"What the fuck is this Connie?!" Brad shouted as he walked into her office holding an envelope between his fingers.
Connie looked up from rubbing her bump and horror crossed her face as she saw the logo from the paternity clinic on the envelope.
"So?! Who did you cheat on me with?!" He asked angrily.
"Brad, it's not like that" she stuttered.
"Really?! Cause I've already opened the letter, I'm not the father! But there was no other DNA listed, do you even know who you slept with or was it a drunken one night stand?" Brad said.
"Of course I know who he is!" Connie said defensively.
"So it was completely of your own accord? Was I that bad of a boyfriend that you decided to cheat on me and get pregnant with another man's baby?" He shouted at her.
"I didn't decide to get pregnant with anyone's baby, it wasn't planned!" Connie shouted just as the door opened.
"Sorry to interrupt, Connie I need you to sign this" Jacob said as he handed a patient's discharge notes to her.
She nodded and signed them as he stood awkwardly next to Brad.
"Wouldn't trust her with anything Jacob, nothing but a cheating whore" Brad said.
"Excuse me?!" Connie snapped as she rose from her seat.
"I should probably leave you two to it" Jacob said as he took the folder from Connie.
"Yeah, but Jacob, do me a favour. If you know who she's sleeping with, tell her the kid she's about to pop out is his" Brad told him.
Jacob looked at Connie, "what the fuck?!" he said.
"Yeah that was my reaction too" Brad said.
Jacob ignored him and looked at Connie, "you didn't think to tell me?" he asked.
"I... I'm sorry" she said.
"Jacob if she wasn't going to tell me I doubt she'd tell you, does the father even know?" Brad asked.
"Well he does now!" Jacob said.
"Wait, it's you?!" He shouted.
"Well I'm assuming so, unless there's another one?" Jacob asked Connie.
"There's no one else" Connie said, "I'm really sorry I didn't tell you both. But I didn't think there was anything to tell. I got the results three months ago, telling me Brad was the father. Then I got a call from the clinic telling there had been a mix up with some samples, the one I sent in for Brad was one of them, so they asked me to send a new one to rerun the test. That letter, it's the new results" she added.
"You still should of told me Connie!" Jacob said.
"No I shouldn't have, I know how much you want to have kids one day. I couldn't be the one to tell you that you might become a dad, then take it back" Connie replied.
"Are you still together?" Brad asked.
"No, I ended it a month ago. I knew it wasn't going anywhere" Jacob told him.
"Maybe it will now, not like she's got anything stoping her" Brad snapped before walking out, slamming the door behind him.
Connie looked down and rubbed her bump as Jacob stood in front of her desk.
He eventually let out a sympathetic sigh, "come here" he said as he opened his arms.
She rounded the desk and allowed him to embrace her in a hug, "I'm so sorry" she said.
"Me too, I shouldn't of shouted at you, and I probably should of asked, I'll admit I had my suspicions but I assumed you'd say something. If the timing was right, or you'd get a test and tell me" Jacob told her.
"I can't do this on my own, I can't" Connie said.
"And you won't be. Connie I only ever ended it because you were having a baby with another man, I couldn't do that to him or the baby. I'm still madly in love with you" he replied as he stroked her hair.
"Really?" she asked hopefully whilst looking up at him.
"Yes, really" Jacob said softly before slowly leaning in and pressing his lips to hers.
Connie smiled as he pulled away, "for the record, I'm still madly in love with you too" she said as they both caressed her bump.
