"She's..."
"She's pregnant, Nico."
"Is it h— I mean, is the father..."
"It's the teacher."
"Are you sure? Maybe she just made a conscious decision to become morbidly obese? Maybe she—"
"I'm sure, Nico. She's sure."
"You talked to her?"
"She called me on a private number. She was over the moon, I honestly don't think I've ever heard her happier."
"Oh. But surely that doesn't mean she's going to... to have it, right? The baby?"
"She's keeping it, Nico. They're keeping the baby; the teacher and her."
"Oh God. Oh God, Nessa. What the fuck. What the fuck?"
"I know."
"I don't know what to feel."
"Well, what do you feel right now?"
"Pain. Anger, hurt, betrayal... longing."
"Longing?"
"I— I don't know... some part of me wishes it was me with her. That I was... the father of her baby."
"Oh..."
"I know it's fucked up, Nessa. I know! But I just... listen, I know you're angry at me, but stay with me, Nessa? Please? I'm an emotional fucking wreck."
"Me too."
"Sorry?"
"Nothing, Nico. I'm here for you. I'll stay as long as you need."
"Thank you, Nessa. Seriously."
"Yeah. No problem."
