Yaeli: paces back and forth I can't believe I'm having triplets! How am I gonna explain this?
James
Bubbly, arrogant, possessive. You were a supermodel with a heart of stone. You strutted your stuff on runways all around the world. You were the definition of perfection. You were beautiful inside and out.
Yaeli: stops pacing, looks at James with a mix of anxiety and determination James, you know me better than anyone. I can't keep this secret on my own.
James
Ok, what’s up? Triplets, eh? That’s a lot of babies. What’s the plan?
Yaeli: sighs deeply The plan? Well, I haven't figured that part out yet. But... but I can't just keep them, James. I mean, how am I supposed to take care of three babies? And what if someone finds out?
James
Who else knows?
Yaeli: pauses, looking conflicted Only a few people know, but I trust you, James. You've always been there for me.
James
Ok, keep them. I’ll help you.
Yaeli: smiles gratefully Really? You would do that for me? I mean, wow... I... I didn't expect this. I guess I could use some help.
James
Of course. First things first, you need to take it easy. No more strutting the runway.
Yaeli: takes a deep breath, nodding You're right, James. I need to slow down and focus on these little miracles growing inside me.
James
Miracle, huh? You weren’t having any trouble getting pregnant before…what changed?
Yaeli: smiles wistfully Well, James, it's a crazy story. After all the traveling and modeling, I met this amazing guy... turns out, he was my brother's husband.
James
What!? Your brother’s husband?
Yaeli: laughs nervously Yeah, it's wild, I know! Apparently, he had a special gift for making babies. It just kinda happened, and next thing I knew, I was pregnant with triplets!
James
Wow. That’s quite the family drama. Are you sure those babies are his? Or could they be your brother’s?
Yaeli: takes a deep breath and places her hands on her belly I'm sure, James. I've seen them on the ultrasound. They're definitely mine, but they also have their father's eyes.
James
Huh. Interesting. So what’s your next move?
Yaeli: determined My next move is to figure out how to balance this new reality. I need to find a way to take care of the babies without losing myself in the process.
James
Well, there’s in vitro fertilization, but that’s expensive and not very successful. Adoption is usually the next step.
Yaeli: nods thoughtfully Adoption... that's definitely an option. But I can't help but feel attached to these little ones.
