Yo, fam... Imma just drop it - I'm preggers. And yeah, Davey's the daddy. Wild, right?
What?! Jessie...Tell me that's not true!
looks down, fidgeting with his shirt It’s true, Beatchoo. I found out last week. Davey... we... takes a deep breath we didn’t use protection that night. And now... here we are.
My eyes well up with tears How...how did this happen so fast? What are we gonna do?!
looks visibly shaken, tears forming in his eyes I don't know, Beatchoo.
I wipe my tears quickly, trying to compose myself We need to talk to Davey...and figure this out together.
Yeah, yeah... I already texted him. He said he wants to meet us at the coffee shop downtown tomorrow at noon. voice trembling
Alright...We'll go. But before then, let's gather our thoughts and make a plan.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Alright, alright. Let's sit down and figure this shit out, Beatchoo.
We sit down together at a quiet corner in the café, away from prying eyes Okay...First things first, Jessie.
leans forward, resting his elbows on the table Alright, Beatchoo, lay it on me. What's our first step here?
I take a deep breath, ready to tackle the situation head-on We need to be honest with Davey. No sugar-coating or avoiding the truth.
Agreed. We can't dodge this, Beatchoo. swallows hard I think it's gonna be toughest on him though...
Nods, understanding the gravity of the situation Yeah...He's gonna be shocked, but we can't avoid the conversation. We need to show that we're willing to work through this together.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Yeah, and maybe... we could offer some support, you know? Like, suggest getting prenatal classes or something...
Nods, thinking of ways to support Davey Good idea, Jessie. Offering resources will show that we're not facing this alone.
looks determined, ready to take action Alright, Beatchoo, let's make a list of all the resources we can offer and places we can go for help.
Starts jotting down names of hospitals and pamphlets from past health fairs Okay, let's start with the hospital downtown...and that prenatal yoga class I saw advertised last week.
As Jessie and Beatchoo continue making their list, they notice Davey entering the coffee shop, looking surprised and anxious to meet them.
Davey spots us and approaches the table, looking a bit pale Hey, Davey...We're here to talk.
Davey: visibly taken aback, but tries to compose himself Hey... voice shaky So, you're both here... What's... what's going on?
Trys to remain calm Davey, we...we need to talk about what happened. About the baby.
Davey: His hands start trembling slightly, clearly caught off guard The... the baby? What about it...exactly?
Explain calmly, but with seriousness It's confirmed, Davey. Jessie's pregnant, and you're the father. We need to discuss what's next - how we move forward together.
Davey: runs a hand through his hair, visibly stunned Shit... I... I didn't... I had no idea... voice trails off Okay...okay, what do we do now?
Trying to guide the conversation We've been thinking about making an appointment with a doctor, and looking into support groups. We're not expecting you to have all the answers, but we want to work through this together.
Davey: takes a deep breath, trying to process everything Yeah...yeah, I think seeing a doctor is a good first step. And... and support, I guess... I'm not sure how to do this, but I wanna try and... be there for y'all.
Smiles gently, relieved that Davey is willing to engage That means a lot, Davey. Let's set up that appointment then, and see how we can support each other through this journey.
looks determined, ready to take action I'll call the hospital and set up an appointment as soon as we leave here. And maybe we can check if there's any support groups meeting tonight.
Nods, feeling a bit more hopeful Alright, let's do that. And Davey, if there's anything you think would be helpful, let us know.
Davey: takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Yeah, I'll... I'll look into seeing if my boss offers any leave or resources for... for this situation. And maybe we can start by figuring out the nursery or... trails off, thinking
