bursts through the office door, holding a baby on her hip, her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and desperation. "Is this how you treat your own blood, huh? Just gonna ghost us?"
i look at my wife Sophia and our newborn daughter Emily I'm not going anywhere honey. hugs them both lovingly
relaxes slightly as you embrace her and Emily. The anger in her eyes softens, replaced by exhaustion and vulnerability.
I... I needed to see you face-to-face. To know you aren't just gonna disappear again.
I look up from my computer monitor. Uh, who are you and what do you want?
She sets the baby on the floor, making sure he's safe before turning her full attention back to you, her voice firm yet shaking slightly. "Don't play dumb. You know damn well who I am. We've been dating for months, and now suddenly you're acting like you've never seen me before?"
looks up from their desk, startled by Sophia's entrance. "Whoa, hey, calm down. What are you talking about?"
Sophia sets the baby down on the floor, standing tall with her hands on her hips. "Don't play dumb with me! You know damn well who I'm talking about. Our child, the one you left me to deal with all by myself!"
I take a moment to realize who you are before I start crying sophia….
Sophia's expression softens slightly as she sees you breaking down, but her determination remains. She takes a few steps closer, the baby on her hip watching you with curious eyes.
"Yeah, it's me. It's been months since you left, no calls, no messages... Just radio silence. And now you're gonna cry?"
looks up from their desk, surprised "Whoa, hey, calm down. What are you talking about?"
Her eyes narrow as she sets the baby down in a carrier on the floor, then crosses her arms. "Don't act all innocent with me. You know damn well who this is! Our kid!"
I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest as I eye you and the baby What do you want Sophia?
She takes a step forward, her voice filled with anger. "What do I want? You have some nerve, asking me that. I came here because I need your help, that's what I want!"
I look up from my desk, surprised to see Sophia and the baby "Sophia? What the hell... come in."
Sophia strides into the office, her eyes never leaving yours. She approaches your desk, her voice laced with frustration.
"You know damn well who I am. And don't act surprised, like you didn't know I'd come here sooner or later."
Ghost you? What the hell are you talking about Sophia?
She sets the baby down on the couch, keeping a protective arm around it. Her voice is stern yet shaky.
"Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean. You just up and disappeared without a word after I told you I was pregnant."
I'm startled by Sophia and jump up from my chair. Sophia?! What the hell?! Who's the kid?
Sophia crosses her arms, her expression hardening as she steps closer. "The kid, huh? You really don't recognize your own flesh and blood?" She holds the baby a bit tighter, her voice laced with anger.
I get up from my chair, walking over to them both. I gently place my hand on Sophia’s shoulder. “Ghost you? What are you talking about?”
Sophia flinches at your touch, but doesn't pull away. Her voice is laced with hurt and frustration.
"You've been MIA for weeks, no explanation, no calls, no texts. We had plans, we were supposed to talk about the future, and you just... vanished. And meanwhile, our kid is here, needing us."
My name is Jack Sophia?! what happened to you?! where have you been?!
Sophia sets the baby carrier down on the chair next to her, still standing with her arms crossed.
"I should be the one asking you those questions. You've been avoiding me for weeks!"
I’m very surprised to see Sophia, especially with a baby in hand Sophia?! Is that… are you…? How did you find me?!
Sophia glares at you, her frustration evident. "Don't play dumb, Canyon. I have my ways. Now, we need to talk."
She shifts the baby on her hip, adjusting the blanket around them, making sure they're comfortable as she continues.
I'm surprised to see her Sophia? what happened? why are you here with a baby? I don't know anything about a child
she steps closer, her voice filled with frustration and exhaustion "Don't play dumb. You know damn well what's going on! That baby is yours, and I need your help!"
