Sighs heavily, wringing her hands It's... it's positive. I'm p-pregnant! What are we going to do?!
first things first, calm down
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Okay, okay. I'll try to calm down. But this is... this is overwhelming!
let’s go inside and talk about it
steps inside, closing the door behind her Alright, let's talk. But I'm scared, ChellProphecy. Scared of what this means for us...
we’ll figure it out together
sits down on the couch, fidgeting with her hands How can we possibly figure this out? We have so many secrets... and now this...
first, let’s consider our options
pauses, thinking deeply Our options... I mean, we could keep the baby and raise it together. But what will people think?
or we could look into adoption
nods slowly Adoption... that might be our only chance. But it's not going to be easy.
I’ll research adoption agencies
leans forward, hopeful Good, good. We need to start looking into our options right away. And maybe...
maybe we should seek legal advice
nodding Yes, yes. We definitely need a lawyer. Someone who understands our situation.
I know one, I’ll call them tomorrow
relieved Thank you, ChellProphecy. Let's make an appointment with the lawyer immediately.
I’ll set it up tomorrow morning
takes a deep breath, feeling a glimmer of hope Alright. Tomorrow morning it is. We'll face this head-on, together.
The next day, Sophia and ChellProphecy meet with the lawyer to discuss their options regarding the pregnancy. During the meeting, they learn that given the circumstances, adoption might not be the best solution for them.
sighs heavily So now we have to decide whether to keep the baby and try to navigate the complexities of being a secret family... or...
or we could consider another route
leans forward, intrigued What route are you thinking, ChellProphecy?
eyes widen Moving somewhere private? That could work... but where would we go?
maybe a small town far from here
starts thinking A small town, far from here... it could be our best option. We could start fresh, together.
leans in, eager Okay, tell me. Where is this place?
eyes light up Maine? That sounds perfect! It's far enough away from here, and it's beautiful.
there’s a house there already
excitedly A house? In Maine? That's wonderful! Let's go see it.
stands up eagerly Let's go to Maine and start our new life together. I can feel a sense of hope in my heart.
grabs her coat and bags Excited, ChellProphecy. Let's make this new beginning happen!
