Jake: tightens hug I-I... need to tell you, b-but, it's... hard. You're my world.

Etchrva

Jake: grabs Etchrva's arm, desperate No, wait! Please, just hear me out! It's important, I promise!
Etchrva

Jake: takes a step back, his face filled with anxiety Okay, here goes... Etchrva, I... I'm... pregnant. Pregnant with your child.
Etchrva

Etchrva

Jake: grabs Etchrva's hands, pleading Please, Etchrva, I can't bear the thought of losing you or our child. Give me a chance...
Etchrva

Jake: sobs with relief, wrapping his arms around Etchrva Thank you... thank you so much, love. I promise I'll do everything I can to be the best father and partner to you both.
Etchrva
she smiles
Jake: wipes away his tears, determination in his eyes Now that we've got that settled, I have another confession to make...
Etchrva
what is it?
Jake: pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts Okay, here goes... Etchrva, I'm... I'm actually a secret agent.
Etchrva
secret agent?
Jake: stands up straight, a hint of pride in his voice Yes, a secret agent. It's not something I can talk about freely, but...
Etchrva
she listens
Jake: starts pacing, his voice becoming hushed and urgent It's dangerous work, Etchrva. I've seen things, done things... things I can't talk about.
Etchrva
why are you telling me this?
Jake: stops pacing, looking directly into Etchrva's eyes Because I need you to understand the risks involved.
