Thirty-Two Bridge (Luke Bryan)

Help and Advice

"Mamma can we talk?" I asked as I walked inside the house.

"Yeah Luke what's up?" She asked. "You smell like beer. Were you out on the pier again?"

I nodded. "But it's about that girl I've told you about."

"Caroline?" She asked. I shook my head. She always brings her up.

"No Mariah. The one I was seein for a while then we broke up and are good friends."

"Oh yeah yeah. What happened with you and Caroline?" She asked.

"Mom stop this isn't about Caroline. It's about Mariah so drop it or just forget it." I was starting to get mad.

"Okay. Let's sit." We walked to the living room and sat down. "Now what is it."

"Mariah is pregnant." Mamas eyes got big.

"She's what?!" Mamma asked.

"Pregnant. She got pregnant before we were together and I found out a while ago. But she wants to put the baby up for adoption." I paused. "And I took the responsibility to adopt the child. I mean I said I would."

"Luke you can't. Your career. Your life. Everything you can't just do that."

"I'm still young mamma. I'll hire a babysitter when I get on the road. And I'm on prowl to find a girlfriend." I said in a joking voice. "I'll figure things out but I need to."

"Well it's your choice Luke."

"Aren't you happy mamma?" I paused. "I'm adopting a child that may never see a real family. Or may never see one until he or she gets older. This child may never have a big dream like I did. The only dream they may have is to get out of the foster care home or to be adopted to a loving family. And that's what I'm going to do. Mariah is a good friend. And I'll do it to help her."

"Luke I understand. But you need to think about your life too."

"Mamma, I'm young yet I'm not just going to stop music. Im not that selfish. And I was hopin you could help me with the baby too." She didn't say anything. "Really? You won't help me with this?" I asked and stood up. She still was silent. "Okay bye. I'll find some one else. Id hate to see what you will say when I have a kid of my own." And I started walked to the door.

"Thomas Luther get over here." The words rang in my ears. I turned around. "I never said I wouldn't help. I need alittle time to think about all this. Adopting a baby is a big commitment and I need you to realize that. Some situations it may be dangerous. But this one shouldn't be. You will have to fufill the mother and father responsibilities. I believe you can handle it. And I'll be there by your side to help." I walked over to her and gave her a huge hug.

"Thank you mamma." I kissed her cheek. "I love you." I released the hug and grabbed her shoulders. "I'll do everything I can to keep the baby in loving hands."

She just smiled and said "that's my boy."
I needed to talk to one other person, Seth. I gave him a call.

"Hey buddy." I said.

"Hey what's up?" He asked.

"Can we meet and 32 tonight around 9:30?" I asked.

"Yeah. Like old times? I can do that."

"Thanks. See ya then."

"Yup. Bye."

I hung up. Next stop meet Seth at thirty two bridge at 9:30 to catch up and talk.
