Elizabeth (shocked): "Atlas, I didn't betray anything! I have..."

Atlas (interrupting): "Save your explanations, Elizabeth. I already know what you're about to say. You're pregnant. Isn't that right?"

Elizabeth (voice shaky): "Yes, Atlas. I'm pregnant with our child. I thought you would be happy."

Atlas (raising his voice): "Happy? How could I possibly be happy? This changes everything! We had an agreement, Elizabeth. No commitments, no complications. And now, you've shattered that."

Elizabeth (tears welling up in her eyes): "But Atlas, this is not a complication. This child is a gift, a product of our love. Can't you see that?"

Atlas (bitterly): "A gift, you say? It's a burden, Elizabeth. A burden that will tie us together, that will expose our secret, and bring nothing but pain and suffering."

Elizabeth (desperately): "I cannot abandon our child, Atlas. I won't. I want us to be a family, to face whatever challenges come our way together."
