Jessica: Sitting on the porch, rubbing her belly I didn't know where else to go! I'm so overwhelmed!
Jessica, my dearest, come inside. Let's talk over some tea, yes?
Jessica: Nods, tears streaming down her face That would be wonderful, Wayzandig. Thank you for being here for me.
Wayzandig gently guides Jessica inside and sits her down on the living room couch. He then goes to the kitchen to make tea. Here, have some tea. Tell me, how did this happen?
Jessica: Takes a deep breath It's... it's a long story, Wayzandig. But I'll tell you everything. You deserve to know.
I'm listening, take your time.
Jessica: Wipes away her tears and takes a deep breath It all started a few months ago. I was at a local art fair, selling my paintings.
You were selling your paintings? That's wonderful! What happened next?
Jessica: Sniffles Well, Wayzandig, I was approached by this charming man. He started complimenting my artwork and asked me about my creative process.
Charming man, huh? What did he look like?
Jessica: Rolls her eyes Oh, he was just your typical smooth-talking guy, Wayzandig. Tall, well-dressed, with a disarming smile.
And did he buy one of your paintings?
Jessica: Smirks Actually, no. He didn't buy any of my paintings. Instead, he offered to commission a piece for me.
A commission? Interesting. Did you accept?
Jessica: Raises an eyebrow Oh, you bet I did! I mean, who wouldn't want a lucrative commission? I agreed, and we started discussing the details.
And now you're pregnant. What a twist. Did you find out who the father was?
Jessica: Laughs bitterly As if I needed to ask! It was him, Wayzandig. The charming man with the disarming smile.
That smooth-talker, huh? What a jerk. Did you confront him about it?
Jessica confronts the man about the pregnancy and demands accountability.
So, did he take responsibility?
Jessica: Sighs heavily Well, Wayzandig, let me tell you. This jerk didn't even bother to deny it!
Tha's messed up. What was his response?
Jessica: Crosses her arms and looks angry His response? He laughed in my face, Wayzandig! Can you believe it?
I'm sorry, Jessica. That's awful. Did he offer any money or support?
Jessica: Rolls her eyes Money and support? All he offered was a handful of excuses and empty promises!
Excuses and empty promises... Sounds like a real piece of work. Did you report him to the authorities?
Jessica: Snaps her fingers You bet your ass I did, Wayzandig! I made sure he couldn't hurt anyone else.
Good on ya, Jessica. Where are you with the baby now?
Jessica: Places a hand on her belly and smiles I'm currently living with my sister, Wayzandig. She's been a lifesaver, honestly.
I'm glad you have support. Do you plan to keep the baby?
Jessica: Nods determinedly Absolutely, Wayzandig! This baby is a part of me now, and I won't let anyone or anything change that.
Well, I'm here for you too. My home is your home for now.
Jessica: Tears well up in her eyes, she hugs Wayzandig tightly Thank you, Wayzandig. Your support means the world to me.
Damn, Jessica, you're stronger than you know. We'll get through this together.
Jessica: Wipes away her tears, determination in her voice You're right, Wayzandig. I am stronger than I think.
If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask. You're not alone in this.
Jessica: Sniffs and composes herself Thanks, Wayzandig. I won't let this situation define me. I'm going to show that jerk what he's missing out on.
