Sounded Silence

Major Change Of Heart

Matt's POV

Paula kept telling me life for her and PJ was so sudden nowadays. I mean, there's not a whole lot that we can do for it, but, who knows.

"I'm glad that someone else is here for us," Paula sighed while staring at her stomach, "I haven't had the heart to tell PJ this, but...I feel a bit too young to be a mother."

"Really?" I sounded a bit unconvinced, "remind me how old you are again?"

"I'm 28."

"And how old is PJ? Do you feel he's 'too young' to be a father?"

"PJ is 26, I believe, but...this affects me more, y'know? You're a guy...you wouldn't understand."

Almost 30 years old? That's...that's not terribly young at all. For PJ, maybe, but Paula has nothing to worry about! My mother was almost 40 when I was six, so it's honestly your call. But I'm no expert.

"You're not too young!" I come back to Earth, "if anything, your kind of in that in-between gray area."

"You think so?" Paula slightly smiles.

"Besides," I pull up her Club Fun hoodie and orange shirt, "the baby bump looks kinda cute on you."

Paula lightly slaps me on the shoulder, then blushes pretty hard.
