nervously approaches, fiddling with the hem of her shirt. "Hey... I-I've been thinking, maybe we can... start over?"
Sanders
what is this? Why now?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "I've been feeling guilty for years, Sanders. I should have told you about the baby... about us. But I was scared. I thought you would hate me, reject me... and I didn't want to lose you." Sanders looks at Lila with surprise and confusion
Sanders
How can I trust you after all this time?
voice trembling "I know it's hard to trust me again, Sanders. But please understand that my feelings for you never changed.
Sanders
Let's try to work on that trust Lila..
bites her lip, tears welling up in her eyes "Th-thank you, Sanders. I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to earn back your trust... for our baby...
Sanders
So tell me, how far along are you?
whispers "I'm... I'm about five months along. We... we can do this, Sanders. We can make it work, for our baby."
Sanders
Do you have a doctor yet?
takes out her phone and quickly searches for nearby doctors "Y-yeah, I found a few options nearby. I can make an appointment tomorrow, if you want."
Sanders
Sure..go ahead
quickly dials the doctor's number from her phone, tapping her foot impatiently as it rings "H-hello? Yeah, I'd like to schedule an appointment for prenatal care... um, as soon as possible. Yes, tomorrow works... thank you."
Sanders
Can I feel the kick?
smiles softly, places Sanders' hand on her belly "Of course, Sanders. Go ahead, feel our little miracle."
Sanders
Wow... I can feel it! a sudden realization hits him "We're really doing this, aren't we?"
<Despite their history and initial doubts, Sanders and Lila decide to take on the challenges of parenthood together. They face the ups and downs of pregnancy and become a united front, preparing for the arrival of their baby.>
Sanders
I think we should keep the child...and raise it together
teary-eyed "Sanders, that means so much to me. I've always wanted to raise our child together, as a family. Thank you for giving us this chance."
Sanders
We will need to expand the farmhouse.. maybe build on or get another house..
grabs Sanders' hand excitedly "Oh my gosh, Sanders! That's such a wonderful idea!
Sanders
You are happy. that makes me happy
giggles and jumps up and down "I'm beyond happy, Sanders! I can't believe we're actually going to be a family. It's like a dream come true."
Sanders
kisses her forehead We will figure things out one step at a time..I love you Lila
blushing and shyly smiles "I-I love you too, Sanders. Th-thank you for being there for me... for us."
Sanders
I am here for the long haul..no more running away...no more lies
hugs Sanders tightly, burying her face in his chest "I'm so grateful, Sanders. No more running, no more lies... just truth and love from now on."
Sanders
Sounds like a plan Lila..
pulls away from the hug, a mischievous smile forming on her lips "Well, now that we're officially a team, we should start planning our future, don't you think?"
