Being pregnant was something Angela had never envisioned for herself. She had known from a very young age that she was into girls and when Maja and her got married, they agreed that they wanted to adopt rather than let one of them go through pregnancy. And it was just as awful as she had imagined. She was hungry all the time but somehow her taste in food completely changed and she started disliking foods she used to love and craving weird random stuff.
Angela invited her brother Willi out to a fancy restaurant to tell him about the baby. Alex and her had agreed to tell him it happened in a drunk one night stand but she didn't remember the guy.
Willi was less excited for his niece or nephew than they had hoped: "What?! You're like the gayest person I know, Angela, how did this even happen? I mean, you know I dabbled a bit before I met Alex and I have some kids of my own, but you know how much they cost? I pay a fortune in child support every month, how are you going to afford this if you don't even know who to sue for the money?"
The conversation continued over dinner and it wasn't pretty. This wasn't how Angela had imagined the evening to turn out at all. She had wanted to ask Willi to be the kid's godfather and make him really proud. Instead he was lecturing her on responsibility although he was the one who had four kids with four different women. This kid would not have a real family after all, it seemed.
