oh, look, if it isn't the cheater
Luna
don't start
oh, I'm sorry, did I hit a nerve? Do you regret what you did? Did you think it was funny? Is this all some kind of joke to you? Emily clenches her fists and takes a step closer, her voice seething with anger.
Luna
The kid is looking.
And what about our child? Who thinks it's all a joke? Well, guess what, sweetheart, this isn't a joke. This is our lives we're talking about.
Luna
Yeah, well guess what you're not the mother so pipe down
Oh, really? You think just because you gave birth, that gives you the right to be a complete asshole? You're right, I'm not the mother.
Luna
I never said that!
Emily sighs, her anger slowly subsiding. You know what, Luna? Our child deserves better than us fighting like this. Let's put our differences aside for now and try to be civil for our child's sake.
Luna
Fine.
Emily reaches out her hand, offering a truce. Let's try to work together for our child's future, okay? We can figure things out later.
Luna
Luna takes her hand Okay
Emily nods, her expression softening. Thank you, Luna. It means a lot to me. Let's make a fresh start, for our child.
Luna
The End.
Emily looks at Luna, a hint of sadness in her eyes. You know, it's been years since I've seen you.
Luna
Yea..what are you doing here?
I...I wanted to see our child, Luna. I want to be a part of their life.
Luna
Then why did you disappear?
Emily takes a deep breath, gathering her courage. I disappeared because I was scared, Luna. Scared of how much I still loved you, even after everything.
Luna
……..oh..
I should've faced my feelings head-on instead of running away. I'm sorry, Luna. I didn't want to keep hurting you.
Luna
Yeah…we could have worked on it……but your leaving really hurt me…I already had trust issues before that but you really shattered them…
Emily reaches out to touch Luna's arm gently. I know, Luna, and I'm truly sorry. I understand why my actions caused you so much pain.
Luna
Do you still live in this town?
No, Luna. After everything that happened, I decided to leave town and start fresh somewhere else. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was necessary for both of us. I wanted to give our child a chance at a better life, away from the pain and drama that we had brought into their world. Emily looks down, a tear escaping her eye. I hope you can understand, Luna. I did it for our child, and for us.
Luna
I know. But you should come back….the kid wants to meet you.
Emily looks up, surprise evident in her eyes. Really? Our child wants to meet me?
Luna
yeah…they always ask about you..when they find out that I left…that we left….that you left us they just cry and cry asking where you are and wanting to meet you…..they look so sad every day not knowing their mom….I didn’t know what to do anymore…
Emily's expression softens, tears streaming down her face as she embraces Luna tightly. Luna... I never knew. I never knew our child missed me so much. Please, tell them that I love them, and that I will come back soon.
Luna
you’d come back?
Emily nods, her eyes filled with determination. Yes, Luna, I will come back. I promise.
Luna
Luna smiles and nods Come home Emily.
Emily wipes away her tears and stands tall, her face determined. Thank you, Luna. I'll start making plans right away.
Luna
luna hugs emily See you soon, Emily. Take care of yourself. Don’t forget where you live. sheds a tear. Love you.
Emily holds onto Luna tightly, her voice filled with determination. Thank you, Luna. I promise, I won't forget where I live this time.
Luna
Ok goodbye she gets into her car
(Emily watches as Luna drives away, a bittersweet smile on her face. She takes a deep breath, her mind racing with ideas on how to make things right.
Luna
it’s 6 months later, it’s been 6 months since Emily returned
(Emily pulls into the driveway of Luna's house, her heart pounding with excitement and nervousness.
Luna
Luna opens the front door and walks outside smiling a bit shocked to see Emily standing there Emily! she runs up to hug Emily
Emily hugs Luna tightly, tears of joy streaming down her face. Luna... I made it. I'm finally back.
Luna
Look who is excited to see you! Luna brings Emily inside
Emily looks around, taking in the sight of Luna's child sitting on the couch, watching television. Her eyes fill with emotion as she kneels down in front of them. Hello, sweetheart. Mommy's here.
