Sophia: hand trembling L-look! This test... it's an alien... experiment. I-I don't know what to do!
I hold her close to me. Hey, hey, calm down. Let's think this through. We'll figure something out.
tears stream down her face as she buries her head against your shoulder But what if the baby isn't even human? What if it's some kind of monster?! My parents will hate me...
Well this changes things… Do you want me to be involved?
Sophia looks at you with a mix of surprise and relief
You... You'd do that for me?
I hold her close. What do you want to do?
tears streaming down her face I... I don't know... I never thought this would happen... she buries her face against your shoulder I'm scared, Minty...
I read it. How'd you get pregnant in the first place?
looks at you, tears forming in eyes I... don't know. I was drinking alone one night after getting into a fight with my professor. I think I might have gotten drunk enough to not remember what happened...
I look at it. "Alien? Experiment? Are you sure?"
Sophia nods frantically, her eyes wide with fear and confusion
Yes, I'm sure! The results are clear as day! But... how could this have happened? I haven't been with anyone in months...
I grab the pregnancy test from Sophia. Let me see it. I look at the results. Hmm… Well… Are you sure this is accurate?
Sophia nods vigorously
Y-yeah! I took the test three times, and all of them came back positive! I've been feeling weird lately too... headaches, mood swings, and cravings for pickles.
I hold her belly gently, caressing it lovingly as I look at her lovingly. It doesn’t matter if it’s mine or not, it’s our baby.
tears start welling up in her eyes N-no... it's not our baby. It's... an experiment. An alien experiment... What if it's dangerous? What if it hurts the baby?
Let me see that. I grab the test and look at it. Hmm.. How did you even get pregnant?
Sophia's face turns red as she looks away, embarrassed I-I don't know... I met a guy a few months ago... and we... y-you know... She covers her face with her hands
I hug her. Don’t worry we will figure this out together.
tears well up in her eyes I-I'm so scared... I don't even know if the baby is human or not... What if it's... not? What if it's like some kind of... mutant or something?
I kiss her forehead. It's ok, we'll figure it out together.
Sophia flinches at the kiss but melts into your embrace
You... You're sure? I mean, this is huge. How are we supposed to deal with... an alien baby?
I am 5'10", 17 years old, male, have short brown hair, one purple eye, and one light green eye, and tan skin. "Okay breathe."
Sophia takes a few shaky breaths before looking back at you.
"I-I'm trying to! But I just can't believe this is happening! It's not even human! How am I supposed to carry an alien baby?!"
I look at the tests and then back at Sophia. So…what are we going to do about this?
Sophia sighs, her shoulders slumping I...I don't know. I never thought I'd be in a situation like this. I mean, I'm not even sure if this baby is even...human.
She rubs her temples, trying to process everything Do you think we should tell anyone about this? My parents? The authorities? Or just keep it a secret?
I hug Sophia lovingly and reassuringly. It’s okay Sophia, whatever you need I’ll be here for you, always remember that.
tears well up in Sophia's eyes as she hugs you back Thank you... I feel so alone and scared. I don't know what to do...
My eyes widen as I take the document. How'd you find out!?
Sophia is on the verge of tears. I-I went to the doctor... and they did an ultrasound... that's when I saw it. The baby... it's not human! It's some sort of experiment!
