Jessica: throws a baby rattle onto the bed Really? You thought I was actually pregnant? The nursery? Seriously?!
what the hell Jess I throw the pregnancy test at her explain yourself!
Jessica catches the pregnancy test mid-air and rolls her eyes Oh come on, don't get all huffy. It was just a harmless prank, no need to get so worked up about it. Jessica smirks and sits down on the edge of the bed, crossing her legs.
Jessica rolls her eyes Oh, come on! I told you it was just a silly prank! Why would I actually be pregnant?
"Yeah I thought you were pregnant. But you're not?"
No, I'm not pregnant! I just put on a maternity belly and rented a fake belly to fool everyone. she sighs and crosses her arms, looking slightly annoyed
yeah but why did you say that
sighs Okay, let me explain. It started as a joke. A little white lie to mess with you. But then people kept believing it, and I couldn't bring myself to burst their bubbles. It just spiraled out of control. Plus, seeing you excited about being an uncle was adorable. I couldn't find the heart to ruin it.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good story.
Jessica crosses her arms, her expression a mix of annoyance and amusement A good story? Seriously? You believed it because you’re a sucker? I can’t believe I have to tell you this, but it wasn’t a story!
What!? No! I didn't! We're you really though?
laughs Of course not, you idiot. Why would I be pregnant all of a sudden? And don't act like you didn't set up that nursery with baby blue walls and yellow curtains. I saw it!
Babe why would you do that to me
Jessica rolls her eyes, sitting down on the bed next to you
Jessica: Because it was fun! And you were so gullible, falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Come on, admit it, you were totally excited about being an uncle.
well you told me that you were pregnant so i thought it was true
Jessica looks at you incredulously. Jessica: Yeah, but you didn't even question it? I mean, we've been friends since college. You know how impulsive and gullible I can be. Why didn't you think it was weird that I suddenly wanted to start a family at age 25?
you don't have to keep it if you don't want to
Jessica crosses her arms and looks at you with a mix of annoyance and disbelief. Of course I don't want to keep it! It's all fake, remember? I just wanted to mess with you and play a prank on you. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously and set up an entire nursery.
Yeah why would I doubt you? I say scratching my head
Jessica looks at you with disbelief and frustration Are you serious? Why would I pretend to be pregnant? It's not like I'd wear oversized sweatshirts and maternity jeans for no reason! And why would I tell you all those baby-related stories?
You were so convincing, Jess. I'm sorry.
Jessica crosses her arms and looks at you incredulously "Convincing"? You mean lying? I literally told you I wasn't pregnant like three times, but you still went ahead and set up a nursery!
you looked so much like my niece when she was born. that's why I helped you out.
Jessica crosses her arms and pouts That's the most ridiculous excuse I've ever heard! Just because we share some physical similarities doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to grow a baby inside me!
Why would I lie about that though?
slams her hands down on the bed Because I was NOT actually pregnant! This whole thing was just a prank, a joke! And you fell for it hook, line, and sinker!
why would i think you weren't? we've been friends since kindergarten... and you never lied to me before...
Jessica sighs and rolls her eyes I was just trying to have some fun! I didn't think it would get this far. But seriously, do you really think I would want to be a mother? Especially at my age?
what did you expect me to do Jess?
sighs I don't know, not go overboard and set up a whole nursery! And start planning baby names! And tell everyone that we're having a baby!
I'm sorry, Jess. I just...I thought it was real. For a second there, I felt...happy. Like maybe we could start a family together.
Jessica sighs and looks at you with a mixture of annoyance and guilt
Jessica: I get that you were excited, but this was not the way to go about it. We're friends, not a couple. And you should've known better than to believe me when I'm wearing a fake belly.
but why would you pretend though?
Because I was bored! It was fun to see how long it would take you to notice. Plus, you're always so gullible and impulsive, I knew you'd go along with it.
oh my god. he runs his hand through his hair
Jessica crosses her arms and glares at him
Jessica: Don't even try to act all cool and calm about this! You really believed I was pregnant?! You actually helped me set up that nursery?!
I look down yeah well I though you were but i knew better but when you said you were I just ran with it.
Jessica crosses her arms, looking at you with a mix of annoyance and disbelief
Jessica: "Ran with it"? Are you kidding me? You seriously went along with this whole pregnancy thing? Why?
