She nodded, watching his reaction carefully.

Amelia: "Yes."

He stood up abruptly, pacing.

Xander: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Amelia: "I just found out myself. I needed time to process."

Xander: "Amelia, this changes everything."

Amelia: "I know. That's why I need to leave. To figure things out."

He stopped pacing, turning to face her.

Xander: "You can't just leave. We need to handle this together."

Amelia: "Like we've handled everything else?"

He flinched at her words.

Xander: "I deserve that. But I'm willing to make things right."

Amelia: "I don't know if that's possible."

He knelt down in front of her, taking her hands in his.

Xander: "Please, give me a chance. Let me be there for you and our child."

She looked into his eyes, torn between hope and caution.

Amelia: "How can I trust that things will be different?"

Xander: "Because I won't make the same mistakes again. I promise to protect you both, no matter what."

She searched his face for sincerity.

Amelia: "I want to believe you."

Xander: "Then let me prove it."

She sighed softly.

Amelia: "Alright. But we need to set some ground rules."

Xander: Nodding eagerly "Anything."

Amelia: "No more secrets. No more pushing me away when things get tough."

Xander: "Agreed."

Amelia: "And we make decisions together."

Xander: "Of course."

She squeezed his hands gently.

Amelia: "Okay."
