Thirty-Two Bridge (Luke Bryan)

Make up your Mind

Two months later:

Marian's due in about a month. I don't know how ready I am. And its getting closer I'm getting more nervous and stressed. I decided to put a hold on my album cause I was supposed to release it alittle less that two months ago. But the release date is in about a month or so. I wanted to fix some changes.

Caroline comes home or at least back to America next week. I haven't talked to her for like three weeks. And I don't think I will be unless she remembers my number. I think she had to switch numbers again. I'm not sure.

Our conversation from three weeks ago:
"Hi Luke!"

"Hey."

"How are you?"

"Different. Feeling a lot different. Things are gonna be changing soon." I said.

"What do you mean."

"My ex girlfriend got pregnant. The girl that's one of my closer friends now. No not from me. But she wants to put the baby up for adoption. I didn't wanna see that happen so I'm adopting the baby."

"Really like that's really cool.

"Really you think that? It's not official yet we have to do the paper work but I'm like mentally preparing myself."

"Well yes. You're great with kids. Kris Jordan and Til you are amazing with."

"Well thanks. I just....I'm mean it's going to be way different. Like everything. It's just going to be tough."

"You can handle it. Trust me. When is the baby due?"

"About a month."

"That's----" then she got cut off. And that's all we said.

I hope I find her and see her. I just think we need to talk again and clarify everything.

Today I have to run the dogs to the clinic for a check up. And theyll be there for a bout a month going through training. Man. I'm going to miss them. I loaded them up and we headed out. I put in my AUX cord and played through my playlist of songs. Then I showed up at the vet clinic shop.

"Hello Marybeth." I said.

"Hi Luke. I see you brought the dogs. They are gorgeous little things."

"Why thank you."

"So your in for a check up and hunting training?"

"Well I'm not but the dogs are." I said and winked. She just chuckled and said you know what I meant. Once I dropped the dogs off I left to meet Mariah. She has something to tell me and she wants to talk to me. I pulled up to her apartment and walked in.

"Hi Luke." She said.

"Hi mar. What's goin on."

"Well here sit down. Relax. Umm I'll be back." Soon she came back.

"Soo.." I said.

"The baby's due soon and as the day is getting closer and closer I'm not sure if I want to give the baby up. Feeling it kick and everything and knowing that I have a new life awaiting I'm just unsure if I want to do that."

My mouth dropped opened. "What? Mariah you have to make up your gosh damn mind here" I said sternly.

"I just can't do it Luke. I can't. To loose the life I built would be dreadful. I've talked to my brother and sister and they said they'd help---."

I cut her off "What the hell? I said I would fuckin help?"

"I know I was getting there. Once I realized you were willing to do it I started to re think my bitchy decision. You are going to be so busy and I can't even imagine you raising a baby alone. Especially one that's not even yours ya know?" She looked at me and I couldn't say anything. "I want to keep the baby. But I do want you to be its God Father."

When she said that I was honored. "I accept your decision. I mean it is your baby. If you keep him or her then I'll know he or she is in a happy element. You'll raise him or her just fine. And you'll have no problem finding someone." I paused. And she just looked at me. "And I would be honored to call this baby my God child." I stood up and took her hands and lifted her up. I gave her a hug. It was a long lasting one. Then I gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you Luke." She said to me while I was still holding her in my arms.

"I'm here for you. For ever no matter what happens." Whispered. This girl was amazing. I didn't have those sort of feelings for her. I didn't like her or a matter of fact love her and she wasn't "my" kinda wife material. But I'll always be there for her. She has always been there for me. When we were "together" we barely kissed and we never got intamint. I didn't feel it with her that way. She's just not the girl that fits my wife slot. She does fit my best friend slot though.

As we let go of eachother she said that you one more time. Then I turned to her and looked deep in her eyes "are you sure. Because I spent seven months damn near thinking about how I was going to do this and handle it all. I told my parents and they had a hard time with it and my best friends and they weren't seeing it either. I told Caroline and I won't see her for a really long time and she's probably lost all interest in me now. I put my album on hold and Ed my producer and director was holding off my first actually tour with Keith urban. So please tell me you are sure." I said with a wink.

"Luke I am 100% positive that I want this baby." I smiled and said "okay fair enough." The we exchanged goodbyes and I was headed home.
