Angelina was Shocked When Brodie said Pamela was pregnant.😱
Angelina was Shocked When Brodie said Pamela was pregnant.😱
[Scene: Living room. Night. Rain hitting the windows. The room is quiet… too quiet.]
Angelina is sitting on the couch, scrolling on her phone. Brodie stands near the door, nervous, pacing back and forth.
Angelina:
(without looking up)
Why are you walking like that? Did something happen at work?
Brodie:
Angelina… we need to talk.
Angelina:
(looks up, annoyed)
That tone. I hate that tone. Just say it.
Brodie:
I met Pamela today.
Angelina:
(confused)
Pamela? Why would you meet her? You told me she was out of your life.
Brodie:
She came to my office. I didn’t invite her. She just showed up.
Angelina:
And?
Brodie:
She said something that… I wasn’t ready to hear.
Angelina:
(heart racing)
Brodie, you’re scaring me. What did she say?
Brodie:
She said… she’s pregnant.
Angelina:
(laughs nervously)
Stop. That’s not funny.
Brodie:
I’m not joking.
Angelina:
Say it again.
Brodie:
Pamela is pregnant.
Angelina:
(stands up slowly, eyes wide)
No… no no no… that’s impossible.
Brodie:
She showed me the reports.
Angelina:
(voice shaking)
You’re lying.
Brodie:
I wish I was.
Angelina:
(tears filling her eyes)
When, Brodie? WHEN?
Brodie:
Before we got back together… but not long before.
Angelina:
(screams)
So I was rebuilding my life with you while she was building a baby with you?!
Brodie:
Angelina, listen to me—
Angelina:
NO! You listen to ME!
You promised me the past was over. You promised me there was nothing left!
Brodie:
I didn’t know, I swear. She just found out herself.
Angelina:
(laughing through tears)
Of course… of course this would happen to me.
Brodie:
I never wanted this. I chose you.
Angelina:
But the baby didn’t choose me, Brodie.
That baby will always connect you to her.
Brodie:
It doesn’t change how I feel about you.
Angelina:
Yes, it does.
Everything changes now.
Brodie:
What are you saying?
Angelina:
I’m saying I can’t compete with a child.
I can’t live in a life where another woman’s shadow is always between us.
Brodie:
Angelina, please… don’t do this.
Angelina:
(steps back)
I loved you.
I trusted you.
And now every memory feels fake.
Brodie:
Tell me what to do.
Angelina:
Be a father.
But don’t expect me to stay and watch it.
Brodie:
You’re leaving?
Angelina:
(voice breaking)
I have to.
Because if I stay… I’ll hate you, and I’ll hate myself even more.
[She grabs her bag.]
Brodie:
Angelina… please.
Angelina:
Goodbye, Brodie.
[Door closes. Silence. Rain gets louder.]
