Sweating profusely with my lips turning white by the second,
no matter how much I licked them, it didn't work.
With an ulternating rhythm my heart was beating,
at an instance with more beats per minute and some with less.
Confusion 😕 filled me up as I couldn't understand anything,
What exactly was happening?
Feeling light headed, stumbled and had to hold on to the door handle to maintain my balance
Then she said, "babe did you hear me, I'm pregnant"
Is this it, am I really going to be a dad (father)
But why am I so scared, so afraid,
this is supposed to be a good thing, bringing a new life into this world,
my own blood.
Is it that I'm not yet ready, but I thought I had been for some time now,
all those baby names and how we were going to raise our kids discussions.
So what's wrong now that the moment is here?
"Babe are you okay?", she asked again
Now reality struck, the moment is here,
I'm a partial dad now, dude man up, you have always been preparing for this moment. Get hold of yourself
These were just thought going through my head,
like a cool breeze this realisation in thoughts came and made a lot of sense.
Big smile on my face ☺ 😊 😄 we are expecting
I'm going to be a dad...
