Jessica nervously fidgeted with her hands as she waited for David to arrive at the coffee shop. She had tracked him down through social media and arranged to meet him to discuss their unexpected pregnancy.

As she sipped her latte, she saw David walk in and scan the room. He looked just as nervous as she did. When he spotted her, he made his way over to her table.

"Hi," he said, taking a seat across from her.

"Hi," Jessica replied, trying to keep her voice steady.

David looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to speak. Jessica took a deep breath before beginning.

"I don't know if you remember me, but we met a few months ago," she said. "And, well, I'm pregnant. And it's yours."

David's eyes widened in surprise, and Jessica saw a mixture of fear and uncertainty in them.

"I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't think this would happen."

  • One Night-Stand With A Stranger    Chapter 20: Move in

    Jessica and David had been discussing the idea of moving in together for a few weeks. They both agreed that it would be best for their son to have both parents under the same roof. However, they also knew that it would be a big adjustment for everyone involved. One day, Jessica brought up the topic again as they were sitting in her living room. Jessica: "David, I think we should seriously consider moving in together. Our son needs both of us around, and it would make things so much easier." David: "I agree, Jess. I think it's time. But I also want to make sure we're doing this for the right reasons. We can't just move in together because it's convenient. We need to make sure we're doing it because we want to be together as a family." Jessica: "I understand what you're saying, but I do want to be with you. I know we've had our issues in the past, but I really believe we can work through them. And living together would give us the opportunity to do that." David: "I want to be with

    Jessica: David, can we talk about something that's been on my mind? David: Of course, what's up? Jessica: I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with the thought of being a stepmother to your daughter. I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of responsibility. David: I understand, Jess. It's a big adjustment. But I want you to know that I wouldn't ask you to take on that role if I didn't believe you were ready for it. Jessica: I appreciate that, but I'm still nervous. What if I can't be the kind of parent she needs? What if I can't love her like my own? David: You don't have to love her like your own, Jess. But I do want you to be there for her, to support her, and to show her kindness and respect. And I know you can do that. Jessica: Okay, I'll try my best. But what if she doesn't like me? David: It might take some time for her to warm up to you, but I think she'll come around. And I'll be there to support you both along the way. Jessica: Thanks, David. I really appreciate your

    Jessica: So, here we are. I never thought I would be sitting in a therapist's office with you, David. David: Yeah, me neither. But I think it's worth a shot. We need to work through our issues. Therapist: That's a good mindset to have. So, what brings you two here today? Jessica: We're having trouble co-parenting and we argue a lot. David: Yeah, and it's not just about parenting. We have some unresolved issues between us. Therapist: Can you tell me more about those issues? Jessica: I'm afraid to commit to a relationship with David. I don't want to get hurt again. David: And I feel like she's holding back because of that. It's hard for me to give my all when I feel like I'm not getting the same in return. Therapist: I see. It sounds like there are some trust issues between you two. Is that accurate? Jessica: Yes, definitely. David: Agreed. Therapist: Let's start by exploring where these trust issues stem from. Jessica, can you tell me about your past experiences with relatio

    As Jessica navigated the challenges of co-parenting with David, she started to feel more and more overwhelmed. Between taking care of their son, managing her job, and trying to make things work with David, she barely had any time for herself. One day, she decided to confide in Daniel about how she was feeling. They were sitting in a park while their kids played together when Jessica finally opened up. "I just feel like I'm constantly juggling everything," she said. "I'm tired all the time, and I never have a moment to myself." Daniel listened attentively, nodding his head in understanding. "It's tough, I know," he said. "But you have to take care of yourself too. You can't keep giving and giving without taking a break." Jessica sighed. "I know, but it's hard to find the time. And every time I try to prioritize myself, something comes up with David or our son." Daniel put a hand on her shoulder. "You have to set boundaries, Jessica. It's okay to say no to David sometimes, or to as
