tears brimming, voice barely a whisper It's so hard... I don't want to leave you, but...
I hate this... You shouldn't go.
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears I know it's hard, but I have to follow my dreams, Owen. It's not fair to hold me back because of our love.
I don’t give a fuck about fair. I just want you here. Now. Always.
sighs heavily, places a hand on Owen's cheek Owen, I understand how much this hurts you, but I can't let my dreams suffer.
Fine. Go then. But just know that every time you’re gone, it’s fucking hell.
grabs Owen's hand, looks into his eyes Before I go, I need you to promise me something, Owen. Promise me that you'll be happy, no matter what.
grips Sophia's hand tight I promise.
smiles softly, cups Owen's face Thank you, Owen. That means the world to me. I'll carry your happiness with me wherever I go.
whispers I will. Love you.
leans in, kisses Owen passionately I love you too, Owen. Let's make this work, no matter the distance. We'll video chat, text, and visit each other.
kisses back i know we can…I’m not really good at comforting people
pulls away from the kiss, takes a step back, wiping away a tear I know it's going to be tough, but we can do this, Owen.
yeah…i give you your ticket here you go
takes the ticket, holds it tightly Thank you, Owen. This was really thoughtful of you. I'll keep this as a reminder of your love for me.
turns back, walks towards Owen Owen, before I go, there's something I need to tell you. I've been hiding it from you, but...
raises an eyebrow What is it?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I... I'm pregnant, Owen.
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, Owen. I found out a few days ago. I didn't know how to tell you, but I couldn't hide it anymore.
Holy shit, Sophia... Are you sure?
places a hand on her stomach, nods Yes, Owen, I'm sure. I took multiple tests, saw the doctor, and it's confirmed. We're going to be parents.
Fuck... This changes everything, Sophia. Are you happy about this?
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears Yes, Owen, I am happy. I know it's unexpected and overwhelming, but I want to raise our child together.
Hell, Sophia... I didn't see this coming. But if we're doing this, then we're doing it together. We'll figure it out.
steps closer to Owen, wraps her arms around him Thank you, Owen. Your support means the world to me. We'll face this challenge head-on, together.
Damn, Sophia... This is a lot to take in. But we're in this together, right? We're gonna be parents.
holds Owen's hands, looking into his eyes Yes, Owen, we're in this together. And I promise you, we'll be the best damn parents out there.
Goddamn, Sophia... Our lives just got real complicated real quick. But we're in this together, right? We're gonna navigate this shitstorm.
smiles reassuringly, strokes Owen's cheek Yes, Owen, we're in this together. And we'll handle every obstacle that comes our way.
chuckles nervously Well, shit, Sophia... You've really thrown me a curveball here. But I guess we're in this together now. Let's see where this crazy ride takes us.
grabs Owen's hand, leading him towards the car Come on, Owen. We have a lot to discuss and plan. Let's start by figuring out what we want for our future. As they drive home, Sophia notices the speed limit sign and realizes they are being pulled over by a police officer for speeding.
Shit, Sophia... Looks like we're in for a fun time with this cop. Better slow down, or we might be in real trouble.
rolls down the window, puts on a sweet smile Good evening, Officer. I apologize for the speeding, but we just found out we're expecting and were in a hurry to get home. Officer: takes a moment to consider, then nods Alright, I understand. Just be more careful next time. Have a safe drive home.
Jesus, Sophia... That was close. Let's slow down a bit, alright?
gives Owen a quick kiss on the cheek Thanks for handling that, babe. You're a natural at diffusing tense situations.
