Everything is Gonna Be Okay - Drake Bell
"Are you scared?" Drake asked Mindy one night as they snuggled up to each other deep within the covers.
"Of what?" she asked, feeling Drake's hand slide onto her pregnant stomach and knowing what the answer was.
"You know, the baby." He sighed. "What if it's a girl?"
Mindy smiled and placed her hand on top of Drake's. "Well, there's a good chance it will be. Just like there's a good chance it'll be a boy."
That caused him to smile as he kissed Mindy's forehead gently. "I know, but I wouldn't be any good with a girl." Truth be told, he was scared that later in life his daughter would find someone like him. He had no trouble admitting that in his younger days he was a womanizer who lived life on the edge. The thought of his little girl falling in love with a musician who lived life fast and hard petrified him. "I want a boy."
"It doesn't matter what either of us want," Mindy said a-matter-of-factly. "That's up to nature."
It annoyed Drake that Mindy had an intellectual outlook on everything, but at the same time he found it incredibly endearing. "Don't you want one or the other, though?" He rubbed Mindy's stomach softly.
She shook her head with a shrug. "I just want a healthy baby. That's really all you can ask for." She looked at Drake, seeing that his brown eyes were clouded with fear. She'd never seen him look so worried. "What brought this up, though? I'm not due for another four months!"
"I know," Drake replied in a small tone. "I just got thinking, and I got scared."
Mindy stroked Drake's cheek lightly and planted a kiss on his lips. "You'll be an amazing dad. That you most definitely don't have to worry about. Our baby will be so lucky to have you."
A grin spread across Drake's face as he felt a light prick against the palm of his hand. "Was that a kick?"
Mindy nodded, knowing that Drake's smile matched her own. "See? Even the baby agrees. You've got nothing to worry about, Drake."
