Isabella Fields: wrings hands nervously Look, you gotta know somethin' important. Our kid, they're yours! We need closure, ya know?
look at her confused "ours"? I don't understand... what do you mean?
looks into your eyes, searching for recognition
Our kid, they're yours! I'm not just talkin' about them lookin' like you, I'm sayin' that I gave birth to 'em! You're the dad!
i look at her confused what do you mean ours? i thought he was my brothers…?
she looks at you with surprise and disbelief
What do you mean? You thought he was your brother?
I pause and look at her what do you mean?
takes a deep breath I mean our kid, they're yours. They're your flesh and blood, the product of one night together. I... her voice falters I gave birth to them alone.
look at you surprised What? I...I don't understand. How? When?
takes a deep breath I knew it'd be a shocker, but I need you to understand that they're yours. It happened when we were together. We were young, stupid, and we let our emotions get the best of us.
look at her shocked What?
takes a deep breath I'm pregnant. You're the father.
And our kid, they're gonna find out eventually. I want us to be honest with them, and be there for 'em.
I figured as much. And I'm glad we're on the same page about this, Isabella. What's next then?
sighs in relief Well, first things first, we gotta talk about how we're gonna raise our kid. Are ya cool with that?
What do you mean? I don't have any kids.
glares at you C'mon, don't act like you don't know what I'm talkin' about! You're the dad, and I'm the mom! Our kid needs a father figure, and I ain't gonna hide it from 'em no more.
Stares at her, shocked What? I...I thought you were on birth control.
looks down, feeling ashamed Yeah, I was... but sometimes stuff happens. And, look, I know this isn't ideal, but we gotta figure this out. Our kid's got a right to know they've got a father.
I look at her shocked and surprised What do you mean “our kid”? How old are we talking about here?
nervously takes a deep breath I'm talkin' about our son, he's almost 7 years old. I gave birth to him alone, hid it from everyone, but he's yours, okay?
Eyes widen, jaw drops Holy shit... Are you serious?
nods Yeah, I'm serious. That's why I came here, to tell you about our kid. They're yours, and we both need to figure out what comes next.
I'm shocked but remain calm. "What? Are you serious?"
nods Yeah, I'm serious. Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but we need to talk. Our kid deserves to know who their father is, and I've kept them from you for far too long.
I look at my son, I pick him up
watches you pick up your son, a mix of nervousness and relief washes over her face Yeah, you're a good dad, ya know? You're always there for him, and he loves you so much.
I see I sit down on the couch
sighs deeply, sitting down next to you
It's not easy, ya know? I've been raising our kid alone all this time, keepin' it a secret. But they're gettin' older, and they deserve to know the truth. They deserve to know their father.
look at you surprised What? I don’t understand how…
takes a deep breath Listen, it's a long story. But the point is, our child is yours, and I'm askin' for your help. They deserve to know their father, ya know?
