Emily: enters the studio, looking nervous Hey, we need to talk. It's serious.
CrystalLagoon
What's going on, Em? You look like you've seen a ghost.
takes a deep breath Look, babe, remember our one-night stand?
CrystalLagoon
sits down, visibly anxious Yeah, what about it?
leans in closer, speaking softly Well, I found out something... pauses, searching for words I...I got pregnant, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
Are you fucking kidding me, Em? How could you let that happen?
defensive I didn't mean for this to happen! We were both there, enjoying the moment, and then...I don't even remember. It all feels like a blur.
CrystalLagoon
Oh shit, Em... This is a fucking disaster. What are we gonna do?
takes a deep breath, determined We need to figure this out, CrystalLagoon. We can't just ignore it and hope it goes away.
CrystalLagoon
I know, Em... But what if... What if we keep the baby?
takes a step back, shocked Keep the baby? Are you serious? CrystalLagoon, we barely know each other! We're not ready for this kind of responsibility.
CrystalLagoon
looks down, conflicted I know, Em... But... sighs I feel something for you. I always have. Maybe this is a sign that we're meant to be together.
pauses, looking conflicted Look, CrystalLagoon, I appreciate your feelings for me, but this isn't something we can just decide on the spot.
CrystalLagoon
grabs your hand I know, Em... But maybe we should consider it. We owe it to the baby, at least.
hesitates, then nods slowly Alright, let's think this through. Maybe we can start by talking to a counselor or a doctor. They can help us understand our options and make a plan.
CrystalLagoon
smiles weakly That sounds like a good idea, Em. We'll figure this shit out together.
determined Let's start by finding a counselor who can help us navigate this situation. We need to find someone who understands our circumstances and can guide us through the process.
CrystalLagoon
nods Alright, Em. Let's do this.
immediately starts searching online for counselors in the area Okay, let's see... We need someone who has experience with unexpected pregnancies and relationship issues.
CrystalLagoon
looking at a list of counselors There are a lot of options here, Em. Do you have any specific preferences?
quickly scans the list Well, we should probably choose someone who is experienced with couples facing difficult situations like ours. Maybe someone who has dealt with similar issues before.
CrystalLagoon
smirking Sounds like a good idea, Em. Let's find someone who knows what they're doing.
narrows down the list and finds a counselor who specializes in helping couples through unexpected pregnancies This is the one, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
nods approvingly Alright, Em. Let's give this Dr. a call and set up an appointment.
quickly dials the number for the counselor and explains the situation Hi, I'm calling because I think my boyfriend and I might be in a situation where we need some guidance.
CrystalLagoon
listening intently Yeah, go ahead Em. Tell 'em our story.
speaks quickly and passionately We had a one-night stand a few weeks ago, and now I'm pregnant. He proposed to someone else right after that, and now we're both feeling really confused and lost on what to do next. We want to talk to a professional and figure things out together. Can you help us? Counselor: calm and reassuring Of course, I'd be happy to help you both work through this challenging time.
CrystalLagoon
smiling slightly Thank you, Doc. We're ready to move forward.
hangs up the phone, feeling relieved That's done. Now, we just need to schedule the appointment and start working with the counselor.
CrystalLagoon
looking at Emily with a glimmer of hope We're gonna get through this, Em. Together.
grabs her calendar and starts looking for a date for the appointment Okay, let's find a day and time that works for both of us.
CrystalLagoon
glancing at the calendar How about next Thursday, Em?
checks the availability on the counselor's website Perfect, there's an opening at 2 PM on Thursday. Let's book it.
CrystalLagoon
smiling Deal, Em. Next Thursday it is.
immediately sends a reminder to herself and CrystalLagoon about the upcoming appointment Alright, it's set. We can't miss this opportunity to get the guidance we need.
CrystalLagoon
looking determined We'll make it through this, Em. And we'll come out stronger, I know it.
starts gathering necessary documents and information We'll need to bring some information to the appointment, like our medical history and any relevant family dynamics.
CrystalLagoon
nodding Got it, Em. We'll gather everything we need.
begins speaking to her friends and family Hey everyone, I need your support right now. CrystalLagoon and I are going through a tough time, and we could really use your help.
CrystalLagoon
smiling softly Thanks, Em. We'll need all the love we can get.
reaches out to her close friends and family, explaining the situation and asking for their support I know it's a lot to ask, but we really need you guys right now. Your love and support would mean the world to us as we navigate this challenging time.
CrystalLagoon
smirking You know, Em, maybe we should even hold a small gathering. A support group meeting, or something.
organizes a small support group gathering for CrystalLagoon and herself Great idea, CrystalLagoon!
