Mariah’s Pregnancy Bombshell
Ten scenes. One unexpected turn.
Isaiah’s House — Evening
The house is unusually quiet. Isaiah sits on the couch, staring at his phone. JB stands nearby, watching him carefully.
You need to make a decision, Isaiah.
Isaiah looks up.
What are you talking about?
JB takes a deep breath.
Mariah.
What about her?
You need to end this relationship before things get even more complicated.
I don’t know if I can just do that.
Then you’re going to keep making things harder for everyone.
Isaiah remains silent. The words stay in his mind.
Mariah’s House — Later
Mariah sits alone in her room, checking her phone, waiting for Isaiah to call. Nothing. She finally receives a short message from him.
Why does he suddenly want to end everything?
She puts her phone down. Something feels different. Mariah remembers how distant Isaiah has been lately, and she becomes increasingly worried.
Something isn’t right.
She decides she needs answers.
Doctor’s Office — Next Morning
Mariah sits nervously in the waiting room, her hands clasped together. A nurse calls her name and she follows inside. A short while later, the doctor returns with results.
Mariah, the test result is positive.
Mariah freezes, struggling to process what she has just heard.
Positive?
Yes. You’ll need a proper appointment so we can discuss the next steps and confirm everything medically.
Mariah slowly nods, her eyes filling with tears.
I need to tell Isaiah.
She looks down at the report in her hands. For a moment, she doesn’t know what to do. Then she stands. Her mind is made up — she is going to Isaiah’s house.
Outside Isaiah’s House — Afternoon
Mariah arrives, holding the medical report tightly. She takes a deep breath before knocking. The door opens. Isaiah is surprised to see her.
Mariah?
We need to talk.
Isaiah notices the serious expression on her face.
What’s wrong?
Mariah walks inside without saying anything immediately. Isaiah closes the door.
You’re scaring me. What happened?
You said you wanted to end our relationship.
I didn’t know how else to handle everything.
Well, now there’s something else you need to know.
She hands him the report. Isaiah reads it again. Then again.
Mariah… Is this real?
The doctor told me the test was positive.
Isaiah sits down, looking like he has just been hit with unexpected news.
Isaiah’s Living Room — Continuous
Silence fills the room. Mariah stands across from Isaiah.
I don’t even know what to say.
I didn’t come here to fight with you. I came because you deserve to know.
Why didn’t you call me?
Because I knew you were already trying to walk away from me. You were ready to end everything without even telling me why.
Her words hurt.
I thought ending the relationship would stop the problems.
There are some problems you can’t just walk away from.
Isaiah becomes silent.
JB Returns
The front door opens. JB walks inside and immediately notices the tension.
What’s going on?
Isaiah can’t speak. Mariah holds the report. JB notices it.
What is that?
Mariah is pregnant.
JB freezes.
What?
That’s why I came here.
You were just talking about ending this relationship. And now you’re dealing with something much bigger.
Isaiah doesn’t respond.
The Confrontation
Mariah wipes away a tear.
I’m not asking you to pretend everything is perfect. I’m asking you to stop running away from difficult conversations.
I was scared.
So was I.
A long silence follows.
I don’t know what happens now.
Neither do I. But we have to handle this responsibly.
JB steps forward.
The first thing you both need to do is stay calm and get proper medical confirmation and guidance.
You’re right.
Isaiah’s Decision
Isaiah looks at Mariah. His expression is completely different now — the anger and confusion are gone. Only uncertainty remains.
Mariah, I can’t promise that I know how to fix everything today. But I can promise that I’m not going to ignore this.
That’s all I needed to hear right now.
We’ll figure out what comes next.
JB watches them carefully. The situation is far from solved. But for the first time, Isaiah isn’t trying to escape it.
Outside the House — Evening
Mariah walks outside. Isaiah follows her to the door. They stand quietly.
Are you okay?
Mariah thinks for a moment.
Honestly? No. But I’ll be okay.
We need to talk again after we’ve had time to process everything.
Yes.
Mariah walks away. Isaiah watches her leave, looking down at the pregnancy report still in his hand. His entire future suddenly feels uncertain.
The Next Morning
Isaiah sits alone at the kitchen table. His phone rings. It’s Mariah. He answers.
Hello?
Mariah’s voice is calm.
I made another appointment. I think we both need to be there.
I’ll be there.
Isaiah?
Yeah?
Whatever happens between us, we need to handle this with honesty.
I understand.
The call ends. Isaiah sits quietly. The relationship that he was preparing to end has suddenly taken a completely unexpected turn. Now he has to face the consequences of his decisions, figure out what he truly wants, and decide whether he and Mariah can move forward together.
