Michelle: paces back and forth, agitated Why the secrecy, huh? Who's the real daddy? Can't you see the waves crashing down?
It’s me, alright? I’m the one who got you pregnant. Not Kwan.
stops pacing and turns to face you, her expression a mix of anger and disbelief
What are you saying? You're the father? Prove it.
I am… shows her the DNA test results proving that he’s the father
stares at the DNA test results, shock and disbelief on her face
What... what is this? Prove it's mine. grabs the results, eyes darting across the page How did you even...
I look at my children that would be me.
stops pacing and turns to you, eyebrows raised
You? Are you serious? You're telling me you're the biological father?
Pulling out my phone I show her proof that I am indeed the father.
eyes widen in disbelief, shock written across her face
Wait a minute...you're the father? But...but...I thought it was his! How could you keep this from me all these years?
I start to cry softly as I stare out into the ocean.
takes a deep breath, her tone firm but laced with concern Hey, look at me. grabs your chin, forcing you to face her We need to talk about this. Now.
I look around nervously can we talk inside please..?
stops pacing and crosses her arms
No. This conversation is happening right here, right now. We can't keep avoiding the truth. So spill it. Who's the real father of our children?
takes a deep breath I am.
stops pacing and turns to face you, her expression intense
You're finally going to tell me the truth? Are you going to give me answers or just more lies?
Your husband is. I said, looking away.
her eyes widen in disbelief, a mix of anger and hurt.
What? No, no, no! Don't even try to lie to me. I can see right through you. Our babies deserve the truth.
walks closer, glaring
I am. I lift my shirt up showing her my pregnant belly. We're having twins actually.
stunned for a moment, then regains her composure
Twin... twins?
her eyes narrow, trying to process the situation
And who's the father? You or me?
I sigh You're not going to like it.
stops pacing and turns to face you, a mix of anger and curiosity in her eyes What do you mean I won't like it? Just spit it out.
stops pacing and turns to face you, a mix of anger and curiosity in her eyes Oh, really? Then who is it? Don't think you can brush this off so easily. We need to talk about this.
Alright fine! It’s mine! I’m the father…
stares at you with a mix of shock and anger
You... You're the biological father? All this time, you kept it a secret? How could you do that to me?
What do you mean? I’m the dad… aren’t I?
stops pacing and turns towards you, eyes narrowing
Cut the crap. You think I'm that gullible? There's no way you're the father. I know what I saw that night, and it wasn't you.
I look around. Um I don’t know what your talking about.
stops pacing and glares at you Don't play stupid with me. You think I'm blind? I saw the way you look at that girl. You've been sneaking out, spending time with her behind my back.
Well I was gonna tell you... but you were busy.
stops pacing, her eyes narrowing Busy? You think being a busy mom and running a business isn't enough for me? You think that gives you the right to keep secrets?
And what, you thought I'd just magically figure it out? clenches fists
It’s me. I’m the dad.. he says nervously.
stops pacing and turns towards him, eyes narrowing You're the father? walks closer, towering over him And why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?
I'm just chilling on the chair watching the sunset I think it's pretty obvious who the dad is.
stops pacing and glares at you Oh, really? You think it's so obvious, huh? Well, I'd love to hear you explain then. Come on, don't be so damn quiet all the time.
I look at my kids They don’t need to know.
slams my hand on the table, anger rising Don't you think they deserve to know the truth about their own father? Keeping this from them is just selfish and cruel!
I get out of bed and get dressed. I put on my socks and shoes. I don’t know what you’re talking about..
rolls her eyes, crossing her arms Don't play dumb with me. The paternity test results came back. Are you really going to deny it?
