ross

a father. i'm going to be a father. i hadn't even thought about it up till now. laying in bed. i just got off skype with laura, and it's about 11PM.

don't get me wrong, i'm excited to be a father, but i never really thought about it. would i be a good father? would i be a boring father? nah, i'd be the coolest father out there.

i'm gonna have a little human in my arms in three months. only 90 days. and that little human is gonna be mine. it'll belong to me.

thinking of all of this makes me anxious, but excited at the same time.

i hope it looks like laura. with her beautiful soft brown hair, mesmerizing eyes, cute little nose, flawless skin. man, that would be amazing.

- next day -

laura

baby, i'm, dancing in the dark,
with you between my arms

the soft music calmed me down. i feel extremely nauseous and i feel like i'm gonna faint. i'm supposed to be on set in an hour, but i literally cant move.

and to top it off, the baby has been kicking non stop today. it's going crazy.

just as that thought crossed my mind, it kicked again. once. twice. and it went on and on, a never ending cycle.

ross

laura and i both don't have filming today. her filming got canceled because she felt very sick, i just have the day off.

"laur, are you sure you don't wanna go to the hospital?" i asked her, on skype. "yes i'm sure ross. i'm not in the mood" her hand landed on her forehead.

she's very moody nowadays, but i understand. "is the baby still kicking?" i ask. she sighed "yeah" she simply said.

"can you plug in some headphones and put them on your belly? i'll sing to it. i heard it's healthy" i smiled. "okay" she fiddled with something behind the laptop, before getting out some headphones and plugging them in.

after they were set on her baby bump, i started lightly singing.

"The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me and love another
You would've shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away"

i stopped mid-song when i realized laura smiling, and staring at me.

"hey there precious, i know you want to get out of there and see this world. you just have to wait a few months, i promise. in the mean time, please stop bothering your mommy, we both love you and are very excited to meet you" i said, in a light voice.

laura took the headphones off the baby bump, and smiled widely. "it stopped" she whispered. "it actually stopped kicking" she excitedly giggled.

"ross you're like a magical weapon i swear"
