#daddy days

Hello~ Admin Kai here! I hope everyone is having a great day! I’m loafing around and hope to get some things out of le ask box! I had these hanging out for awhile and I thought I would post them. I hope everyone likes them! Enjoy~

-Was super excited to find out he was going to be dad but then threw up the next morning with his wife feeling the pressure

-Bought a ton of stuff all themed basketball

-His wife insisted she do the baby room so it’s also not the color of a basketball.

-They decided to find out the gender of the baby and Kagami leaped for joy when he found out it was a boy

-He bought even more b-ball stuff for his little boy

-He cooked his wife anything she wanted. The late night grilled cheeses tempted him so he gained some weight with his wife

-Closer to his wife’s due date he was constantly awakened by her with false alarms this went on for 2 weeks

-He needed some time to himself so he played some ball with his old Seirin members. His wife went into labor as he was on his way home.

-He hollered into the phone when he got the call. He was so frantic while his wife watched him and laughed until a contraction hit

-He refused to meet his baby funky from playing b-ball so he showered but he almost ran out the house in only his towel

-His wife had to call him back into the house and promise not to have the baby on the kitchen floor

-He dressed and rushed his wife to the hospital. In the car he screamed with her whenever she had a contraction.

-He stayed with his wife the entire 19 hours. He tried to nap but her surprised yelps and groans of birthing pain brought him back to reality

-After hours of waiting his wife was finally ready to push and bring their baby into the world

-He had his hand bandaged after the delivery. He was proud of his wife for the flawless delivery and giving him a hairline fracture

-The tiny cry made the couple eyes tear up. Their little son was finally here and healthy as can be.

And she's locked up in her room crying into her pillow. Her heart is racing with the mistakes that circulate her arteries. And she messed up, And she knows it (and I use 'and' too much) Regardless she rolls over and slams her palms against her temple. Mom and dad are standing at the door in silence. Their eyes convey it all, to let her cry it out?  Or step in with parental wisdom?

Mom walks away tossing her hands up. Dad sighs and listens to the sobs clash against the locked door.

He makes knocks, and she lets him in. She asks what he wants. And he walks into her room and sits at the end of her bed. He says, "Talk." And his only daughter tells him, about the ex-boyfriend, and how she cheated on him, and how it was mistake. And she cries for the boy she thinks she loved. And Daddy hold her close, and nostalgia floods his eyes. And he tells her a story; // "Sweetie, it happens. As people we cannot deny what we want, nor what we feel. But suffering is something you want to be brief. Heartbreak is like being stranded in a desert with a single canteen of water (hope) to get you through. But in all honesty sweetie. It doesn't have to be so painful. You can ration your water futilely and suffer while you survive. Or let the sands take you. Drink all your water and find peace in your circumstance. The latter my dear is entirely more awakening. If it's love, if it's true, you've got no reason to cry. If it's love it will never die." And her tears stopped mid-way through, and here's what she had to say, "How do you know?...."

And daddy leaned in resting his hand at the square of her back, resting his chin on her shoulder. "You never know. Don't confuse what you think with what you feel. What do you think you feel?" Daddy said. "I feel... I don't know." she said.

Daddy kissed her forehead and let her sleep, and let his words slip into her heart. And at the start of the next morning, she was all smiles and happiness. And Mom asked what Dad had said to swing her mood around. and Daddy said,
