Almost Unbreakable
The Search
The door slammed in my face and I fell to my knees. I can't believe that just happened. I felt a soft paw on my back and turned my head to see Riot. I laid back and picked her up so she sat on my chest. Crow came over seconds later and I smiled, scratching under his chin.
I closed my eyes and felt tears pricked to them. I'm going to be a dad. I will have a little girl or boy that I can hold. That will be the perfect blend of me and the women I love most in this world. I sighed.
The women who just stormed out of our apartment because I proposed to her. I stood up and grabbed my keys. What was I doing? I have to go find her! My child and my future wife.
I ran down to my car to see that she hadn't even left yet. She was just sitting in her Volkswagen, gripping the steering and sobbing. I opened the door and sat in the passengers side.
I stared at her and finally she looked up at me. She didn't say anything, just kept crying and moved so she clutched on to me. I held her as she cried and kissed her head, rocking her back and forth.
"I-I don't want to ever be apart from you, but if I have to s-stay at home with a baby, we'll have to be." She sobbed, gripping me incredibly tight. I rubbed her back.
"Shh." I said, dipping down to kiss behind her ear. "It's okay. We're going to be okay, I promise. We'll figure something out."
"Like what!?" She said, crying so hard now she was hiccuping. "We can't just leave our child with a baby sitter for months at a time. Touring for me is over before it could even start! I can't do it because now we're having a god damn baby. The only time we'll be together is when your home."
"Hey, I'm home a lot! Don't worry, baby, everything is going to be fine." I whispered.
"I d-don't want to b-be a mom." She said, letting out a huge sob. "I'm so scared."
"We're going to get through this. Then we'll have a perfect little creation together." I said, holding her tightly. "I will never leave your side, alright? You can bring the baby with us or-"
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound?" She shook her head, "You can't bring a baby on the fucking road." I sighed, shakily, knowing she was right. "What do we do?"
"Look, Daisy, I know you don't want to talk about this but adoption is always and option. We might not be able to give this child the best home. What with the touring thing and all. Plus, were both super busy. A baby isn't going to help that." I said, wiping her tears away.
"But everyone would know, Andy! They would still see that I'm pregnant, and that your the father! We're both famous now. We can't hide it from the fans." I shook my head.
"You know what, Daisy? No. Your not going to stop touring with me. When that baby is born we'll sleep in the back lounge with a crib. We can take care of it! When I'm playing, you stay in the bus so we don't hurt it's ears. That baby will tour with us because you'll tour with us. That's final." I said, pressing my lips to her forehead. She sighed.
"Whatever." She buried her face in my chest. "Andy?"
"Yes?"
"I want to get married too."
Is it bad that I cried? I can't believe that it's over. This was such an amazing story.
