I hated waiting. I always hated waiting. Especially when I was waiting on someone. It had been 2 days and he still hadn't called or anything. Kirsten keeps telling me he just needs time but time runs out eventually, I'm worried he won't call until the baby's here. Or he won't call at all.

My phone began to buzz on the table. I snatched it up and looked at the caller ID. Mark. I quickly answered

"Hello" I said

"Uh, Hey" He said

"So do you know where you stand on the whole you know baby thing?" I asked

"Uhh yeah, sorry I kept you waiting so long. I wanna be in the baby's life, I'm just scared you know? It's a big thing and I want to help you through it" Mark said

I felt the tears of relief and happiness brim in my eyes "Thank you Mark"

"Are you crying?" He asked softly

"A little bit" I sniffled

"No, please don't cry" He said

"I'm happy I promise" I sniffed

"Look I gotta go but I want to talk again soon" Mark said

"Okay" I smiled

"Send the baby my love" he added

"I will"

I felt like someone just lifted a ton weight of my shoulders. I knew he would help me, keep the baby safe. I felt like things were going right, even though my life was about to be turned upside down.
