A Monsters Baby

ch 8

Donny's pov

I wake up in a daze feeling nauseous, wanting to throw up.  I sat up from my bed and 'wait...when did I get to my room?' I thought for a moment 'It was probably Diana who carried me to my room.  I should thank her later.'  I look around my room and see a glass of water.

I take big gulps feeling dehydrated.  I get out of my bed and go to take a shower feeling sweaty and greasy.  Once done I head out to see Diana in the living room sitting on the couch I decide to sit next to her.  "Hey...uh thanks for putting me in my room." "No problem" She says.

The atmosphere was awkward.  I was still nauseous after the news, and because of my pregnancy.  What am I even gonna do with the baby?  How am I even supposed to take care of it when I live with other people, or even take care of it in general.

"Diana do you think I'll even be a good dad or mom or whatever I am...will I even be able to take care of them."  She looks at me wide eyed.  "Donny I'm not gonna say you'll be a bad parent, but what parent really knows how to be a good parent.  When they just start out they don't know what to do or how to do it.  All they can really do is take advice from others, get as much help as they can, and try to do their best.  Of course it won't be easy, but when is anything you first try really easy?"

I look at her my eyes a bit watery near tears.  "I don't think you'll be a bad parent, but...you're just gonna have to see for yourself how it goes." She says.  Now I fully balling my eyes out.  "What am I going to do will they even love me, will I even love them!" "Donny please calm down I know this a lot for you, but you need to stay calm."

I take deep breaths as much as I can but keep crying.  "Look Donny I don't know what's gonna happen with you and your baby, but I know you'll love them, but if you don't you don't have to keep them others will love and cherish them."

"No!...n-no I don't want to give them up.  I want to keep them... but what do I do?  How far along even am I?"  "Well I've got that planned.  I scheduled an appointment for you in April the 16th so 3 days from now, and I'll help you with the baby as much as I can."

"Thank you...thank you so much for being with me through this Diana I really wouldn't be able to handle this without you."  I wipe my tears away and lay my head on her shoulder.  She puts her arm around me and rubs my arm.

We're both silent for a moment "Diana..." "Yeah" "Just...thank you." "You're welcome Donny."  I close my eyes and sink down in the warm comfort.  She felt warm and smelled of lavender and strawberries.  I feel so safe in her arms.  I...I feel loved.  I love Diana...wait do I love Diana?  I open my eyes a bit and look up at her.

Her skin is like carmal and her shiny black hair shines in the gold light.  Her lips are a darker shade with a tint of red.  Her face is smooth and glows like a beautiful chocolate melting in the sun.  She's so lovely and loving, and I feel loved by her I really love her.
