Geoff loads the last of my bags into the truck bed, "I promise Marls, you are going to be in the best hands." He grabs my fingertips to pull me to his chest. Wrapping his arms around me, I take a deep breath in through my nose smelling his shirt. It smells like home. Our home.
My dad comes out the garage door, ever since we told him the news he has been nothing but proud. I'm still a little eerie since I've been spotting, but good ol' trustworthy Google search says that its pretty common during the first trimester. Byron stared out the door frame, his eyes piercing through Geoff. I mean if looks could kill. I glance up at Geoff and he leans down to kiss my forehead.
My father walks towards us and Geoff reaches out to shake his hand but my dad ends up pulling both me and him into a hug, "A MARLEY SANDWICH" he says in a monster voice. Both me and Geoff laugh and he pulls away. I stand by Geoff and look at my dad.
"Please, please keep my baby girl safe," he looks at Geoff, and I see the same hurt in his eyes he had when he told me mom was sick. My stomach turns, and I feel my eyes get hot. I reach out and get into my dads arms. Feeling drops fall into my hair.
"I promise you dad, he'll keep me safe," I mumble into his chest. I already feel the wetness from my tears on his shirt.
"You're always welcome to visit," Geoff chimes in, trying to lighten the mood a little. I let go of my dad and he grabs my hand.
"Same goes for the both of you, and you can bet your ass I will be on the next plane once your due date is near," he chuckles and lets my hand go. "Can't wait to see whatever beautiful baby you're cooking in there." He places his hand against my stomach, "Pop-Pop can't wait to meet you."
We both give my dad one last hug before we both get in the truck. I glance back at the doorway where Byron was watching us, he's no longer there. "Please stay safe dad okay?" I look at my dad out the window.
"Promise baby girl, if I have any problems I'll let you know." I love seeing my dad happy like he was before, I missed him. Geoff pulls out the driveway, and we set towards Texas. His hand rests on my thigh, and at the stop sign he moves to rub my belly.
"I cannot believe I'm gonna be a dad," he says stunned. He glances at me smiling at me, and in that moment I sat up and kissed him. "I can't wait," he says against my lips.
