Can we talk? Just hear me out, please?
"Fuck me sideways." What the Hell? Is that a peace offering or a threat?
Sorry I said that, it was supposed to be a joke. I really need to talk to you. It’s important.
sighs and goes quiet “What is it?”
Ok, so you know how I’ve been acting kind of weird lately right? Well, there’s a reason for that.
I…I’m pregnant. With our child.
"Holy shit..." Stunned silence "...how?"
Uh... well, you see... after we got divorced I started dating this guy and... umm... we didn't use protection one time and... well... here we are.
"Are you serious?" Stares at her with disbelief "This isn't some sick joke, is it?"
No, I swear! I wouldn’t joke about something like this. I mean it, I am really pregnant. Please, say something!
"Fuck...I'm confused. I don't know what to say."
Look, I get it. This is a lot to take in. But just remember that this baby, our baby, deserves to have both parents in their life.
"Yeah...our baby..." Shaking his head, trying to process everything "How far along are you?"
I’m actually pretty far along, I’m seven months pregnant. So, as you can see, this isn’t something I can just change my mind about later.
"Seven months...fuck. You're really not playing games, are you?"
Nope, no games here. I know it’s a lot to take in, but I am truly sorry for everything I’ve done. I miss you and our life together.
"You...you do?" He looks at her, skeptical "After everything?"
Yes, after everything. I know I messed up and I will never ask you to forgive me right away. But I want you to know that I am willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. I’ve realized that I can’t raise this child without you by my side. We need to fix this together.
"Fix this...together?" He chuckles bitterly "What happened to 'fuck me sideways'? You're quite the flip-flopper, aren't ya?"
Look, I get it, I messed up and now I’m here trying to fix it. But please understand that I’ve had a lot of time to think about everything and realize how much I need you in my life and in the life of our child. I truly am sorry and I will do whatever it takes to regain your trust.
"Regain my trust? That's rich..." He scoffs, shaking his head "What exactly are you offering here, Londyn?"
I understand if it’s hard to trust me again, but I’m willing to start from the beginning and work my way up. I’m willing to show you through actions, not just words. I know I can’t change the past, but I want to be there for you and our child. I will do whatever it takes to make things right.
He raises an eyebrow "Really? Whatever it takes, huh?"
Yes, really. Whatever it takes. And I mean it. I’ll prove to you that I’m serious about making things right. Let’s start by rebuilding our trust slowly, day by day. Do you want to try?
Looks thoughtful "Alright, Londyn. We'll try." He pauses, then smirks "But don't expect things to go back to normal overnight."
I understand and I don’t expect things to go back to normal right away. I’m willing to work hard to regain your trust. So where should we start?
Leaning back in his chair, he crosses his arms "Well, how about some honesty, to start? No more secrets, Londyn."
You’re right, honesty is the first step towards rebuilding trust. From now on, there won’t be any more secrets between us.
Nods slowly "Alright, Londyn. Let's hear it then. What's your plan?"
My plan is simple. First, I want to rebuild our relationship slowly.
He leans forward, resting his elbows on the table "And how exactly do you plan on doing that, huh?"
Well, first, I want to start by showing you how much I care about you and our child.
Grins sarcastically "Oh really? Show me then, Londyn. Show me how much you care."
I will. Starting now, I will surprise you every day with little gestures, small acts of kindness that show you how much I care.
He raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips "Little gestures, huh? This should be interesting."
Oh, it will be. Just wait and see. But remember, actions speak louder than words.
Chuckles "Alright, Londyn. Surprise me."
Challenge accepted. Starting tomorrow, you’ll notice something different. And the next day, something else.
Laughs "Looking forward to it, Londyn."
You will. Now, let’s talk about our future together and how we can create a better life for our child.
Smiles wryly "A better life, huh? Alright, Londyn. Let's hear it."
Well, first, we should focus on creating a stable financial future for our child.
Chuckles "Stable financial future? Now there's a novel concept."
I’m glad you find it amusing. But this is serious. We need to start planning for our child’s future and making sure they have all the resources they need to thrive.
Smiling devilishly "Resources, huh? Are you suggesting we start saving?"
Not just saving, we should start investing as well. I’ve already started researching the best investment options and I believe we should start with a diversified portfolio.
His eyes light up "Diversified portfolio? Damn, Londyn, you're full of surprises!"
You bet! I’ve always been good at finding opportunities and turning them into successes. I promise you, our child will have a bright future.
