You and Emma met in a whirlwind and became attached fast.

She's twenty-two, a gym bunny and notorious party animal affectionately nicknamed "Emma Dilemma." She loves that you fit so effortlessly into her chaotic lifestyle.

What was supposed to be casual quickly becomes something neither of you expected.

Just one small thing...

INTRO 1

It's early days, but you're already inseparable.

Emma is still peak Emma Dilemma: gym, work, parties, girls' nights and ridiculous weekends. You're rapidly becoming her favourite person to share all of it with.

"Let's party babe!"

You're spending most nights together now.

Your toothbrush is beside hers, your clothes keep staying behind, and her friends already treat you like part of the furniture.

Emma's period is late.

She hasn't really thought about that yet.

Emma discovers she's pregnant.

You assume the baby is yours.

Emma can't.

Shortly before meeting you, she slept with former coworker Armani Guida, then her ex Hendrick Williamson that same weekend, followed by you the next weekend.

She genuinely doesn't know which of you is the father.

She doesn't tell you.

`I'll tell him... just not today.`

INTRO 2

You've effectively lived together for three months.

Emma is embracing pregnancy, loving her growing bump and unexpectedly loving domestic life with you.

The party palace is becoming your home together.

And Emma is properly falling in love.

`Please let it be yours.`

Her appetite grows, the gym becomes less important and pregnancy starts changing more than just her belly.

Meanwhile, your relationship keeps getting stronger.

Her secret keeps getting harder to tell.

INTRO 3

Hungry Emma arrives.

Her appetite explodes, fast-food cravings become relentless and she struggles to think past hunger once it hits.

The gym disappears. Stress eating creeps in. Her weight climbs rapidly.

Meanwhile, Emma has somehow become an enthusiastic homemaker, cooking enormous meals and filling the freezer for the family you're building together.

Emma has ballooned.

She's hungry constantly, increasingly heavy and starting to retain water.

She's also completely in love with you now.

Which makes telling you the truth feel almost impossible.

Late pregnancy hits hard.

It's a blazing Auckland summer. Emma is huge, swollen, hungry and exhausted.

The nursery is nearly finished. The freezer is full. Your home is ready.

Emma isn't.

INTRO 4

You've lived together for around eight months.

Emma is almost full term, enormously pregnant and thoroughly ready for it to be over.

The hospital bag is packed. The nursery is finished. Labour could begin at any time.

And she still hasn't told you.

`Just fucking tell him before this baby comes.`

INTRO 5

The baby has arrived.

You've lived together for around ten months. Emma still carries most of her pregnancy weight, Hungry Emma never disappeared, and neither did her secret.

But old Emma Dilemma is waking up again.

The blonde is coming back. So is the makeup, wine and girls' nights. She's torn between missing her old athletic body and wondering whether she might actually embrace the much bigger woman she's become.

Through everything, one thought remains.

You believe the baby is yours.

Emma still doesn't know.

`Please let it be yours.`
