SHAYLA TELL ANTHONY SHE IS PREGNANT
🤰🏽 Shayla Tells Anthony She’s Pregnant… and Nothing Will Ever Be the Same
Chapter One: The Test
Shayla sat on the edge of the bathtub, staring down at the small white stick in her shaking hand. The digital screen blinked once… then again… before the word appeared clear as day:
PREGNANT
She dropped the test into the sink, gripping the edge of the counter like it was the only thing holding her upright. Her mind raced with questions.
“How?”
“Why now?”
“Is this real?”
She had been feeling sick for weeks, dizzy in the mornings, extra emotional, and constantly exhausted. She told herself it was stress. Work, her situation with Kai, the rocky tension with Anthony. But deep down… she knew.
And now, there it was. Proof.
She was pregnant.
With Anthony’s child.
Chapter Two: Complicated History
Shayla and Anthony’s relationship had always been complicated—fiery passion mixed with toxic arguments, late-night hookups, and long, painful silences.
They weren’t together anymore. Hadn’t been for months.
After Anthony left her for Amber, Shayla tried to move on. She told herself she didn’t care. She buried her feelings in work, focused on being a mom to Kai, and pretended she was over him.
But then came that one night… “the slip-up”—the night Anthony showed up after an argument with Amber, frustrated and confused. One thing led to another. They shared drinks, old feelings flared up, and before either of them could stop it...
They made a mistake.
And now… she was carrying the consequence.
Chapter Three: The Decision
Shayla paced the living room, her phone in hand, debating whether to call Anthony or not.
She rehearsed what she’d say a hundred different ways.
“This isn’t a trap.”
“You don’t have to be involved.”
“I’m not asking for anything.”
But no matter how she twisted it, she knew Anthony would freak out. He would question her. Doubt her. Maybe even accuse her of lying.
Still, he deserved to know.
He was the father.
Chapter Four: The Phone Call
Anthony was at his apartment, watching highlights of a basketball game, when his phone buzzed.
Shayla.
He stared at the screen for a second before answering.
“What?” he said, voice dry.
“I need to talk to you,” Shayla said softly.
Anthony groaned. “I’m not in the mood for your drama tonight.”
“This isn’t drama,” she said, her tone trembling. “It’s serious.”
Something in her voice caught him off guard. He turned off the TV. “Okay… what is it?”
Shayla took a deep breath.
“Anthony… I’m pregnant.”
Silence.
So quiet, she thought the line disconnected.
Then finally, he spoke.
“Excuse me?”
Chapter Five: The Explosion
Anthony’s voice shot up fast. “You’re WHAT?”
“I’m pregnant,” she repeated.
“By WHO?”
Shayla closed her eyes, bracing herself. “You. Don’t even pretend like you forgot that night.”
Anthony stood up, pacing his apartment. “We weren’t even together. That was a one-time thing. A mistake!”
“I didn’t plan this!” Shayla snapped. “You think I wanted this? I’ve been terrified to even call you!”
Anthony's voice cracked with anger and fear. “How do I even know it’s mine?”
Shayla’s heart shattered. “Wow… really, Anthony? After everything between us, that’s the first place you go?”
“You gotta understand how this looks—” he started.
“No,” she cut in. “I don’t need your approval. I don’t need your permission. I told you because you deserve to know. What you do with that is up to you.”
She hung up.
Chapter Six: The Aftermath
Anthony sat in silence for almost an hour.
He felt everything at once—rage, panic, confusion, guilt.
He didn’t want to believe it. But deep down… he did.
He remembered that night too well. He remembered how close it felt. How dangerous it was. And now, it had caught up with him.
He didn’t sleep that night.
Chapter Seven: Amber Finds Out
Two days later, Amber walked into the apartment and saw Anthony sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like he hadn’t moved.
She sensed something immediately. “What’s wrong?”
Anthony didn’t look up. “Shayla’s pregnant.”
Amber froze. “What…?”
“She says it’s mine.”
Amber took a step back, tears already welling in her eyes. “Are you serious?”
“I swear to God, it was before we got back together. That one night I told you about. The night we were on a break—”
“You said nothing happened that night!”
“I didn’t think it did!” he cried. “I was drunk, Amber. I didn’t know. I didn’t think—”
Amber turned away. “Of course you didn’t think. You never do.”
Chapter Eight: Shayla’s Strength
Meanwhile, Shayla sat in the OB-GYN waiting room alone. One hand rested gently on her stomach.
She wasn’t sure what the future held. She didn’t know if Anthony would step up. She didn’t know if she’d be a single mother again. She didn’t know how Kai would take it.
But she knew one thing: she would do what she had to.
For herself.
For her baby.
For the future that was coming, no matter what.
Epilogue: New Beginnings
Weeks passed.
Anthony eventually requested a paternity test.
While waiting for the results, he and Shayla had tense, emotional conversations—some ended in shouting, others in silence.
Amber? She pulled away. Said she needed space. And Anthony didn’t blame her.
Life was changing.
Everything was uncertain.
But Shayla… she wasn’t waiting on anyone’s approval anymore.
She had a life growing inside her.
A second chance to get motherhood right.
And this time, whether Anthony was ready or not—she was.
Shayla told Anthony she was pregnant… and it flipped his entire world upside down. But for her, it was the beginning of something deeper: her redemption. 💔➡️🤰🏽➡️❤️
