Baby Daddy

Grayson Dolan

I woke up feeling.. Great. I wasn't tired, I didn't have bags under my eyes, and I felt refreshed and.. WHERES AVA.

I looked over to here crib and saw the only thing in there was an empty blanket. Please tell me she didn't climb out and somehow reach the doorknob then run away. I ran downstairs and smelt bacon- what.

I led myself to the kitchen to see Kian over the stove and ava sucking on a banana.

"What's happening- I don't- I don't understand.. I'm not comprehending-"

"Good morning Grayson. Your up early." Kian said smirking looing back at me for a split second.

"Yea.. I'm not as tired as I usually am- hey Kian? What are you doing?" I asked in shock.

"I heard Ava squirming around in her crib-"

"How did you hear th-"

"So I went into your room and tried to put her back to sleep but she wouldn't settle down, so I decided to feed her but then thought.. hm.. why not feed myself. So I found some bacon in the back of the fridge which no one ever cooked-"

"Because we don't know how to cook-"

"Well yea.. so I went on google and found this amazing set of instructions on how to properly cook well done, crispy, juicy, delicious bacon."

"Did you also look up those adjectives?"

"The point is!" Kian finished off, "We could do a lot more if we just applied ourselves. Gray, the internet, is a great place. I can literally type in anything, and it'll teach me how to do it like a pro. For dinner, I'm gonna cook medium rare steak, with rice, and peas. You know why? Because google says I can."

I just stood there in shock at the words, INTELLIGENT words coming out of his mouth.

"Your pranking me right now aren't you?"

"No Grayson. I just realized, I can take care of this baby, as long as I have google. When she's crying I can type 'how to quiet a baby' and it'll come up with hundreds of responses. Grayson don't you get it? I can easily search 'how to be a good dad' and by the next day, I could possibly win daddy of the year."

"I mean yea, but I think the mommy category fits you a little more than a father role."

"I SMELL BACON PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT DREAMING AND THERES ACTUALLY BAC- what the fuck are you doing." Ethan said running into the kitchen then stopping when he saw Kian.

"Hungry?" Kian asked setting the bacon on a plate.

"He's feeling good about himself, just let him have it." I whispered to Ethan.

Ethan put a very confused look upon his face as he grabbed a piece of bacon and took a bite out of it. His eyes soon lit up, "Dude, dude dude dude dude dude, this bacon taste GREAT."

"Thanks to the chef." Ethan said standing in the corner like a proud mother. I proceeded to taste the bacon, and the bacon was great. It was DELICIOUS.

"How." Ethan asked with amazement, "How did you  make something this delicious- how did you even learn how to turn the stove on!"

"Google Ethan. Google knows all." Kian said wiping his hands on his shirt and going to pick up Ava. She reached for the bacon but obviously she couldn't eat it since she has to no teeth, but that didn't stop her, she started sucking on it with her gums.

"This bacon is good and all." Ethan whispered to me, "But Kians definitely not."

I came downstairs sleepily and smelt a faint smell of bacon. I must be hallucinating or some shit. I went downstairs and saw the whole gang in the living room watching tv.

"Do you guys smell that?" I asked as the smell became clearer.

"It's bacon." Ethan informed me.

I squinted my eyebrows, "Who cooked bacon?"

"Kian." Ethan answered again, "Before you say anything, yes, the bacon was good as hell, no, we didn't save you any, yes, Kian can cook, and no, he's not okay."

I sighed, welp that pretty much answers the majority of my questions. I sat on the couch with them and started speaking to Kian, "What'd you do all this for?"

"Why does everyone keep asking that? You guys act like it's sooooo shocking that I cooked bacon for breakfast! Any idiot can cook bacon!" Kian burst.

"Yea, but you've never done it before! Before today you wouldn't have even went near a stove, and now all of sudden your in the kitchen cooking bacon!" I burst back, "That's not you. You don't cook."

"Well I did. And I'm gonna be cooking a lot more often."

"Kian that's great but why?" Ethan asked joining the conversation.

"Because I don't think it's such a bad idea to want a home cooked meal once in a while."

"See now you just sound like my mom." I exclaimed, "Is this about Andrea? Is this about what she said yesterday about you being a father to ava? Is this some kind of.. Comeback to show us all that she was wrong?"

"I can't just wake up and want to cook?! God you guys are so questiony."

"Cook. For. What. You want bacon? Then go to Waffle House! You want steak and rice and peas then go to Olive Garden! This isn't about being a dad anymore-"

"Really Ethan? Because this is ALL about being a dad! I should be able to handle this and not struggle. What's wrong about not wanting to struggle?! I don't want her to have a fucked up life! My fucked up life is what got her here in the first place and maybe- JUST MAYBE I don't wanna be a fuck up anymore! Maybe I want to be a dad!"

The whole room just went quiet and everyone just stopped breathing for a quick second.

"What happened?" Grayson whispered.

Kian stayed quiet for a moment and I swear I saw his eyes glisten with tears, "I have another kid."
