THIS is it. ain't it? the bubble burstin'. she's leavin' him- callin' it quits. she's found somebody else. been with 'em already, maybe... leavin' him for them. knew this was comin'. knew it was too good to be true. too good for him this is what he gets... what he damn well deserves. fer thinkin' he could have this. a life, a love, like this. with a woman like her?... 's like a dream. more than someone like him could should ever've dared to dream of. what if he's got the wrong end of the stick here, though? like, maybe she's sick or somethin'? fuck... what if she's sick? the fuck's he gunna do with that, huh?! fuck's he gonna do without her- nah. can't won't go there. calm yerself, man. maybe, by some miracle, it's somethin', anything, other than worst case scenario. can't be. but, it's gotta be. got to be... please let it be ❛ i wanna do anything and everything ya ask of me, darlin'... but, i dunno if i can do that. i might freak the fuck out. throw a buncha shit around. bawl my eye out... but, i can promise ya one thing. two things, actually. first... i love ya. more than anything. more than life itself. second... i want ya to be happy. whatever that looks like for ya. long as yer happy and healthy, i'm happy. alright... lay it on me, darlin'. ❜ there's no way. no freakin' way... can't be. could it? ❛ i... huh? i... we're... havin' a baby? huh?! ❜ he's freakin' the freak out, all right. as not promised! but, in a good way, the best way, possible. shouting and laughin' his damn head off. taking lore's face in his hands and planting a whole buncha unsteady, quick little kisses all over it, before restin' his forehead against hers. still laughin' a little. maybe tearin' up some- just a little... or, a lot maybe he's lost his damn mind fer real- for good- this time. don't matter! he's on top of the damn world right now! the happiest, luckiest fool in it. and he's not comin' down anytime soon! not fer all the dough on this earth. pickin' lori-chan up and spinning her 'round in his arms before thinkin' twice 'bout it. ❛ sorry, darlin'! sorry, mama! we're havin' a baby, baby! i'm gonna be a daddy... a goddamn daddy! and you're gunna be a mama! best mama in the whole damn world! hottest milf there ever was! hehehe! how's it feel, huh?! ❜ still holding tight to that test in his hand. somethin' he can have and hold to prove he ain't dreamin' here. like it's one of the world's rarest and most priciest treasures. 'cause it is. that's what it is to him. scared he might snap it in two. almost as worried 'bout that as he is of breakin' or dropping it with these big, clumsy freakin' hands of his. this is real, ain't it? really, really real... ❛ how're you feelin', darlin'?... huh? ❜ those worries breakin' on through now. kickin' the door down in his noggin and flooding it. this is big. really, really fuckin' big... how's she feelin' 'bout it? his lori-chan. 'bout him, them... everything? how hard is this gonna hit her? is this what she wants, even? will she want him around? him, who's picked up just about everything there is to know 'bout hurtin' and breaking... raisin' hell and wrecking lives. threatening life. harming it. bein' a family man... like the back of his damn hand. know next to nothin' about lovin', caring... the hell does he know about anything, huh? to be a family man... rearin' scamps. nurturin' and nourishing a whole 'nother life... ❛ talk to me. ❜

not at all a new sentiment but it bears repeating nonetheless
