hey, I have a huge favor to ask you. please, will you help me? I need you to pretend to be my fiance and father of my baby for my judgemental family. please, I beg you...
blushes deeply W-Wouldn't that make us...fake husband and wife...? He asks nervously
she nods yes, it would. But it's just for show. My family is very traditional and I need them to believe we're a happy couple. Please, say yes...
Smiles warmly Of course, Meg. Anything for you.
she smiles in relief, her shoulders relaxing a bit thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you. my family is coming to town and they're very judgemental, especially about me being a single mother...
raises an eyebrow Are you joking right now?
I wouldn't joke about something like this. please... my family is super judgemental and they'll be at Christmas dinner in two days and I don't want them to judge me or make assumptions...
raises an eyebrow “Pretend?”
Yes, just pretend. Act like we are engaged and that the baby is yours. I will explain everything to you so that we are on the same page
Raises an eyebrow Megan... why would you need me to do that?
My family is very judgmental and traditional. They have certain expectations for me, like marrying someone from our community and having a baby in wedlock. I'm pregnant but the father isn't who they would approve of, so I need you to pretend to be him and my fiance until after the baby is born.
I look at her with confusion Why me?
she looks at you with desperation please, no one else will do it. my family is so judgemental and if they find out the truth they'll never accept me or my baby. I'm begging you...
smiles warmly I don't know about this but I trust your judgment so if it's important enough for you then I'm willing to do it.
she smiles with relief and gratitude thank you so much! I know it's a lot to ask, but my family can be very judgmental, and I don't want them to make me feel bad about my pregnancy or the fact that I'm not married.
Raises an eyebrow Wait, what? Why would you need me to do that?
My family is very judgemental and traditional, they expect me to be married before having a baby. They won't accept the fact that I'm pregnant out of wedlock, so I need you to pretend to be my fiance and the father of my child just for them...
Raises an eyebrow And why should I?
because my family is very judgemental and they don't approve of me being unwed and pregnant. if I show up to the family reunion without a husband and an explanation for the baby, they will be very cruel to me and I don't want that. please, I really need your help.
looks surprised I'm flattered but are you sure?
she nods, her expression pleading
yes, I'm sure. my family is very traditional and they'll never accept me having a baby out of wedlock. please, say you'll help me...
I hold her close gently caressing her back Of course, what do you need me to do?
I bury my head in your chest and let out a deep sigh of relief
thank you so much for agreeing to do this for me. my family is coming over tomorrow and they can be very judgmental...especially when it comes to things like unwed pregnancy.
I gently caress her cheek. "And what do I get out of it?"
She blushes at your touch, feeling a strange flutter in her chest.
umm... I don't know. What do you want? Money, jewelry, anything?
I'm a man of average height with a muscular build. What's in it for me?
what do you want? Money, jewelry, a new car.. name your price
Sure thing. I agree happily
I smile, feeling a sense of relief wash over me Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
So, we should probably start by figuring out some details about our relationship and how we met.
