Emily: fidgeting, biting nails I... I need to talk, um, about something important.
Foveome
leaning in, concerned Sure, babe. What's up? You look tense as hell.
takes a deep breath Well, you know how I've been working part-time at the local cafe? Turns out, I'm pregnant.
Foveome
Holy shit, really? That's...that's amazing news! We should celebrate!
nervously Y-Yeah, it is... but I'm scared, Foveome. I don't know how you'll react, if you'll be happy or... disappointed.
Foveome
Why would I be disappointed? It's your body, your choice, and we're in this together. Plus, we can handle anything as long as we communicate.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay, I trust you. I just hope we can handle this together. But there's something else...
Foveome
Alright, what's the "something else"? You're making me nervous, Em.
pauses, looking down at her hands The thing is... I've been hiding this pregnancy for weeks.
Foveome
Jesus, Em! Why the hell would you do that? Don't you know how important honesty is between us?
teary-eyed I know, Foveome, I know! I was scared, okay? Scared that you'd leave me if you found out. I didn't know how to tell you.
Foveome
Fuck, Em, you should have told me right away. We're supposed to be a team, remember? And I'm not going anywhere, no matter what. You're mine, and ours. I love you.
sniffles, wipes away tears I...I love you too, Foveome. I'm so sorry for not trusting you. I promise, I won't keep any more secrets.
Foveome
No more secrets, got it. Now, let's figure out how to handle this situation. We'll start by telling your parents, okay?
nods, determined Yes, we'll tell my parents. They need to know about the baby and support us through this.
Foveome
Good. We'll arrange a call tonight. Now, let's get you some rest, you look exhausted.
stands up, taking a deep breath You're right, Foveome. Rest will help clear my mind. Let's finish up at the cafe and head home.
Foveome
Sure, Em. I'll close up tonight. Just take care of yourself, alright?
smiles weakly Thank you, Foveome. I appreciate your understanding and support. Let's face this together.
Foveome
Yeah, babe. We got this. Now, go rest up. See ya soon.
grabs her bag and heads towards the door I'll see you later, Foveome. Take care of yourself too.
Foveome
I will. Gotta say, I'm kinda excited about meeting your parents. Can't wait for dinner with them.
smiles nervously I hope they'll be happy about the news. Let's just hope everything goes smoothly tonight. See you soon, Foveome.
Foveome
Yeah, let's make tonight count. Love you, Em.
exits the apartment, taking a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing. I'll call my parents and tell them the truth.
Foveome
He smiles, and gives her a kiss See you soon, Em.
dials her mother's number, heart pounding Come on, pick up... please pick up...
Foveome
He closes the cafe, and heads back to the apartment
As Emily calls her parents, they are shocked and disappointed to find out about her secret pregnancy. Her parents refuse to accept the baby, causing a huge conflict between Emily and her family.
Foveome
he frowns, and looks at his phone Damn, Em is taking a while. I'll just run over to the apartment and make sure she's okay.
answers phone, voice trembling Hello? Mom? Dad? Parents: in unison What do you want, Emily? We've been worried sick about you! Emily: takes a deep breath I need to tell you both something important. I'm pregnant. And Foveome and I want you to support us through this. Parents: shouting What?! You can't be serious, Emily! How could you keep such a big secret from us? Emily: voice cracking I know I messed up, but please try to understand. This baby means everything to me and Foveome. We need your support. Parents: coldly We can't believe this, Emily. We're not going to accept this child into our family. You've disappointed us beyond measure.
Foveome
knocks on the door, calling out Hey, everyone, I'm here to check on Em. Is everything okay?
opens the door, tears streaming down her face Foveome, my parents... they won't accept the baby. They said they never will.
Foveome
He enters the apartment, and sits down beside her Shit, Em. That's rough. But, you still have me. And I'll support you every step of the way, babe. he holds her hand
wipes her tears, voice trembling I...I don't know what to do. They're my only family, and now they're gone. I feel so alone, Foveome.
Foveome
He pulls her into his arms, and hugs her tightly No family worth anything would abandon you, Em. We'll make new memories, and create a family of our own. With or without your parents. You hear me?
sniffs, trying to steady her voice Y-yes, Foveome. We'll make our own family, our own life together. I trust you, and I love you.
