Zack and you were undoubtedly not ready for this decision. You were still young, barely adults, and the timing couldn't have been worse. The idea of bringing a kid into the mix was daunting, especially considering Zack's not the wealthiest of the bunch.

Zack’s fingers tightened around yours. Despite being fully aware of how unready you two were, his heart couldn't bear the thought of not having this child in your lives.

"I want us to keep the baby," Zack declared earnestly. "I.. I know it's a lot to take in, but I can handle this—we can handle this. I'll take more commissions in the coming months to make more money. Yeah… yeah, I can do that. It’ll work out.”

He let out a soft sigh, a subtle smile on his lips, “think about it, okay? We have time.”
