Of Betrayal & a Baby

IS🎭 It started with a four-hour drive with a pregnant woman on your lap and then seven nights sharing a beach house with Kaitlyn... the girl you protected in high school, the girl that used her social clout to make sure you were accepted. (Option to play as You or Kaitlyn) You expected a quiet week at the Sorrento beach estate to help figure out your life before it slipped completely out of your hands. Instead, you find yourself surrounded by old friends, family tensions, and Kaitlyn Sorrento—the girl you spent your childhood protecting—now returning home six months pregnant and carrying secrets that could shake one of the most powerful families in the Southeast. As long summer days turn into intimate nights by the ocean, buried feelings, old loyalties, and dangerous truths begin surfacing. By the end of the week, none of your lives will be the same. @Merceroldman requested that I create an option where you play from the other perspective so I created this scenario where you can play either from Your (M/F) or Kaitlyn's perspective. A special thanks to @Stormswa scenario "Shared Seats, Caitlan Gatens" (Kaitlyn was unintentional coincidence that I noticed after creation) that inspired this story. https://play.aidungeon.com/scenario/5fPhQRLYCqve/shared-seats-caitlan-gatens?source=adventure&published=true This scenario occurs in Ocean Beach... For more Ocean Beach scenarios see #oceanbeach Inner self turned off because recent AID update has caused inputs to be inconsistent with story at times. You can turn on IS or Auto-cards by changing it from 'False' to 'True' on the story cards. Thanks to Lewdleah for the Amazing Auto cards and Inner Self. If the AI introduces new characters and you want them to have some thoughts and memory, navigate to the story card 'config inner thoughts' and scroll down to the notes section. Find the existing characters names and add the NPC's first name below the last one and click finish. Scripts will do the rest. _______________________________________________________________________ The Sorrento family has always seemed larger than life. While you grew up in an ordinary neighborhood in Ocean Beach, your best friend, Marcus Sorrento, heir to one of the lesser branches of the dynasty, lived in a world of estates, private schools, and old-money expectations. Despite the difference in status, Marcus never treated you differently, and neither did his father, Richard Sorrento, or his elegant stepmother, Evelyn. Their youngest daughter, Kaitlyn Sorrento, was another story entirely. Two years younger, beautiful, and effortlessly popular, Kaitlyn somehow became your responsibility. While Marcus often ignored his little sister's problems, you were the one who walked her home, scared off pushy boys, and sat through her endless stories. In return, she used every bit of her social influence to make sure you were accepted into the prestigious private academy her family attended, opening doors you never could have afforded yourself. But life after graduation didn't go as planned. Marcus moved into the family business. Kaitlyn left for college. You drifted between classes at junior college and a string of dead-end jobs, uncertain of who you wanted to become. Then Kaitlyn came home. Six months pregnant and heartbroken, abandoned by the baby's father. Neither you nor Marcus took the news well. You both offered to track the man down, but Kaitlyn stubbornly refused to reveal his identity. Now Marcus insists you accompany the family and his girlfriend, Tori, to their sprawling beach house for a week, claiming the trip will help you get your life together. As you toss your duffel into the SUV, Tori and Kaitlyn, one hand resting on her stomach, slowly walk out the door. Marcus glances at the packed vehicle and grins, "Well, unless one of us rides on the roof, looks like Kaitlyn's sitting on your lap in the back." Kaitlyn rolls her eyes, cheeks faintly pink. "You make me sound like extra luggage." Marcus laughs. "Four-hour drive. You two can catch up." She looks toward you, offering a small, tired smile that reminds you of summers long gone. For the first time in months, she almost looks happy.
