I can't believe I'm saying this... He's not the dad!
Brooks
What? You are lying. Is it some prank?
takes a deep breath and pulls out a paternity test No, Brooks, I'm serious. Look at this. It's the test results. They're not a match.
Brooks
Who is the father?
pauses, looking down I... I don't even know. It was a one-night stand. I didn't know I was with someone else that night.
Brooks
what how could you not know?
sighs heavily Look, Brooks, I was drunk. And this guy, he was just a random guy. We were both out of our minds.
Brooks
I'm sorry, what happened again?
nervously Okay, so... I was at a bar, having a tough day. And this guy, he was there too. We started talking and drinking. Things got blurry, you know?
Brooks
how much did you drink?
runs her fingers through her hair I had... maybe five or six shots. And he had... um, I don't even know.
Brooks
so you two hooked up right then and there?
nods Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. We went back to his place, and... stuff happened.
Brooks
so do you know where he is or can we find him?
starts rummaging through her bag No, I don't have any idea where he is. But wait, there's something... pulls out a crumpled piece of paper
Brooks
what is it?
It's his phone number. I scribbled it on this paper. Maybe we can call him and ask if he remembers anything?
Brooks
let me see it.
hands over the crumpled piece of paper to Brooks Here, take a look. I don't know if it's still valid or not.
Brooks
yeah it is.
Brooks and Mia decide to track down the man from Mia's past and confront him about the paternity of her child
Brooks
why didn't you tell me that you had sex with someone else?
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes I didn't want to hurt you, Brooks. I was scared of what you would think of me.
Brooks
why would I judge you?
sniffles I just... I didn't want to ruin our relationship. We had been together for so long, and I didn't want anything to come between us.
Brooks
hugs you tightly
pulls away from the hug and looks Brooks in the eyes But now, I can't keep this secret anymore.
Brooks
why?
Because it's unfair to both of us. You deserve to know the truth about our future together. And besides, I can't go through this alone anymore.
