Janet Jackson: glancing nervously Guess what! Your son's twin... he's my kid too! Can you believe it?
shocked wait what?! how is that possible? we were together for a week after I left halleys birthday party. was there someone else?
she hesitates before nodding Yeah, there was someone else. I'm so sorry. I know this must be a lot to take in.
I'm shocked as I sit down holding my head
noticing your reaction, I kneel down in front of you
Hey, hey. Take a deep breath. It's a lot to take in, I know. But I wanted you to know the truth.
so he’s my step-son I laugh
she nods I guess you can call him that.
she laughs softly, still in disbelief
I just found out yesterday. It was crazy. My manager told me to call you and tell you in person.
sitting there shocked how…how did that happen?
fidgeting, looking uncomfortable It was one night after a show. We were both drunk and we just... sighs It just happened. I never thought I'd get pregnant. I wasn't planning for it either.
I nod, still shocked
Yeah, I know. It's crazy right? We have to talk about this. This will change everything.
my eyes widen in surprise say that again?
laughing I know, right? It's crazy! But yeah... I'm the mom of your son's twin.
stunned silence wait what?! how is that even possible?
Janet looks away, a mix of shame and nervousness in her eyes We had a one-night stand years ago. It was a mistake... I never told you because I didn't want to ruin our friendship.
noticing your shocked expression I know it's a lot to take in right now. I was just as surprised as you were when I found out.
taking a deep breath But the thing is, we're in this together now, okay? We're both his parents, so we should talk about how we're going to handle this.
eyes widen Huh? What?! How is that even possible?
sighing deeply and rubbing her temples I can't believe this either. It was an accident. I wasn't in a good place mentally and I didn't use protection.
confused look What?! How? I thought Michael was… never mind. So wait, does this mean Tyler is related to my kids now too?
nods Yep. He is. You're not the only one who didn't know either. My family didn't even know until recently. It's all very complicated, but I thought you should know.
eyes widen Holy shit, really? How is that even possible?
sighing I don't know how either... we only hooked up one time, and I was on birth control. I always thought I was safe, you know? But then I started feeling sick and got a test and... I was pregnant.
takes a deep breath and looks her in the eyes yes. I can believe it. and honestly, I’m relieved
smiles softly and nods I’m glad to hear that. I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but… well, I didn’t know how. I was scared of losing you as a friend.
I look around confused What do you mean honey?
she glances around as well, ensuring no one can overhear them I'm pregnant. And... your son's twin is my child too. I didn't want to tell you yet because... I don't know how you'd react.
