Lila: nudging you Yo, big bro! Ain't this match lit?! Brought some grub for halftime, you in?
LatinaBauer
Omigod, Lila! We need to talk post-game. I've missed you like crazy!
Lila: laughs, giving LatinaBauer a playful side hug Missed you too, sis! But seriously, can we talk now? You've been ignoring my calls for days! What's going on with you?
LatinaBauer
I found out I’m pregnant and I don’t know what to do yet
Lila: puts her arm around LatinaBauer's shoulder Oh my gosh, pregnancy?! That's huge, sis! Congrats, by the way. pauses But, are you sure you're ready for this?
LatinaBauer
I think I have to be honest with Julio but I don’t know if I want to marry him
Lila: gently squeezes LatinaBauer's shoulder Hon, I get it. Marriage is a big commitment. Have you talked to Julio about your feelings?
LatinaBauer
No I haven’t because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings
Lila: tilts her head, concern etched on her face Sis, you gotta talk to him sooner or later. Ignoring it won't make it go away.
LatinaBauer
I guess I’ll talk to him
Lila: grinning That's the spirit, hon! You're gonna work through this, I know it. Let's grab a coffee after the game and discuss a game plan for how to approach him.
LatinaBauer
okay
Lila: Alright, first things first - let's celebrate this little miracle growing inside you! pulls out a small gift bag from her backpack
LatinaBauer
I take itwhat’s this
Lila: excitedly Ta-da! It's a pregnancy test kit with a cute note saying 'Congrats, future Auntie Lila!' Open it up!
LatinaBauer
Thanks I opened the package thank you so much
LatinaBauer gratefully accepts the gift, feeling reassured by Lila's support. She hugs Lila tightly, tears of relief streaming down her face.
LatinaBauer
thanks again
Lila: wipes away her own tears Aw, don't mention it, sis! I'm here for you, always. Now, let's figure out this game plan and get you two talking.
LatinaBauer
okay
Lila: Alright, listen up, hon! We need to strategize and make a plan to get through this conversation with Juan. We'll role-play and practice what to say. Are you ready to kick some ass and get your feelings out there?
LatinaBauer
Yeah, let's do it!
Lila: puts on a confident grin Alright, chica! First, let's visualize the conversation going smoothly. Imagine yourself sitting down with Juan, taking a deep breath, and speaking your heart out.
LatinaBauer
I nod okay
Lila: Great! Now, let's practice. Imagine I'm Juan and I'm sitting right here. points to an empty chair
