I Want To Be The Father I Deserved To Have To My Own Child
Chapter 22
Barney's POV
A month later...
We've been to twenty medical appointments and even some parenting classes. Neither one of us wanted to sign up for the parenting classes, but in the end we saw the reasoning in it. Both of us are very inexperienced in caring for children and could use whatever extra knowledge that can help us in our lives of parenthood.
Now you're probably wondering if I have any doubts about my abilities of becoming a father in less than eight months time. The honest answer is yes. My father wasn't around when I was a kid. In fact, it took him thirty years to reenter my life. Thirty years is too long to be separated from a family member. The bond you once had with that person becomes strained. It took me a long time to sever my relationship back with my dad, but eventually I did and he's stayed in my life consistently. That shows that he owned up to his mistakes and sincerely wanted to earn back my trust.
I shouldn't judge my father as much as I do sometimes because I'm highly flawed myself. I'm ashamed of the way I treated women before I got back together with Robin and married her. If we have a son, I'm going to do everything it acts to make sure that I don't instill my past actions onto him. If we have a daughter, I'm going to make sure she never ends up with a guy like that. Plus if the guy is anything like I was, I'll kick his ass with no hesitation whatsoever. The point is at the end of the day, I want to be the father I deserved to have as a child to my own child.
