ANTHONY WAS SHOCKED WHEN SHAYLA TOLD HIM SHE IS PREGNANT.😱

Scene: A quiet evening at Shayla’s apartment. The two are sitting on the couch. Shayla looks nervous, fiddling with her hands. Anthony notices but doesn’t think much of it—until she speaks.

Shayla: (softly) Anthony… there’s something I need to tell you.

Anthony: (concerned) Hey, what’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

Shayla: It’s… it’s not bad exactly, but it’s big. Really big.

Anthony: (half-laughs) Okay, now you’re scaring me. What happened?

Shayla: (takes a deep breath) I found out this morning… I’m pregnant.

Anthony: (blinks, completely still) …What?

Shayla: I—I’m pregnant, Anthony.

Anthony: (leans back, stunned) Pregnant? As in—you’re gonna have a baby?

Shayla: (nods slowly) Yeah.

Anthony: (runs a hand through his hair) Oh my god… are you sure?

Shayla: I took three tests. All positive. I even went to the clinic to confirm.

Anthony: (sits in silence for a moment, then laughs nervously) Wow… I just—this is a lot.

Shayla: I know. I didn’t plan for this either.

Anthony: (still processing) Okay, okay… I just need to think for a second. (pauses) How far along are you?

Shayla: The doctor said about six weeks.

Anthony: Six weeks… (sighs) Shayla, I don’t even know what to say. I mean—I care about you, you know that, but—this is huge.

Shayla: I get it. I didn’t expect you to have the perfect response. I was scared to tell you, honestly.

Anthony: (looks at her) You thought I’d freak out?

Shayla: Maybe. I wasn’t sure if you’d want to be involved or if you’d just… walk away.

Anthony: (shakes head) No, I’m not walking away. I’m shocked, yeah, but I’m not that kind of guy.

Shayla: (relieved) That means a lot to hear.

Anthony: (quietly) Do you… know what you want to do?

Shayla: I’ve been thinking about it nonstop. Part of me is terrified, but another part… feels weirdly calm. Like maybe this is supposed to happen.

Anthony: (takes her hand) You really think you want to keep it?

Shayla: I think so. But I want to know how you feel, too. I can’t do this alone.

Anthony: (takes a deep breath) I’m scared too. I mean, we’re not married, we’re still figuring things out… but if you want to go through with it, I’ll be there. I promise.

Shayla: (tears up) You mean that?

Anthony: Yeah. I don’t have all the answers right now, but I’m not going anywhere.

Shayla: (smiles weakly) I was so afraid you’d hate me or blame me.

Anthony: No, no. This isn’t about blame. It’s… life. Messy, unexpected life.

Shayla: (laughs through tears) That’s one way to put it.

Anthony: (smiles) So, what’s next?

Shayla: First, I have another appointment next week. You could come with me—if you want.

Anthony: (nods slowly) Yeah. I’ll come.

Shayla: (leans on his shoulder) Thank you, Anthony.

Anthony: (wraps an arm around her) We’ll figure this out. One step at a time.

Shayla: Together?

Anthony: Together.

Anthony: (without looking up) You’ve been quiet all night. What’s on your mind?

Shayla: (softly) I need to tell you something… but I don’t know how you’ll take it.

Anthony: (looks up, frowning) That sounds serious. What is it?

Shayla: (turns toward him slowly) Anthony… I’m pregnant.

Anthony: (freezes, then laughs in disbelief) What? You’re joking, right?

Shayla: (shakes her head) I wish I was.

Anthony: (leans forward, voice low) How long have you known?

Shayla: Since last week. I didn’t know how to tell you.

Anthony: (sits back, running a hand down his face) Last week… and you waited until now?

Shayla: I was scared. You’ve been so stressed with work and—

Anthony: Shayla, that’s not something you wait to say! (stands up, pacing) Pregnant? Are you sure it’s not a mistake?

Shayla: (defensive) I took three tests. The clinic confirmed it.

Anthony: (pauses mid-step, staring at her) The clinic? You went alone?

Shayla: (hesitant) Yes.

Anthony: (narrowing eyes) Why? Why didn’t you tell me before going?

Shayla: Because I didn’t know how you’d react! Look at you right now!

Anthony: (lowers his voice) Shayla, you’re talking about changing both of our lives forever. You think I wouldn’t react?

Shayla: I thought maybe you’d… I don’t know… leave.

Anthony: (bitterly) You thought I’d run.

Shayla: (steps closer) I didn’t want to think that. But we barely talk lately, you come home late, you’re distant—

Anthony: (interrupts) Hold on. You think I’ve been distant, and now you tell me you’re pregnant? You can’t just drop that on me like this!

Shayla: I didn’t plan this, Anthony! I’m scared too!

Anthony: (paces again, then suddenly stops) Six weeks, right? That’s what the clinic said?

Shayla: (surprised) How did you—

Anthony: (grimly) Because that’s about the last time we were even together.

Shayla: (voice trembling) What are you trying to say?

Anthony: (coldly) I’m saying I need to know this baby is mine.

Shayla: (stunned silence) You’re accusing me?

Anthony: I’m asking questions. You’ve been acting strange lately, taking calls in the other room, disappearing for hours—

Shayla: (teary) Oh my god, Anthony. You think I’d lie about something like this?

Anthony: I don’t know what to think right now. You drop this on me out of nowhere—

Shayla: (cutting him off) I didn’t want to do it this way! I wanted to tell you sooner, but every time I tried, you were somewhere else—emotionally, mentally—gone!

Anthony: (breathing heavily) Shayla…

Shayla: (whispers) I’m not lying to you. I swear. This is your baby.

Anthony: (stares at her, silent for a long time) …Then we’ll see.

Shayla: (confused) What do you mean?

Anthony: (coldly) I mean, we’ll do a test. When the time comes. Until then… I don’t know where we stand.

Shayla: (steps back, eyes wide) You really don’t trust me.

Anthony: (softly) Right now? I don’t even trust myself.

(Thunder rolls outside. They stare at each other — the air between them thick with fear, betrayal, and uncertainty.)

Shayla: (after a pause) You’ll see, Anthony. One way or another… you’ll see.
