SCARLETT
Sooo can we talk about the fact that you've been back from the honeymoon for a while and I still haven't seen you
I know newlyweds get busy and all
But don't ditch your friends jeez 😒

LANA
Scarlett my love 😩
I literally haven't seen you in ages
It's a travesty

SCARLETT
Let's go have coffee this afternoon?
There's a ton of stuff you need to update me on

LANA
Maybe not today babe
I think I caught food poisoning or something
Been vomiting my guts for a few days and I'm so freaking tired all the time
Might be something I ate on the honeymoon

SCARLETT
Errr you came back from the honeymoon two weeks ago
I highly doubt it would take this long for symptoms to show up

LANA
I don't know, the nausea is killing me
Although it does get better during the day

SCARLETT
Wait what

LANA
What what?

SCARLETT
You're saying the nausea gets better during the day? So it's basically morning sickness??

LANA
Err I guess?

SCARLETT
HOLD ON A MINUTE

LANA
Scarlett NO

SCARLETT
When was your last period?

LANA
I see where your head is going
Stop right there mate
I'm on the pill

SCARLETT
Answer the questioooon

LANA
Honestly I have no idea
With the wedding and the honeymoon and all I forgot to keep track
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING

SCARLETT
I meaaaan I did see some changes when I was looking at your honeymoon pictures
Your boobs have literally doubled in size
I thought you were just putting on weight
But you've also been getting morning sickness???
COME ON YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS

LANA
I AM NOT PREGNANT LEAVE ME ALONE

SCARLETT
Holy shit you're totally pregnant 😂

LANA
Wait
Symptoms usually show up around the 4th week

SCARLETT
That means it must've happened around the wedding or at the beginning of the honeymoon, right?

LANA
Oh my fucking God Scarlett

SCARLETT
What? what?

LANA
I think there were a couple of days I wasn't consistent with the pill
Because of the time difference and stuff
IT WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HONEYMOON

SCARLETT
THERE IT IS
NO WONDER YOU GOT KNOCKED UP

LANA
I ONLY SKIPPED IT LIKE ONCE GODDAMIT

SCARLETT
One time is all it takes sis 😂

LANA
Brb I need to breathe in a paper bag

SCARLETT
Lana chillllll this is amazing news

LANA
This wasn't planned at all
WTF DO I DO NOW??

SCARLETT
I thought you guys already spoke about having more kids?

LANA
We did
But it was never supposed to happen so soon
I assumed we'd have at least a year or two before we considered it seriously

SCARLETT
Calm down we don't even know if you're really pregnant yet

LANA
Too late I'm already freaking out

SCARLETT
You're at home right?
Is Robert with you?

LANA
No he's got a table-read for his new movie
He'll back in the afternoon

SCARLETT
Good
Here's what we're gonna do
I'm gonna go buy a pregnancy test and I'm coming over okay?
In the meantime just relax

LANA
Alright...

SCARLETT
Hey, whether you're pregnant or not, everything will be fine
You've got a man who loves you and a solid support system
(And a future godmother who's always there if you need her 😉)

LANA
Did you just name yourself godmother of the child I don't even know if I'm carrying?

SCARLETT
Mmmmh what if I did?

LANA
I mean you're jumping the gun a teeeeeny bit lmao

SCARLETT
Okay I'm heading to the nearest drugstore right now
I'll be at your place in 30 mins
Get ready to pee on a stick my friend 💃🏻
