What was supposed to be a happy homecoming is about to turn into a public nightmare. Isaiah is finally returning to his hometown, but he has no idea that two women are waiting for him at the airport. Brooke believes she is the woman Isaiah truly loves, while Mariah is carrying a secret that could change all their lives. Neither woman knows that they are about to discover the biggest betrayal of their lives. And when Isaiah finally walks through those airport doors, there will be nowhere left for him to hide.

The airport is crowded with travelers rushing toward their destinations. Families are greeting their loved ones, people are hugging, and others are waiting impatiently near the arrival gates.

Brooke stands near the entrance, holding her phone and constantly checking the arrival screen.

She looks nervous but excited.

After everything that has happened between her and Isaiah, she cannot wait to see him again.

She adjusts her clothes, takes a deep breath, and smiles to herself.

BROOKE:
“Finally, Isaiah is coming home. I just hope things will be different this time. We have so much to talk about, and I need him to understand how much he means to me.”

Brooke checks her phone again.

There is no new message from Isaiah.

She decides to call him, but his phone goes straight to voicemail.

BROOKE:
“Why isn’t he answering? Maybe he’s already on the plane. Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll see him in a few minutes.”

She puts her phone away and continues waiting.

What Brooke doesn’t know is that she is not the only woman who has come to welcome Isaiah.

On the other side of the airport, Mariah slowly walks toward the arrival area.

One hand rests gently on her pregnant belly while the other holds her handbag.

She looks happy, but there is also nervousness in her eyes.

Mariah has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell Isaiah about her pregnancy.

She knows that the news will surprise him, but she believes he deserves to know that he is going to become a father.

She looks at her phone and reads an old message from Isaiah.

A small smile appears on her face.

MARIAH:
“I can’t believe I’m finally going to see him again. He’s going to be shocked when he finds out about the baby. I just hope he understands that I need him in my life.”

Mariah gently touches her stomach.

MARIAH:
“Your daddy is coming home today. I hope everything works out between us.”

She looks toward the arrival gates.

Suddenly, she notices Brooke standing nearby.

Mariah recognizes her immediately.

Her smile disappears.

She wonders what Brooke could possibly be doing at the airport.

For a moment, she considers walking away, but curiosity gets the better of her.

Brooke turns around while checking the arrival screen.

Her eyes suddenly land on Mariah.

She freezes.

She recognizes her immediately and cannot understand why she is there.

Brooke looks at Mariah, then notices her pregnant belly.

Her expression changes completely.

She slowly approaches her.

BROOKE:
“Mariah? What are you doing here?”

Mariah looks equally surprised.

MARIAH:
“That’s exactly what I was about to ask you. What are you doing here?”

Brooke folds her arms.

BROOKE:
“I’m here to welcome Isaiah. He’s coming home today.”

Mariah’s eyes widen.

She looks at Brooke in disbelief.

MARIAH:
“Wait! You’re here for Isaiah?”

Brooke nods.

BROOKE:
“Yes. Why? Is there something wrong with that?”

Mariah becomes uncomfortable.

She looks down at her stomach before looking back at Brooke.

MARIAH:
“Brooke, I don’t think you understand what’s happening here.”

Brooke notices her expression.

BROOKE:
“Then explain it to me. And one more thing, why are you pregnant?”

Mariah takes a deep breath.

MARIAH:
“That’s none of your business.”

Brooke shakes her head.

BROOKE:
“Actually, it might be my business. Especially if you’re here for the same man I’m waiting for.”

Mariah looks shocked.

MARIAH:
“Are you telling me that you and Isaiah are together?”

Brooke doesn’t hesitate.

BROOKE:
“Yes. Isaiah and I have a relationship, and he told me that I was the only woman he wanted.”

Mariah’s face changes.

She cannot believe what she has just heard.

Mariah takes a step closer to Brooke.

MARIAH:
“That’s impossible. Isaiah and I have been involved too. He never told me that he was serious about another woman.”

Brooke stares at her.

BROOKE:
“What did you just say?”

MARIAH:
“You heard me. Isaiah and I have a connection, and the baby I’m carrying is his.”

Brooke looks completely devastated.

She slowly steps backward.

BROOKE:
“No. You’re lying. Isaiah would never do something like that to me.”

Mariah becomes emotional.

MARIAH:
“Why would I lie about something like this? Do you think I would come here with a baby just to create problems?”

Brooke looks at Mariah’s stomach again.

Suddenly, everything begins to make sense.

The unanswered questions.

