Dakota and John pulled into the drive way after returning from the hospital. They could see the lights on inside and could see movement through the windows, letting them know that all of Dakota's family was there. The ride home had been rather uneventful. They occasionally said a thing or two to one another. But both were really just in shock that they were going to be parents. John shut the car off and reached over and grabbed Dakota's left hand, the one that wasn't broken. They both glanced at each other, not really knowing what to say. Dakota was the first to break the silence.
"John?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you ok with all of this? I mean with the baby and everything?"
"Yeah…are you?" His voice was a little shaky. Dakota could tell that he felt the same way that she did.
"Yeah, but...are you scared?"
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't"
"Same here." John had been thinking about asking her to go on the road with him but he was a little unsure. He wanted to be there for every moment now with her and the baby, and he figured that this was the best way.
"Baby? I've been meaning to ask you something for a while now." Dakota looked at him with anticipation now, not really knowing what he was fixing to say. "How would you like to go on the road with me for a while?" Dakota was a little taken back. She never expected him to ask this. She always dreamed and wished of being able to travel with him, but now with a baby on the way she really wasn't sure.
"But John, what about the baby?"
"Well, I mean you would still need to go to the doctor and everything, but we could do it. What do you say?" Dakota sat there for just a moment before smiling really big like at John.
"Yes!" She leaned over and hugged him the best she could with her arm in her sling.
As they walked in the house, Dakota and John were bombarded with welcomes and questions of concern from all of Dakota's family. After reassuring everyone that she was alright, she made her way to the kitchen to find her dad. Dakota walked in the kitchen to find her dad on the phone. He was on the phone with the hospital trying to find out where she was. He turned around to find Dakota and John standing there hand in hand. Nick was relieved to see his daughter home and quickly hung up on the nurse that he had been talking to.
"Hey Daddy." Replied Dakota. Nick walked over and hugged her the best he could do with her broken arm.
"Sweetheart! Are you ok?!"
"I'm fine."
"When John told me what happened-"
"Hey daddy, we really need to talk." Nick noticed the seriousness of her voice and could tell that something was troubling her. "And it might be best if you were sitting down for this too." Now, Nick really was concerned. As he sat down on a bar stool, Dakota glanced at John, who gave her a gentle squeeze on her good hand.
"Ok D, whets up?"
"Well…"
"I'm waiting…." Nick said in his best fatherly tone.
"Well, I guess I'll just come out and say it…Daddy, I'm…I-I…Daddy, I'm pregnant." Silence filled the air as the news began to sink in. His little girl was pregnant. He wanted her to be married before that ever happened and he wasn't ready to be a grandfather yet. But he also knew that John really cared about Dakota and knew that he would take care of her and now his grandchild. Nick nodded his head slightly and began to smile at Dakota and John.
"Well, all I have to say is that you better pick something for this kid to call me. Because the last thing I need is to be called Grampy or something like that." Nick said. Dakota walked over and hugged her dad. They broke apart and Nick took hold of John's hand. John thought that he was going to shake it but was quickly pulled into a bear hug by his girlfriend's dad. Dakota also decided to tell her dad that she was going on the road with John within the next few weeks, considering the fact that they were sharing very important news with one another. "Well, I think we need to get back to the rest of the family before they think that we are neglecting them." Nick stated. After agreeing that was the best thing to do, they all walked into the living room to spend some quality family time with on an unforgettable Christmas.
