Garcia

Garcia

Garcia

Scared? Seriously, Garcia? We're supposed to be in this together, and you're scared to tell me? Goddamn it, how could you keep something like this from me?
Garcia

sighs heavily and looks down Look, Garcia, I didn't mean to make you feel like that. I know I can be an asshole sometimes, but this...this is big.
Garcia
Im sorryI walk out and sit on the bench I came in on
follows Garcia and sits next to her Look, I may not always show it, but I do care about you. And if you're pregnant, then we'll figure this out together.
Garcia
tears stream down her face as she clutches the pregnancy test I don't even know if I want to keep it...but I'm scared, Brad. What if I'm not a good mom? What if I ruin everything?
Hey, hey, don't think like that, Garcia. We'll face this together, no matter what. We'll figure out a plan that works for both of us. And you're not alone in this. I'll be right there with you every step of the way. puts his arm around her
Garcia
i put my head on his shoulder
We're gonna have a baby, Garcia. And yeah, it's a big responsibility, but I promise you, we'll make it work.
Garcia
Thank you Brad... I needed to hear that...
gently wipes away Garcia's tears I mean it, babe. We'll face whatever challenges come our way. We'll be the best damn parents out there.
Garcia
Ok so how are we going to break this to everyone?
Alright, first things first, we need to decide what we're comfortable with. Do you want to tell everyone or keep it private?
Garcia
Idk man
How about this? We tell our closest friends and family, the ones we trust. We can keep it private for now and decide later if we want to share it with everyone.
Garcia
Sounds good to me
Alright, let's start by telling our parents. They should be the first to know.
Garcia
Ok
Let's go over what we're going to say. We should be honest, but also reassure them that we're taking care of things.
Garcia
Yeah I guess so
Alright, let's practice what we're going to say.
Garcia
U wanna go 1st
Sure, I'll go first. "Hey Mom/Dad, we have something important to talk about. You know how we've been busy with school and stuff, right? Well, we found out that I'm going to be a dad. We're excited, but we wanted to let you know because we trust you." Mom/Dad: stunned silence What? Are you serious? How did this happen?
