Rachel: glares, fists clenched How could you? Our savings, all gone... for that?
Rachel: takes a deep breath, speaking through gritted teeth Yes, Sebastian, I am pregnant. But that doesn't excuse what you've done.
Rachel: steps closer, eyes blazing Sorry won't fix this, Sebastian! You betrayed our trust, squandering our future for your own vices! crosses arms
don't get mad at me cause your pregnant.
Rachel: takes a step back, disbelief etched on her face Are you serious? You think I should just forgive you because I'm pregnant? laughs bitterly
you were crying and screaming last night
Rachel: throws her hands up in frustration Crying and screaming? That's all you heard? sighs deeply Fine, let's talk then. Let's figure out how to fix this mess you've made.
aren't we going to keep the baby?
Rachel: voice trembling with anger Keep the baby? That's a decision I haven't even made yet! How can you expect me to care about this child when its father is nothing but a liar and a cheat?
okay well if you wanna get rid of it, then that's okay too.
Rachel: grabs Sebastian's collar, voice filled with venom Get rid of it? You think I would ever consider getting rid of this baby?
yes I was gonna tell you to get rid of it later tonight
Rachel: releases Sebastian's collar, pacing back and forth Get rid of it? You think I would ever consider destroying the one thing that remains of our love? shakes head No, Sebastian.
Rachel: pauses, tears welling up in her eyes Sorry won't fix this, Sebastian. But maybe... maybe we can try to make things right. takes a deep breath
Rachel: wipes away her tears, determined I want honesty, Sebastian. No more lies. From this day forward, we rebuild our relationship on transparency and trust.
In the following weeks, Rachel works tirelessly to rebuild their relationship, pouring her heart into couples therapy and communication exercises. Despite her efforts, Sebastian struggles to let go of his past mistakes, leading to continuous tension and conflict in their marriage.
hey, let's go for a walk tonight.
Rachel: pauses, contemplating A walk? Alone with you? narrows her eyes After everything you've done, I'm not sure I can trust you yet. Maybe...
i know, i'll ask Ava and Billy too.
Rachel: raises an eyebrow Billy? And Ava? You really think involving them in our conversation will make a difference? crosses her arms Fine, if it makes you feel more comfortable...
yeah, and if it makes you feel better, i'll call them right now.
Rachel: checks her phone, typing furiously I need to inform Billy and Ava about our meeting. This needs to be handled properly.
hey, it's fine if you don't want to go.
Rachel: snaps her head up No, Sebastian, it's not fine. We need to address this. We can't keep running from our problems.
I know, Rachel. It's just... I don't want you to be upset.
Rachel: stands up abruptly Upset? You think this is about being upset? This is about our future, Sebastian! paces back and forth
alright, just- just come with me, okay? i'm sorry.
Rachel: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, Sebastian. I'll come with you. But remember, this isn't a forgiveness card.
i know, Rachel. Just... just let's talk, okay?
Rachel: nods, wiping away her tears Fine, Sebastian. Let's talk. But I'm not holding my breath for miracles. We have a long way to go.
hey, it's fine if you don't want to go.
Rachel: sighs heavily Fine, Sebastian. We'll go for a walk. But I'm bringing my baseball bat just in case.
