2023-Dan:
it was another night yesterday where you told me not to film until morning. around 10, you and bella sat in front of me, pressing the record button on my controls. there was lots of quiet talking and big smiles and I stopped listening once bella's eyes started to water. there was more talking and I'm sure you even slipped a tear. it was when bella held up a plastic stick and cried, "I'm pregnant!" was when I froze up and lagged the video on accident.
"dammit dan! not now!" you yelled, hitting the side of my control panel with a frustrated sigh. I was scared, phil. you'd never hit me before.
"philly, baby, it's okay, it's probably just low on battery.."
"he doesn't run on battery, he recharges himself, and as far as I'm concerned, it hasn't broken yet.." you sighed again and I was confused if you still wanted me to film.
"dan?"
"yes phil?"
"cut out from six fifteen to now and continue on a ten second countdown for me please?"
"okay, please hold..."
bella rubbed your back and kissed your pink cheek, and I cut the clip, immediately starting the countdown so you'd just stop touching so much.
I started the recording again, and the you continued your little announcement, but I couldn't help but watch your face as you'd look at me with almost a sorry expression.
and I still loved you, but I was still sad and confused.
