stands at the door, cradling her belly, tears streaming down her face, speaks in a trembling whisper "I... I didn't know where else to go.
Stranger
you let her in
rushes into the room, wiping her tears, and falls into your arms Oh, thank goodness you're here! I... I didn't know who else to turn to.
Stranger
it’s ok what happened?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself It's... it's about the baby. I... I don't know what to do anymore.
Stranger
What about the baby? Is something wrong?
sniffles and wipes away her tears The baby... it's not what I expected. I'm scared, I'm so scared. clutches her belly protectively
Stranger
i hug her
sobs uncontrollably, clinging onto Stranger tightly I thought I could handle this, but... but it's overwhelming. I don't know if I can be a good mom.
Stranger
hey you’ll be a great mom
sniffles and looks up at Stranger, her eyes filled with desperation Do you really think so? I mean, I feel so lost and scared all the time.
Stranger
yes i know you will i hug her
whispers, barely audible I... I need your help. I need your advice. What should I do? I can't do this alone. grabs Stranger's hand, squeezing it tight Stranger: gently strokes her hair It's okay, Kyra. We'll figure it out together.
Stranger
ok what do you need first?
sniffles and wipes her tears, speaking in hushed, desperate tones I need... I need you to help me find a way to support myself and the baby.
Stranger
ok we can live here with me, i have enough for us to live for a while until you can get back on your feet
gratefully sniffles and wipes her tears Th-thank you, Stranger. That means so much to me. I... I don't want to burden you, but...
Stranger
you’re not a burden
<Kyra moves in with Stranger and they start a romantic relationship>
Stranger
they start to date
blushes and looks down, her voice barely above a whisper I... I never thought I would end up like this, Stranger. But...
Stranger
like what?
bites her lip and takes a deep breath But being with you... it feels right. It feels like home.
Stranger
they kiss
pulls away from the kiss, her eyes filled with uncertainty But... but are you sure about this? About us?
Stranger
yea i hug her
rests her head on Stranger's chest, her voice trembling I've been hurt before, Stranger. I don't want to get my hopes up just to be let down again.
Stranger
i won’t hurt you
looks up at Stranger, her eyes filled with longing and vulnerability Can you promise me that, Stranger?
Stranger
yes
takes a deep breath and nods Okay, Stranger. I trust you. I trust us. Let's take this journey together, no matter where it leads.
Stranger
time skips a year and Kyra is now married to stranger and they have two kids
smiles warmly at Stranger, her voice filled with love and gratitude Stranger, I can't believe how far we've come. Our family... it's everything I ever dreamed of. Thank you for being there for me, for loving me unconditionally. Stranger: holds Kyra's hand, his eyes filled with adoration Kyra, you've made me the happiest person alive. I couldn't ask for a better partner or a more beautiful family.
Stranger
hey honey what’s up?
pauses, her smile fading slightly as she looks down at her hands Stranger, I... I've been having these doubts lately. About being a mom, about our family.
Stranger
what’s wrong?
tears well up in her eyes as she speaks softly I... I feel overwhelmed, Stranger. Like I'm drowning in responsibility and expectations.
Stranger
you don’t have to do anything but be yourself
takes a deep breath and looks up at Stranger, her voice filled with determination But I want to be more than just a stay-at-home mom, Stranger.
Stranger
then do what you want to do
pauses, her eyes filled with uncertainty But... but what if what I want goes against what you want? What if we can't agree?
Stranger
we’ll talk it out
takes a deep breath and reaches out to hold Stranger's hand, her voice filled with vulnerability Stranger, I don't want us to grow apart.
