The Confession

Stella: Congratulations you're going to be a father.

Mac: What makes you say that?

Stella: I'm pregnant.

Mac: Are you sure?

Stella: Yes. You're the only one I've been with.

Mac: I'm shocked.

Stella: I didn't expect it to happen the first time, but it did. I'm just as shocked as you are.

Mac: That was your first time?

Stella: Yes, and I didn't get to thank you.

Mac: For what?

Stella: For making it as special as I dreamt it to be.

Mac: You're welcome. So how far along are you?

Stella: 13 weeks.

Mac: You know I've always wanted children, but it never happened. Claire was pregnant once but she had a miscarriage in the 8th month.

Stella: I'm sorry to hear that. Mac, listen, I want you to be with me every step of the way.

Mac: I don't know, I've always thought that I would be married when this came about.

Stella: Well, let's get married.

Mac: Are you sure?

Stella: Yes.

Mac: Are you really in love with me?

Stella: I really think I am.

Mac: Don't you think everyone will be suspicious?

Stella: I don't care.

Mac: That's what I've always liked about you. You don't care what anyone think.

Stella: Come here.

Mac: What?

(Mac gets up and heads towards Stella.)

Stella: Give me your hand.

(She takes his hand and places it on her stomach.)

Stella: Feel that? It's ours.

Mac: What are you doing later?

Stella: I was thinking about going over to my sister's. It's my niece's birthday. Wanna come?

Mac: I'm not sure. Isn't it sort of a family thing?

Stella: Don't worry about it. I'll tell that I'm bringing someone. Besides, you're practically family now anyways.

(Stella gets up and then falls.)

Mac: Stella, are you okay?

(Mac rushes over to Stella and then helps her up.)

Stella: I'm fine.

Mac: I think you need to go home.

Stella: I will be fine.

Mac: Are you sure?

Stella: I'm positive.

(Stella starts laughing.)

Mac: What is it?

Stella: Come here.

(Stella takes his hand and then places it on his stomach.)

Stella: She's moving! I can't believe she's moving!

Mac: She? How do you know it's a girl?

Stella: I just have this feeling.
