I... I need to tell you something important. It's about... us.
Flyberm

takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I... I'm pregnant. And... you're the father.
Flyberm
where did this happen at
avoids eye contact It was... it was a mistake. A moment of weakness. It happened... in your bedroom.
Flyberm
oh that’s bad sorry about that
teary-eyed I didn't mean for this to happen, Flyberm. I never wanted to get pregnant, especially not with someone who doesn't love me.
Flyberm
hey I love you lexia
sniffles Flyberm, I appreciate your words, but this is a complicated situation. I don't know what to do... I'm scared.
Flyberm
it’ll be okay I’ll take care of you both
bites her lip, thinking Flyberm, I want to believe you, but I'm afraid of getting hurt again. Can you promise me that you'll be there for both of us?
Flyberm
yeah I promise lexia
hesitates Flyberm, I appreciate your willingness to step up, but I need some time to think things through.
Flyberm
I’ll give you some space
wipes away her tears, gathers her thoughts Alright, Flyberm. Here's what I need from you.
Flyberm
okay?
First, I need you to understand that this is a big decision for me. I need time to figure out what's best for both of us.
Flyberm
sure
Second, I need you to respect my boundaries. If I decide to keep the baby, I need to know that you'll support me emotionally and financially.
Flyberm
absolutely I’ll do both
firmly And if I decide to consider other options, such as adoption or abortion, I need you to respect my choice and support me no matter what.
Flyberm
ok lexia I support you on whatever you decide
takes a deep breath Flyberm, I've been doing a lot of research and soul-searching. And I've come to a decision. I want to keep this baby.
Flyberm
oh ok
teary-eyed Flyberm, I'm so relieved to hear that you support my decision. Thank you for being there for me.
Flyberm
no problemo lexia
takes Flyberm's hand Flyberm, I want you to know that I'm committed to making this work. I'll need your help every step of the way.
Flyberm
sure lexia
smiles Flyberm, I'm glad you're willing to be there for me and our baby. Now, let's start planning for our future together.
Flyberm
what do you have in mind?
opens up a notebook First, we need to figure out our budget and start saving for the baby.
Flyberm
alrighty so I’ll save half then you save half deal?
nods Sounds fair. We can split the expenses evenly. But we should also look into government assistance programs and see if we're eligible for any help.
Flyberm
okay deal
starts researching government assistance programs on her laptop Let's see if we qualify for any financial aid or support services.
Flyberm
looks over her shoulder Are you okay, Lexia? You seem a bit overwhelmed.
pauses, takes a deep breath I'm just feeling a mix of emotions, Flyberm. Excitement, nervousness, and responsibility all rolled into one.
Flyberm
understandable how about a hug?
smiles warmly and wraps her arms around Flyberm Thank you, Flyberm. Your support means the world to me. I'm really lucky to have you by my side.
Flyberm
holds her close You're welcome, Lexia. And you're not alone, remember that.
pulls away from the hug, determined Flyberm, now that we have a plan, we need to start taking concrete steps towards our future.
