🙏 Shayla Apologizes to Anthony and Begs to Stay at His Home With Baby Kai 😱

🌧️ Scene: Anthony’s Apartment — Evening

The hallway is quiet. Shayla stands at Anthony’s door, holding baby Kai, who’s sleeping in a carrier on her chest. Her eyes are red from crying. She knocks.

---

Anthony:

(opening the door, surprised)
Shayla? … What’re you doing here? It’s late.

Shayla:

I—I know. I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t just show up. But I didn’t know who else to go to.

Anthony:

(eyes shifting to the sleeping baby)
Kai okay?

Shayla:

Yeah. He’s fine. Just tired.
(voice cracks)
It’s me who’s not okay.

Anthony:

…Come inside.

Shayla steps in slowly. Anthony closes the door.

---

Anthony:

Alright. What happened?

Shayla:

Everything. Just—everything.
(wiping her face)
I messed up, Anthony. I messed up bad. And I know you don’t owe me anything, but please… just hear me out.

Anthony:

I’m listening.

Shayla:

I’m sorry. For how I talked to you. For pushing you away. For all the times you offered help and I acted like I didn’t need it. I was stressed and scared and stubborn… and I took it out on you.

Anthony:

Shayla, we’ve been over this before. I told you I’d help if you let me.

Shayla:

I know! And that’s why I’m here now.
(takes a shaky breath)
My place isn’t safe right now. The landlord changed the locks—said I was behind even though I paid half, but he’s claiming he “never got it.” And the people next door were fighting again. I just… I couldn’t stay there tonight. Not with Kai.

(breaks down)
I didn’t know where else to go.

Anthony:

You should’ve called me. You know I would’ve come.

Shayla:

I was scared you’d say no. Or think I was just using you again.

Anthony:

Shayla… do you really think I’d ever turn Kai away?

Shayla:

I don’t know anymore. Everything’s been so heavy. I didn’t want to put more on you.

Anthony:

Look, things between us—yeah, they’ve been complicated. But that little boy didn’t ask for any of that. And if you need a place to stay tonight, you can stay.

Shayla:

(relieved but still crying)
Thank you. Anthony, seriously—thank you. I don’t want to impose. I promise, I’ll only stay until I figure things out. Just a night or two.

Anthony:

Calm down. I’m not kicking you out tomorrow morning. You and Kai can stay until you’re stable. We’ll figure the rest out later.

Shayla:

But I don’t want you to feel like I’m running back because things got hard. I want you to know I’m truly sorry. I should’ve treated you better. You’ve always showed up for us.

Anthony:

Shayla…
(softening)
I never stopped caring. That’s the thing. Even when you yelled, even when you pushed me away, I still worried.

What matters now is you’re here. You asked for help. That’s enough for me.

Shayla:

(looks down at baby Kai, whispering)
I just want him safe. That’s all I care about.

Anthony:

And he is safe. Both of you are.
(gently touches Kai’s tiny hand)
Hey, little man… you staying with me tonight?

Kai stirs softly but stays asleep.

Shayla:

Anthony?

Anthony:

Yeah?

Shayla:

Are you… mad at me?

Anthony:

No. I was hurt. But I’m not mad. And you being here—being honest—means more than you think.

Shayla:

I’ll do better. I promise. I don’t want us to keep hurting each other.

Anthony:

Then let’s start over. At least for tonight. You both can take the bedroom. I’ll take the couch.

Shayla:

No, no—I can take the couch—

Anthony:

Shayla. You have a baby. Take the bed.

Shayla:

(eyes filling again)
You’re too kind to me.

Anthony:

Just get some rest. You can tell me everything else in the morning. We’ll figure out the landlord. We’ll figure out what you want to do next.

You’re not alone, alright?

Shayla:

(steps closer, voice trembling)
Thank you, Anthony.
For not giving up on us.

Anthony:

Never did.

🌙 Ending Scene

Shayla stands quietly in the hallway leading to Anthony’s bedroom, rocking Kai gently. Anthony watches her from the living room, leaning against the arm of the couch.

Shayla:

(softly)
Anthony…
I don’t know what tomorrow’s gonna look like. But tonight… I feel safe. And that means everything to me.

Anthony:

Good. That’s all I wanted.

Shayla hesitates, adjusting Kai’s blanket, then looks up at Anthony with tired, honest eyes.

Shayla:

I just…
Thank you. For opening the door. For opening your heart again, even when I didn’t deserve it.

Anthony:

Everyone deserves a second chance.
Especially you.

Shayla swallows hard, emotions rising again.

Shayla:

I won’t mess this up.
I don’t know how to fix everything yet, but…
I’m trying.
For Kai.
And maybe… for us too.

Anthony walks over, careful not to wake Kai, and gently squeezes Shayla’s shoulder.

Anthony:

You don’t have to have everything figured out tonight.
One step at a time.
You’re here. Kai’s here.
That’s a good start.

Shayla nods, holding back tears. For the first time in a long time, she feels a little hope.

Shayla:

Goodnight, Anthony.

Anthony:

Goodnight, Shayla.
Goodnight, little man.

Kai lets out a tiny sigh in his sleep.
Shayla gives Anthony one last grateful look, then slowly walks into the bedroom and closes the door gently behind her.

Anthony stands in the quiet living room, exhaling deeply.
He turns off the lights, lies on the couch, and whispers to himself:

Anthony:

Maybe… this is a new beginning.

The apartment falls silent.
For the first time in weeks, all three of them sleep under the same roof.
