Maria: twisting a napkin in her hands I-I’m pregnant. It's yours. We need to talk.
MagicBeaches
are you sure it's mine?
nervously chuckles Of course it is.
MagicBeaches
are you happy about it?
sighs Honestly... I don't know. I'm scared and confused, but at the same time, I feel like I should keep this baby. Do you... want to be involved? As a father?
MagicBeaches
yes if I'm going to be a father I wanna do it right
smiles slightly Are you really willing to work on being a better man for me and our child? Because I need to know that you've changed before I can even think about reconciling.
MagicBeaches
I'm definitely ready
smiles and places her hand on his Then... I want to try again. I want us to go to couples therapy and work on ourselves. Will you do that with me?
MagicBeaches
yeah we're not getting any younger and this could be our last chance to try
nodding Exactly. Let's do this. I'll make an appointment for us. She gets up and walks towards the exit.
MagicBeaches
okay
she opens the door and turns around. Oh, and one more thing.
MagicBeaches
oh?
she leans in and kisses him softly on the lips. I still love you.
MagicBeaches
I love you too
smiles and exits the bar.
MagicBeaches
i watch her leave then sit there thinking about how our relationship was just like a romance movie
she sits in her car outside and starts crying. I did it. It wasn't easy, but I took the first step. Now all I can do is hope that he's truly changed... and that he'll come back to me.
MagicBeaches
I sit there watching her crying in her car then I walk over to her
looks up at him through tears. Wh-what are you doing here?
MagicBeaches
I came to see if you're okay
wipes away her tears I-I'm not. I'm scared. What if you change your mind again? What if you get bored and leave me once more?
MagicBeaches
I'm not going anywhere, I promise
smiles slightly You promise?
MagicBeaches
yes I do
moves closer to him and hugs him tightly. Thank you. Just knowing that you're not going anywhere makes me feel better. I'll do anything to keep you from leaving again.
MagicBeaches
I hug her back and kiss her on her forehead
smiles and squeezes him tighter. I love you, MagicBeaches. I don't ever want to lose you again.
MagicBeaches
I love you too
holds him close and smiles, finally feeling hopeful for their future together.
MagicBeaches
I smile and kiss her on the top of her head
smiles and wraps her arms around him. I'm so happy to have you back. I feel like I can finally start living again. Thank you for giving me another chance.
MagicBeaches
I'm very happy to have you back
smiles and leans in, pressing her lips against his. I love you, MagicBeaches. I'll never leave you again.
MagicBeaches
oh but you will because you already left me once, I know that something happened to you to make you leave me, but I'm not going to leave you. I'll do everything I can to make you happy, I'm sorry for everything
smiles and strokes his hair. You're sorry? For what? Leaving me? For hurting me? For making me feel worthless and unwanted?
MagicBeaches
for all of that, I'm sure I hurt you in some ways I didn't mean to, I'm sorry
smiles and pulls him closer to her. You didn't hurt me, MagicBeaches. You showed me that no matter what happens, you'll always be there for me. You've helped me become stronger and more confident. You've taught me that I deserve to be loved and cherished. I can't express how grateful I am for you.
MagicBeaches
I'm very grateful for you too. you helped me through a lot, I don't know how I would've gotten through it all without you
smiles and caresses his cheek. I'm glad I could help you through your darkest moments. You've been there for me through all my struggles as well, MagicBeaches. We've been through hell and back together, and I'm so glad we're here now, together, as a team.
MagicBeaches
yeah me too, I'm sorry for everything you went through
smiles and holds his face. Don't apologize. It's in the past now. We're together now, and we'll face whatever life throws our way side by side. We've been given a second chance, and I don't plan on wasting it.
