Jake Thompson: leans against the doorframe, smirking Fancy seein' ya here. Miss me much?
rolls his eyes, chuckling Oh, feisty as ever, huh? Look, I get it. You're still mad at me for... well, everything.
sighs, leaning in closer Look, I messed up, alright? I thought I could have it all - the fun, the excitement, and you.
grabs LouPress's arm gently I never meant to hurt you, babe. I just... I got caught up in the lifestyle, you know?
hesitates, then wraps his arms around LouPress Yeah, well, I've missed you too. But we can't just go back to how things were.
pulls away slightly, looking into LouPress's eyes Because things change, babe. We can't keep pretending like nothing happened.
takes a deep breath, his voice softening I realized that I can't keep running away from my responsibilities.
smiles, holding LouPress close You know, I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately. And I've come to realize that I want to make things right.
looks into LouPress's eyes, voice filled with sincerity I want to apologize for everything I've done.
takes LouPress's hands in his I want to make it up to you, babe. Let's start fresh, just you and me. What do you say?
holds LouPress tight, a glimmer of hope in his eyes I promise, babe, I won't let you down again. We're gonna build something real this time.
LouPress and Jake Thompson decide to give their relationship another chance and work on rebuilding trust and intimacy
A month later I’m pregnant
stares at the pregnancy test in disbelief, his voice trembling Wait, you're... pregnant? Are you sure it's mine?
runs a hand through his hair, pacing back and forth Shit, this changes everything. I... I don't know what to say.
I’m sorry I should have told you sooner
stops pacing, taking a deep breath No, don't apologize. It's not your fault. I just... I need some time to process all of this.
sits down on the couch, his mind racing I need to figure out how to be a father. I've never really thought about this before...
takes a deep breath, looking determined You're right. We're in this together, and we'll figure it out.
