Thoughts about fatherhood
I do not own Indiana Jones or Mutt or Marion. They are all owned by other people who are not me.
Summay: Indy thinks about fatherhood. This is a what if Indiana and Marion decided to get married when they were suppose to instead of years later.
10:00-Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr., was sitting on a hard bench waiting for news. While he was waiting, he was very deep in thought. He was contemplating his next
adventure, fatherhood. He could not believe that soon he was going to be holding a baby. His baby. His and Marion's baby.
10:25-As he sat there thinking he smiled to himself at the memory that was creeping across his mind. He had just gotten back from a long day of teaching; him
and Marion had only been married for two weeks and could not take a honeymoon just yet because of school, when a very excited Marion met him. "Marion, what is
it?" Indy asked with worry in his voice because not only was Marion excited and smiling, but she had tears in her eyes. "Indy, I'm …I mean we're going to have a …"
Marion trailed off to excited to speak. "We're going to have a what? A yard sale? A dinner to go to? Come on Marion tell me because I don't think you would be all
this excited about a yard sale or a dinner." As she looked into his eyes she finally said what she had been trying to say all along "We're going to have a baby."
Indiana was so shocked and excited that he just wrapped his arms around Marion and held until the phone interrupted them.
10:45- As he was sitting there thoughts about the near future were racing through his mind. Would he be a good father or a bad one? Will he be able to teach
his kid everything he knows? These were thoughts that could not be answered anytime soon, so he let it go to the back of his mind instead of the front. Still he could
not believe that he was going to be someone's father. Throughout his lifetime, he had been Indiana Jones the son, Indiana Jones the professor, Indiana Jones the
adventurer, and then Indiana Jones the husband. Now he would be known as Indiana Jones the father. He would be responsible for another human being. He
smiled to himself when he knew he would be there for this kids first word, first step, first middle of the night feeding, and plenty of other firsts. However, not only
would he be around for the first but also the seconds, thirds, and fourths as well.
He and Marion would be in for a treat when it came to raising this kid. He or she would have the finest education and would most likely be spoiled to death. And
although he was very excited, he was also very scared, even though he would never admit this Marion. What if he messed up? What if his kid hated him? Or worse,
what if he turns into his own father? However, these thoughts were not as scary as the one he had been thinking of since the day Marion announced she was
pregnant. What if his past catches up with him? What if in order to get to him, they go through his wife and child. Hopefully he would never have to find out. Besides
Marion just keeps telling him that all they can do is their best.
11:13- He also wondered what kind of person this kid would be when he or she gets older. Will he or she be adventurous? Will he or she be interested in
history? Or will this child be very rebellious and not listen to anything that Indy and Marion say. Whatever this child grew up to be Indy knew he was going to love
him or her no matter what.
11:20- After what seemed like hours, at least to Indy he decided to get up and see what was taking so long. However, he stopped when he saw the doctor
coming towards him with a tiny baby in his arms. "Dr. Jones, I believe your son would like to meet you." The doctor then handed over the baby to his father who had
tears in his eyes. "I have a son" Indy said to himself as the doctor assured him that Marion was resting and that he could go in and see her soon. When the doctor
left, Indy looked at his son and said, "Welcome to the world kid it's quite an adventure and you will definitely enjoy the ride." He then kissed his son, who would one
day be known as Mutt, and then walked to check on Marion.
