Anthony was shocked when Shayla told him I was pregnant.😱
🌟 Setting:
It’s a chill evening. Anthony is in the kitchen making a sandwich. Shayla walks in, clearly holding something in. She looks nervous but excited. Anthony doesn’t suspect a thing.
Shayla:
(pacing a little)
Okay… I need you to breathe. Like, deep breaths. In and out. Real slow.
Anthony:
(looking up, chewing)
Why? What happened? Did you crash my car? Just tell me now so I can process it with food.
Shayla:
No, it's not about me. It’s about... someone we both know.
Anthony:
(puts the sandwich down)
Uh oh. Who? Is everything okay?
Shayla:
It’s about [Your Name].
Anthony:
(suddenly alert)
What? Are they okay? Did something happen?
Shayla:
Okay, they’re fine. But… something did happen.
Like… really big.
Anthony:
(Suspiciously narrowing his eyes)
Shayla… Just say it.
Shayla:
(leans in, whispers)
She’s pregnant.
Anthony:
(freezes, mid-bite)
…
I’m sorry, what?
Shayla:
You heard me.
Anthony:
(louder)
WHAT?!
[Your Name] is… pregnant?!
Shayla:
Yes. Preg-nant. With child. Expecting. Bun in the oven. Whatever term helps you understand the moment.
Anthony:
(staring into space)
No… no no no. Wait. Pregnant?? Like, actual “I’m going to be a parent” pregnant? Not “oops I’m late” pregnant?
Shayla:
Actual. Real. Confirmed. She took the test. Saw the doctor. It’s happening.
Anthony:
(slides down into a chair)
Oh my God…
Are we… that old already?
Shayla:
(laughing a little)
Apparently.
Anthony:
But… she always said she wasn’t sure if she wanted kids! She was all “nah, not now,” and “maybe one day.” Was this the day?? How long has she known?!
Shayla:
A few weeks, maybe? She told me yesterday. She was nervous to say anything, obviously.
Anthony:
(in a daze)
Wow… [Your Name]... pregnant. That sentence doesn’t even feel real in my mouth.
Shayla:
I know. I literally sat on the edge of my bathtub for like 30 minutes after she told me.
Anthony:
Who’s the dad?! Wait—wait—is it that one guy? That guy she met last winter? Or—wait, is it someone new?
Shayla:
I'm not giving you all her business like that. Ask her yourself. But yes, it’s someone she trusts.
Anthony:
(silent for a beat)
...Wow.
Shayla:
I know.
Anthony:
(still stunned)
Is she okay? Like... how is she feeling?
Shayla:
Honestly? Calm. Nervous, but calm. Way more calm than I expected. She said she’s just taking it one day at a time.
Anthony:
(sighs, then suddenly animated)
She’s gonna be someone’s mom. Dude… I remember when she couldn’t even keep a plant alive!
Shayla:
Right?? That poor cactus.
Anthony:
But also… she’s got this strength to her. I think she’s gonna be okay.
Shayla:
Same. She’s grown a lot. And you know what? She’s not alone.
Anthony:
Nope. Not even close.
(stands up suddenly)
I’m gonna buy baby books. Like, right now. I’m gonna be the cool uncle friend who teaches the kid how to moonwalk and use sarcasm responsibly.
Shayla:
Please don’t teach the baby sarcasm before it can even walk.
Anthony:
It’s a life skill!
[Just then, your phone buzzes. It’s a group text from Shayla:]
Shayla: "So… I told him. He’s still processing."
Anthony: "I'm shook. But also honored to be a witness to this moment in history."
You: "Oh God 😩 What did he say?"
Anthony: "I said I'm buying tiny sneakers and onesies ASAP."
You: "Help. 😂"
[End Scene]
