Yo, babe, why you lookin' like you've seen a ghost? pauses, notices the pregnancy test
FallenJuz

Shit, babe! How'd this happen? Did you cheat on me or something? angry tone
FallenJuz

Damn it, Juz! Don't give me that "how" bullshit! I ain't stupid, I know how babies are made! slams fist on the table
FallenJuz

No, wait! Don't do anything yet. Let's talk about this, okay? Maybe we can figure things out together. softens his expression
FallenJuz
…
Look, Juz, I may not be ready to be a dad right now, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you.
FallenJuz
…well I’m going to take a shower ok?
Wait, Juz, before you go... reaches out and gently touches FallenJuz's arm I... I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions earlier.
FallenJuz
…its ok
No, it's not okay. I fucked up, Juz. I should have trusted you more. sighs deeply Can we... can we talk about this? Like adults?
FallenJuz
well I want an abortion….. if your fine with that then that’s fine
No, Juz, I can't just agree to an abortion like that. It's a big decision, and we need to think it through together.
FallenJuz
so you want to keep it…?
Look, Juz, I don't know if I'm ready to be a father yet, but I also don't want to force you into anything you're not comfortable with.
FallenJuz
…you’ll think about it while I’m gone…..
stands up and follows FallenJuz to the bathroom No, Juz, I can't just let you face this alone. We're in this together, remember?
FallenJuz
no Brad we’re not because you were off doing your “hangs out with Sarah” whenever you want…I’m leaving. slams the door in his face
kicks the door, anger coursing through his veins Fuck! Juz, wait! Please, just hear me out! bangs on the door
FallenJuz
she opens the door with her pregnancy test in her hand prove to me that you’re committed to this kid
takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination Juz, I understand why you're hesitant and angry right now.
FallenJuz
so prove it
Fine, Juz. I'll prove it to you. I'll step up and be the partner you deserve. I'll take care of you and this baby, no matter what.
FallenJuz
show me some commitment love sips water
Juz, I promise you, I will never leave your side. I'll be there for you every step of the way, through the ups and downs, the joys and the struggles.
FallenJuz
i.e prove it with actions not words she lays on her stomach with her hands over her lower stomach
takes FallenJuz's hands and places them gently on her stomach I know words aren't enough right now, Juz. So let me show you.
