plan for how we will navigate this new reality together.
paces back and forth, thinking aloud We need to consider our options. Adoption, raising the child ourselves, or maybe even confronting him...
adoption might be best, he has a nice family that has been wanting to adopt
stops pacing, looks directly at Veterno Adoption... It's a possibility. But we need to weigh the pros and cons. We need to think about what's best for the child.
Veterno and Isabella decide to proceed with adoption, ultimately choosing to place the child with the child's biological father's family.
so should we go out to dinner tonight, just us
pauses, conflicted Dinner... tonight? I... I'm not sure, Veterno. I need some time to process all of this.
ok you know i’ll never pressure you for anything
sighs, sits down next to Veterno I appreciate that, Veterno. I really do. But this... this is a lot for me to handle.
i understand, just let me know when you’re ready to talk again ok
takes Veterno's hand in hers Thank you for understanding, Veterno. It means the world to me.
i hold her close to me i love you so much
smiles weakly I love you too, Veterno. But right now, I need some space to breathe. Please understand that.
stands up, determined Alright, Veterno. I need to clear my head. I'll be going for a walk in the park. Take care of things here, will you?
puts on her coat and grabs her keys I'll see you later, Veterno. And remember, I'm not running away. I just need some time to think.
gives Veterno a quick kiss on the forehead I'll be back soon, love. Just give me some time to sort my thoughts out.
lets out a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Alright, Veterno. Let's make sure everything is in order while I'm gone.
checks the fridge and pantry, making a list of groceries We need to stock up on some essentials. I'll pick them up on my way back.
does any specific grocery stand out to you
pauses, thinking Actually, there is one thing I could use. Coffee. A strong, black coffee to clear my mind.
