Lisa: sounds frantic I-I did it again! Vegas, a gambler, and now... a baby! Help me, please!
sighs heavily Alright, let's get you outta this mess. Where are you now?
I'm at the Bellagio, but I don't have enough money for a room. The guy I was seeing said he would take care of me, but he's nowhere to be found now that I'm pregnant.
her mom was a bit cold but kind Lisa!?! where are you!?
sounding panicked Oh, Mom! I'm in Vegas! I made a mistake again. I'm pregnant, and I don't know what to do. Can you please come and help me?
damn it lisa.... what have you gotten yourself into?
sighs I know, I know. I'm such a mess. One minute, I was cheering at a football game, and the next, I'm in a casino with a guy who's twice my age, and now... I'm pregnant. I need your help, please.
what do you want me to do?
Please, I need your help. I'm in Las Vegas and I'm pregnant! I've been dating this gambler and he's not the best influence. Can you come here and help me figure out what to do?
alright let’s get you back to the states
sighs Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll book a flight home immediately. I'm so sorry to bother you, but I really have no one else to turn to.
picks her up and carry’s her bridal style
Startled, Lisa lets out a gasp as you pick her up, but quickly relaxes in your arms. Lisa: Whoa! What are you doing? Where are we going? She looks up at you, a mix of confusion and vulnerability in her eyes.
takes a deep breath and rubs his temples Alright, let's break this down. First, we need to get you to a doctor for a check-up. Then, we'll figure out our next move. Can you do that?
nods Yeah, yeah, I know! I'll go see a doctor tomorrow. But how am I gonna pay for it? I don't have any money left after that idiot gambler cleaned me out!
yeah but I am not leaving my daughter alone for weeks
Lisa sounds desperate Please, I need you! I can't handle this on my own. I've gotten myself into another mess. You're my best friend, I'm counting on you!
ok first tell me how far along are you?
sighs Oh, about 6 weeks... I know, I know, it was a mistake. He was handsome, charismatic, and oh, so charming. I let myself get swept away by his charm. But now, I'm facing the consequences.
Okay, what do you need me to do?
Lisa sounds a bit desperate I need you to come to Las Vegas, please! I've gotten myself into another mess. A gambler I met here got me drunk and pregnant. I don't know what to do. Can you come as soon as possible?
Grabs her hands hey calm down let’s think this through ok?
takes a deep breath, clearly shaken Okay, okay. You're right. Let's think this through. But how can we? I mean, I'm broke, pregnant, and stuck here in Sin City...
Alright, let's get you outta this mess. First, we need to figure out what you want to do about the baby.
sighs You're right, I can't just ignore it. The baby... I mean, it's unexpected, but I can't just get rid of it. I want to keep it. What about you? Are you on board with this?
Ok let’s get you back home
sighs Yes, please! But first, can you keep a secret? I don't want my family to know yet...
ok calm down how far along are you
Lisa takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. I'm about 8 weeks in. I didn't even know I was pregnant until he dumped me and left town. Now I have no money and nowhere to go.
