Farrington-Gores: Revenge of the babypocalypse

'What can I do for you, Roza?'

'Hello Nyla. Sorry to bother you, but can I talk to you? I've just had some news and I could use some support right now.'

'Of course! What's up?'

'I'll get right to the point. I am pregnant.'

'Oh, wow!'

'...Yes. My period is not usually this late, so I did a test. It's positive.'

'How do you feel?'

'Like I have been hit by a truck.'

'Mm, it was the same for me. I'm not surprised; it's a massive shock. Is it Nari's...?'

'Yes. He's the only one, recently.'

'Right. Have you thought about what you'll do? Or is it too soon?'

'For me, having children was always one of those things that I didn't mind if it happened or not. Perhaps not the most responsible attitude, but considering I have not been in a serious relationship for some time, I was not trying for a baby. I presumed by this point it would probably not happen.'

'Hey, it was the same for me. A baby doesn't have to be planned to have a happy life.'

'You're right. Anyway... this is probably my last chance. I might not have chosen this specifically, but now that it exists, I want this baby.'

'Okay. You know I'll help you as much as possible, right? With all of it. I've still got some baby stuff in storage you can have.'

'Aww, thank you Nyla. I appreciate that.'

'No problem! I bet Mum'll help as well if you tell her.'

'Yes, I do plan on doing that soon. If anybody has experience with babies, it's Liberty.'

'Exactly. So when are you gonna tell Nari?'

'Good question. I suppose I cannot put it off. He is going to become a father again so he needs to prepare for it.'

'Wait, you're calling him now?!'

'Eh, why not.'

'Rozalina?'

'Hello, Nari. I have something to tell you.'

'What's that?'

'...I'm pregnant.'

'…......'

'Well?'

'...Really?'

'Yes.'

'And it's mine?'

'I would not be calling you if it were someone else's.'

'And you're keeping it...?'

'Yes, Nari. You are going to be a father again.'

'Holy shit. Wow. This, um... this is a bit of a shock.'

'It is for me too. I know, neither of us were expecting this.'

'I mean, this is awkward... I have a girlfriend now.'

'Do you want to be involved in the baby's life?'

'Yes? Of course, that's my baby. I'll be the best dad I can, as much as I can do from here. I'll try to visit often... Oh God.'

'Good, thank you.'

'C-Can we talk about the details later? I just need some time to, you know, process this...'

'Okay. Call me when you are ready.'

'Thank you Rozalina. I will.'

'How was that?'

'I think he probably shat himself, but I'm pleased with how it went.'

*ring ring*

'Oh God...'

'...Juli?'

'Hey. Not too busy right now are you?'

'No, no. How are you?'

'...Uhhh, that's kind of why I'm calling. I've just had a little bit of a surprise.'

'What's that...?'

'...I'm pregnant.'

'I... what?'

'I've literally just taken five tests. All positive...'

'Five?! So... so you're really sure, then.'

'Yeah, I wanted to be as positive as all of these tests are. So... Yeah.'

'Mamma mia... Wow.'

'So...'

'Maybe we should talk more about this face to face? Once the shock's worn off...'

'Yes, good idea... I'll come over soon, then.'

'Okay. Talk soon.'

'Bye.'
