Triggers: pretty depressing? cussing. oh and (y/c/n) is your child's name
Time period: Present

John's eyes felt like rolling into the back of his head as he sat up, hearing his child's cries at 3 in the morning.

He was extremely drained. Bags under his eyes. His curly hair usually fairly tame, was unruly.
He didn't know he'd be raising a kid on his own.
" John! " you exclaimed as he walked through the door to your shared apartment. " Hey baby! " he grinned, pressing a sweet kiss to your cheek.

" John, I uh.. I need to tell you something. "
John felt his stomach drop. He was nervous. You was so playful and fun, there was barely any confrontation.

" I uh.. I.. "
He sat in silence, playing with your hands.
" I'm pregnant. "
Shocked, he looked up. " What? "
You let out a nervous chuckle, " Uh, yeah.. "
His eyes lit up like the Fourth of July

. He quickly picked you up, giggling, and pressed short kisses on your nose, cheeks, and forehead. " Babe, oh my god?! I'm gonna be a dad! It'll be the cutest baby ever I bet, since it's gonna look like you! " he was yelling, affectionately dancing around the room with you still in his arms.

John sighed, sliding out of bed and going over to the other side of the room. There, his child, with unbearable resemblance to you, laid, while letting out cries.

" Hey, baby girl. Shh. Daddy's here, " he murmured, picking up the small human and sitting down on the bed. He cradled the baby, staring affectionately down.

" We need to start thinking about baby names, " you said from the living room as John walked in, jumping on the couch to 3 month pregnant you. " Sounds like a good idea. What do you like? " he asked, peering over at the laptop you were using. You had several tabs open, all have something to do with baby names.

" Uh, for girls, I like Daisy. Or Elizabeth?.. " you mutter, scrolling through a girl baby name list.

" Elizabeth's pretty good despite it being Alexander's girlfriend's name, " he chuckled.
" True. Oh, my shit! How about ( Y/C/N )? " grinning you glance at your boyfriend. His eyes gleam and he nods enthusiastically.

" You know, your mother would've loved you, " he whispered to the baby, feeding her. " You were all she wanted. She was so excited to start a family, to- "

He was interrupted by his best friend, Alexander, opening the door slowly.
" Hey, " Alex whispered, sitting down on the bed next to him.

" Hey, Al... What are you doing up? " he muttered, looking at the man sitting next to him.

" Heard the baby. Decided to make sure you were okay, " he said back, playing with (Y/C/N)'s fingers. She let out small noises of approval.

Currently, John was staying with Alexander and Eliza. He quickly moved out of the apartment, not wanting to be there without you.

" Thanks, but.. I'm doing fine. She was just hungry. You can go back to bed. "
" Alright. Get some sleep, okay John? " Alex got up, opening the door. " We'll take her tomorrow night so you can sleep. "

" Alright, thanks, " he sighed out as the man left. ( Y/C/N ) was staring up at John in complete admiration.

" What are you lookin' at little girl? " he grinned, planting little kisses on her face. The baby let out happy giggles.

The baby watched John as a few tears rolled down his cheeks. " Boy, would it be easier with your mother around, " he whispered, putting her back into her crib and wiping them. How he wished he could have you wipe away his tears again.

" Goodnight, ( Y/C/N ). "
