Chapter 20 Q 10 Silvy has been in the bathroom for three long minutes. I know she is done because I heard the water turn on telling me she washed her hands. The test takes five minutes but I thought she was going to come out before the test was done. We have waited for all the other results together. I'm trying my best to keep from bouncing my leg. Finally, I hear the click of the doorknob. I see Silvy coming out of the bathroom looking down at the test stick in her hand. I can tell from the look on her face if it is good or bad news. I stood up and went to her. I place my hands on her shoulders Babe?" Silvy looks up. She somehow looks happy and sad at the same time. "It's positive. I'm pregnant, " she said. Then she chuckles," You got me pregnant." Babe, that's great," I said as I pulled her into a hug. I can't believe it. I'm going to be a dad. I want to shout it to the world but I know Silvy isn't ready for that. But I will soon. I pull back when I remember the look on her face. "Babe, what's wrong? This is what you wanted." I asked. Silvy nods but I notice she sniffles too. "It was. It is. It's just . " she stops. " Don't shut me out, babe," I said. "It is stupid. I was just thinking now that your part is done I won't see my best friend as much and it made me sad," she said. Now I'm confused." Why wouldn't you see Lilly as much?" I asked because it didn't make any sense. Silvy giggles again, "No silly. You. You are my best friend Goof." Wow, I know we are close. And I'm trying to get closer to her but I never had an idea she thought of me as her best friend. "Babe, listen to me good. Just because I got you pregnant doesn't mean I'm not going to be here for you. Whenever you need me I'll be by your side." I said. "But that wasn't part of our deal. You were going to walk away, so you could go back to your carefree life. You know the skanks and parties." she said. "So we change the deal again. I will be with you through the entire pregnancy. Doctor's appointments, ultrasounds, and birthing classes. You name it, I will be with you." I told her. "Really? You would do that for me?" she asked. When is she going to see this is what I have wanted all along? "Babe. You don't have to do this entirely alone." I said, hoping she understands that I'm all in. Silvy wraps her arms around my waist, hugging me tight. Thank you Goof. I know my dad said he would help me but with Gena and Xavier he won't have as much time. You are always there for me. I don't know what I would do without you." she said. Don't worry babe, you will never have to find out. When Silvy lets go I get on my knees so my face is at her stomach. "You hear that little bit. Daddy is going to help Mommy out to make sure you come into this world healthy." I said. Silvy laughs "You know it doesn't have ears yet. It can't hear you." "I'm practicing. Get used to it. I'm going to be talking to your stomach often." I said. "I promise Daddy is going to take good care of Mommy," I said. Silvy smiles down at me but doesn't say anything about me calling myself daddy. Good. She is going to have to get used to it. I am this baby's daddy. Chapter Comments a anagonz 1 days ago Goof is so sweet!
