Title" There Goes my Life

All he could think about was I'm too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I'm just a kid myself.
How am I gonna raise one.

He was stunned. What more could he say? He just received some news that he could not fathom. How did it happen? When did it happen and more importantly, what was he going to do? Looking at his girlfriend, located in front of him, he could see the tracks that the tears left on her delicate skin. They were both still in High School, both wanting to go to College and get careers that would probably separate them anyway, but now this. Just looking at her all broken, tears marring her face, lip quivering and the way she wrapped her arms around herself. He knew for a fact that she was keeping the little life inside of her. Their baby.

All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.

He always dreamed about graduating from High School, going to the coast of Florida and, maybe, get a job down there after College. Now, he has to stay in this place because he knows for a fact that his girlfriend will not be raising this baby alone. He wants to be there for both of them. The harder that he thinks about it though, he wonders what his life would be like with a child. What would happen when this baby is born? What about his life?

And he said,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
Might as well kiss it all good-bye.
There goes my life...

He left her to think about the future that he wanted. He knew that he wanted to stay with her, but can he be with her and the baby? Can he take care of a child? Could they make it? Swiping his hand through his hair, he looked up to the sky and prayed. He prayed for everything and anything, just so that he can make it through this life as a father.

"There goes my life..." he said to the air, before turning around and walking back to his crying girlfriend.

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.
Oh yeah...he loves that little girl.

He watches as his wife carried their daughter around the kitchen, happily. She is the spitting image of her mother and thinks back all those years and is happy that he made the choice to stay. He watches as she gently pulls on her mother's long blonde hair, giggling as she did. His wife just smiles at their daughter as she opens the refrigerator. All the pictures that they collected over the years-dating back to Calleigh's pregnancy- litters the magnetic box. Their daughter a star among the thing.

"Your daddy's home, Pumpkin'" she tells their daughter, watching as she places her on the floor and she quickly, but with much effort, rushes to him.

"Daddy!"

Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls.

"Olivia! Pumpkin', bed time!" yells Calleigh from the upstairs room, waiting for their daughter to come up the stairs.

As I place her at the edge of the stairs, she waits as I reach behind my back and produce her bear, a brown one that she was given before she was born. She now carries this helpless thing around with her. Everywhere. She places a light kiss on my cheek and turns, crawling up the short amount of steps towards her mother, her curls lightly bouncing with every step that she crawls. The little diaper clad girl, the love of my life.

He smiles...
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.

"Ni,Ni, Daddy!" Olivia yells back before she crawls that last step to her mother's arms, waiting for my reply.

"Night, baby" I lightly yell back, "Love you!"

"Lob wo too!"

I look and hear her giggle as she squeezes Calleigh's neck, both leaving the edge of the steps and out of view. I look at the now empty space, where they once stood and pray. Pray for her to grow-up in a loving home and everything and anything else that comes towards her. I let out a breath of air. I love that little girl.

"There goes my life..." I say in a whisper, slowly rising and heading up those stairs that my daughter crawled previously.

She had that Honda loaded down.
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said your good to go.
She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast.

I look once again at the car engine, making sure that all is intact. I just can't believe that she is going away this year. He was stunned. What more could he say? He just received some news that he could not fathom. How did it happen? When did it happen and more importantly, what was he going to do?

His daughter was going to College. She was leaving her family for a few years. She was growing up and he could do nothing about it. His blue eyed, baby girl was now a woman. Wiping away the tears that were about to be shed, he closed the hood and turned to walk back into the house, where his wife and daughter were in.

He came through the threshold in time to see Olivia give her mother a hug before turning to him. He handed her the keys to the car and smiled at her, before he too gave her a hug. He also made sure that she had his debit card with her before watching as she walked out the door.

Both parents watched as the door closed behind her. Both praying that she made it safe to her destination. Horatio walked to the window and watched as Olivia started the car, but stayed still. He watched as she looked once again at the house and smiled.

Olivia looked at her parents' house-her home-smiling before she placed the picture of her parents on her dash. Putting the car in drive, she rolled out of the driveway and onto the road. She was heading to College.

And he cried,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you.
Baby good-bye.

"Horatio, there went our life.."

Sorry for the long wait on my stories. My laptop crashed again and I had ALL my stories already written, but on said laptop! Now I have to wait to get the stupid thing fixed before I can post anymore stories.
