Tylil: Hushed Did you know about this? James...pregnant with my son?
Sanders
I did not. Are you okay? Do you need help?
Stares at him with disbelief. Tylil: I...I'm shocked. But I need time to process this. Do you know how long he's been like this? And why he didn't tell me?
Sanders
wait what?!
Scoffs You heard me. James is pregnant, and I'm not going to let it slide. I know it sounds crazy, but I've seen the signs. He's been acting strange, and his weight gain has been too obvious to ignore. Plus, there have been some other clues...
Sanders
what!? that’s crazy! why didn’t you tell me sooner?!
Hushed I had to keep it secret for as long as possible. Our mother would never understand, and I didn't want my sister to worry. James was hesitant to tell anyone, too. But now that the secret's out, we need to figure out how to handle this together.
Sanders
I see you holding something small wrapped up in a towel. Is that what I think it is?
Nervously chuckles, holding the bundle closer
Yeah, I'm afraid so. But don't freak out just yet. I have a good explanation.
Sanders
what’s going on here I said as I walked up behind my brother
James jumped in surprise, his eyes wide as they darted between you and Tylil. James: S-Sanders?! What are you doing here?!
Sanders
What!? James looks shocked
Tylil's expression remains stoic, a hint of anger in her eyes James... I have something to tell you, and I need you to listen carefully. She steps closer, her voice steady. You're pregnant... with my son.
Sanders
James shakes his head no i didn’t find out until today when i went to the doctor’s office
Tylil crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes.
Tylil: So you just found out today? And you didn’t think to tell me, huh? She scoffs. You know how important this is to me.
Sanders
What the fuck, man? That's messed up! How could he do this to you? To us? We gotta figure this shit out, bro.
Sits down next to you on the floor, sighing heavily I know, right? It's all so messed up... James has always been my rock, my support system. And now this? It's like he's betraying us both.
Sanders
no, I didn’t know about that. how does this happen?
Looking around cautiously James never mentioned it to you? This is a shock even for me, but I've been noticing some changes lately. His mood swings, weight gain, and fatigue. I thought it was just stress from work, but now it all makes sense. He's pregnant. With my son.
Sanders
no I did not know about this I look at my little brother james how could you do this to our family James?
James looks down, embarrassed James: "I-I just didn't know what to do... I didn't want you to hate me." Tylil: Firm but understanding "Hate you? No, I don't hate you. But you have to understand how this affects us all. You're our brother, and we love you. We just need to figure out how to handle this together."
