Lonely father // S.M. ( Completed)

3

We are going to announce my parents about the baby in a few. We are over for dinner right now , for the usual family Friday night . Aaliyah is waiting to hear what we have to say while my parents are thinking of the worse scenarios . I consider having a baby a good news . I don't know how will they get it. But I know Lydia isn't looking forward for it

"We have to tell you something" I say pulling my chair away from the table a lot bit , as I feel my fork and knife by the plate

"Finally" Aaliyah mumbles

"Shawn just tell it. Don't make us have a heart attack" dad says , taking off his glasses

"Is it something that will make us jump from our seats or get to meat St. Peter?" My mom says with her British accent. St. Peter is the saint of the season people , I don't think they will meet him any time soon

"I don't know " Lydia says , eating from her plate

"Shawn I demand you to speak" my mom says ready to faint

"We are having a baby" I say , with a wide smile and Aaliyah is the first one to jump on me

"You will be a dad. I'm gonna have a little niece or nefew. I can't believe this" Aaliyah says "I'm gonna pick the name" she says sitting back to her seat

My mom is still shocked. But in the good way. I can see the tears forming in her eyes

"It seems that the conversations about how to use a condom didn't work out. But I'm happy that my boy will be happy" my dad says engulfing me into a hug . " I love you" he says in my ear

"Love you too dad." I say lightly laughing before pulling out of the hug

My mom gets from her seat and fuest hugs Lydia , which seems not to like the fact she hugged her and then she hugs me

"My baby will have a baby" mom says between tears "I'm not prepared for this. I can't be a grandmother. I'm too young" she says , still not pulling away from the hug

"You are just fine. Maybe we did it too fast" I say , trying to getaway from her hug as I will die from minor oxygen that gets into my lungs

"When I said to get rid of it ,you didn't want . So don't say we did it fast" Lydia says looking at her empty plate

"You won't keep the baby?" Aaliyah asks

"We will" I say looking at Lydia and she just rolls her eyes

"Excuse me" she says up from her chair and going to the bathroom

There is silence all around the table. No one talking , no one reacting

"You must thing the pros and cons of having a child now" dad says , like he regrets saying it

"She things that kids only want money . I'm trying to gain money. I got   a job at the local jym. I'm trying to find someone how wants to learn guitar so I can teach him and gain money from it . I'm also studying for my diploma in architecture . We can do this . Lydia is not willing to do it . Not now . Not ever" I say feeling my stomach twist

"Shawn , it's a baby. It will need money. But Lydia must be overacting or hating the baby. Sit with her and have a chat about it. Whatever you choose will be acceptable" dad says ans Aaliyah gets up from the table and run upstairs, without saying a single word

" Just because she hates the baby , doesn't mean you have to get rid of it. It's a life. It's the combination of you. Don't just throw it away" my mom says and then we stop talking when Lydia comes downstairs

She looks like she has been crying . Red puffy eyes , trembling hands and running voice . If the baby will make her lose her mind , is then worth of trying to convince her to keep it?
