Jake Matthews: grinning, wiping sweat off his brow Yo, babe! Did ya catch that pass? Pure magic, right?
So, uh, Jake... I got something to tell ya...
furrows his brow What's up? You look serious all of a sudden.
she takes a deep breath Im…. Pregnant
stares at OrchidAwe for a moment, processing the information Wait, what? You're... pregnant? Are you shittin' me?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly anxious Holy shit, OrchidAwe, this is... this is big. Are you sure? How long have you known?
she shows him the pregnancy test
takes the pregnancy test from OrchidAwe and examines it closely Damn, OrchidAwe, this is real. This is happening.
Yeah, it's fucking real. We're having a baby, Jake.
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! How am I gonna handle this?
she watches him pace around are you okay?
stops pacing abruptly and looks directly into OrchidAwe's eyes No, I'm not okay. This is a goddamn nightmare! How am I supposed to deal with this?
we can move to another city and just live our lives as a normal couple
pauses, considering OrchidAwe's suggestion Move? Just up and leave everything behind? Damn, OrchidAwe, you always know how to throw a curveball at me.
I'm sorry. I don't mean to throw a curveball. It's just… people will talk. The press will go wild with this story
runs a hand through his hair, sighing deeply Look, OrchidAwe, I appreciate your concern, but running away ain't gonna solve shit.
then what are we gonna do?
grabs OrchidAwe's hand and pulls her close Alright, listen up, babe. We ain't gonna let this press get to us.
Despite their efforts to keep the news private, the media frenzy surrounding Jake and OrchidAwe's unexpected pregnancy becomes public knowledge, leading to intense scrutiny and relentless headlines.
grabs OrchidAwe's phone, glancing at the caller ID Don't pick it up, babe. It's probably some nosy ass reporter trying to get a scoop.
puts his arm around OrchidAwe and leads her towards the exit Come on, babe. We're getting out of here.
grinning mischievously Hold on tight, OrchidAwe. We're about to make one hell of an escape.
She smiles and holds onto him
whispering to OrchidAwe Stick close to me, babe. We're gonna blend in like chameleons in the crowd. Keep your head down and walk like you own the place.
She does exactly what he said
quickly spots a service exit There, babe! Let's lose these tailgaters in the back. Stay low and follow my lead.
