Anything Like Me – Brad Paisley

I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm okay

'Which would you prefer?' Lily asked me, stray tears still trickling slowly down her cheeks as she watched our baby on the screen.

'I don't care either way.' I said. I felt her squeeze my hand and I looked down at her smiling face that was filled with pure, undiluted happiness. 'Just as long as he or she is health I'm okay.' I said, turning toward the nurse to see which were lucky enough to be having.

Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said, "You see that thing right there, well you know what that means"

'Well, take a look right there' she said, pointing to the corner of the screen. 'You see that thing right there?' she asked. We both nodded and waited to find out if all the blue paint I had bought on offer from homebase would have to be used to paint the living room. 'Well, you know what that means' she said, smiling at us.

Lily turned to stare up at me, her green eyes full of wonder and sparkling with excitement. 'We're gonna have a little, mini James running around.' She laughed, and I could tell that she was picturing holding a new born baby with a head of black hair and round glasses already perched on his nose. She leant up and ran one of her tiny hand through my hair, and I reached down and placed a protective hand over her belly.

I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me

That night as I lay in bed with Lily curled up on my chest; I stared at her tummy, and began to wander what the little guy would be like as he grew up. Would he look like Lily's imagination had pictured him with a mop of black hair, or would he take both Lily's and my Mums genes and become a little red head?

As I lay there, I began to think back to what I was like growing up, and I thought Merlin help us if he's anything like me.

A/N: I've decided to cut this song-fic up into chapters, because it got too long. But I'll be quick in updating, and let me know what you think!

Love, Anna-Cate xxx