The strange excuses.

The times Isaiah disappeared without explaining where he was going.

Brooke remembers how he repeatedly promised that there was nobody else in his life.

BROOKE:
“So all those times he told me he was busy, he was actually spending time with you?”

Mariah shakes her head.

MARIAH:
“I don’t know what he told you, but he made me believe that we had a future together.”

Brooke becomes furious.

BROOKE:
“He’s going to explain everything today. I’m not leaving this airport until I get the truth.”

Mariah agrees.

Neither woman is willing to walk away.

A few minutes later, the airport announcement confirms the arrival of Isaiah’s flight.

Passengers begin coming through the arrival gates.

Brooke immediately looks toward the entrance.

Mariah does the same.

Finally, Isaiah appears with his luggage.

He looks relaxed and happy to be back home.

He searches the crowd, hoping to see a familiar face.

Then he notices Brooke.

A big smile appears on his face.

But before he can approach her, he notices Mariah standing beside her.

His smile disappears instantly.

He stops walking.

His eyes move from Brooke to Mariah.

For a moment, he looks as if he has forgotten how to speak.

ISAIAH:
“Brooke? Mariah? What are you both doing here?”

Brooke approaches him with an angry expression.

BROOKE:
“That’s what we want to know, Isaiah. Why are both of us here waiting for you?”

Isaiah looks confused.

ISAIAH:
“Can we please talk about this somewhere else? This isn’t the right place.”

Mariah steps forward.

MARIAH:
“No! You’re going to answer us right here. Why is Brooke here? And why didn’t you tell me that you were involved with her?”

Isaiah looks at Brooke.

Brooke’s eyes are filled with disappointment.

BROOKE:
“You told me I was the only woman in your life. Was that another lie?”

Isaiah tries to remain calm.

ISAIAH:
“Brooke, please. Let me explain.”

BROOKE:
“Explain what? That you’ve been playing both of us?”

Mariah steps between them.

MARIAH:
“Isaiah, you haven’t even asked me why I’m here. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting to tell you something?”

Isaiah looks at her stomach.

His expression changes.

ISAIAH:
“Mariah, what’s going on?”

Mariah’s eyes fill with tears.

MARIAH:
“I’m pregnant, Isaiah. I’m carrying your baby.”

The words hit Isaiah like a shock.

He looks completely speechless.

Brooke turns toward him.

BROOKE:
“Did you hear that? You’re going to be a father!”

Isaiah slowly looks back at Mariah.

ISAIAH:
“Mariah, why didn’t you tell me this before?”

Mariah becomes emotional.

MARIAH:
“Because I wanted to tell you in person. I thought you would be happy. I thought we could finally talk about our future.”

Brooke interrupts.

BROOKE:
“What about my future, Isaiah? What about all the promises you made to me?”

Isaiah rubs his forehead.

He realizes that the situation is becoming impossible to control.

ISAIAH:
“Listen, both of you. Things aren’t as simple as you think. I’ve been going through a lot, and I didn’t want to hurt anybody.”

Brooke laughs bitterly.

BROOKE:
“You didn’t want to hurt anybody? Well, congratulations. You’ve managed to hurt both of us!”

Mariah refuses to let Isaiah change the subject.

MARIAH:
“I want an honest answer. Did you tell Brooke that you loved her?”

Isaiah remains silent.

Brooke looks directly into his eyes.

BROOKE:
“Answer her, Isaiah!”

ISAIAH:
“Yes, I care about Brooke, but that doesn’t mean I stopped caring about you, Mariah.”

Mariah shakes her head.

MARIAH:
“So you were telling both of us what we wanted to hear?”

ISAIAH:
“I never planned for things to happen this way.”

Brooke steps closer.

BROOKE:
“Then why did you keep making promises? Why did you tell me that we were going to build a life together?”

Isaiah tries to hold her hand, but Brooke immediately pulls away.

BROOKE:
“Don’t touch me!”

People nearby begin noticing the argument.

Some travelers slow down while others turn around to see what is happening.

Mariah wipes her tears.

MARIAH:
“I trusted you, Isaiah. I believed that you were going to stand beside me when the baby arrived. Now you’re standing here telling me that you love another woman too?”

Isaiah looks around nervously.

ISAIAH:
“Can we please stop shouting? Everyone is watching us.”

Brooke points toward him.

BROOKE:
“You should have thought about that before you decided to lie to two women!”

Isaiah picks up his luggage.

He looks toward the airport exit, hoping to end the confrontation before it gets
