"How long has he been out there?" Alyssa asked as we watched Netflix on my couch.
"Since this morning-the moment he got off those crutches he asked for a hoop and a basketball and that's literally all he does-I'm out of breath just watching." I chuckled.
"same, no wonder he's built like that at what—16?"
I nodded and she shook her head.
"Well," she started shifting Indian style, "how's it been being a dad for a week." She asked.
"Okay for one let's not use the 'D' word, I feel old." I shook my head.
"That's literally what you are," she chuckled.
"Okay but you still don't have to say it."
"What are you gonna do when he says it?" She asked.
I honestly hadn't thought about that, I didn't expect him to do it to be fair.
"He probably won't-like you just said he's 16, it's not like I'm raising him from birth." I retorted.
"Okay but you're still raising him-at some point he'll call you dad." She shrugged, "especially since you said he's never really had one.
I shook my head at the thought before changing the subject.
"So what is it you had to tell me-what's the big announcement?" I asked with anticipation.
"Welllllll," she led on.
"I'm pregnant!!" She yelled.
My mouth dropped immediately as I looked at her.
"Dude really!" I laughed as I pulled her into a hug.
"Yeah-Kelvin and I were going pretty strong when you were gone. The pregnancy wasn't planned but he was so excited, which in turn made me even more excited," she revealed.
"That's amazing Alyssa-honestly." I said happily.
"Damn all this talk about me being a dad and you're about to be a mom." I laughed.
Our Conversation was cut short when Javier entered the house.
"Uh is it okay if I go to the court down the street?" He asked timidly.
"Sure-just be back before it gets too dark," I nodded.
