Ch12
I laid down next to my father in his bed and got underneath the covers. Thunder boomed, and I slid closer to him, my head on his chest. He said you know I haven't been this close to somebody in a long time. I looked up at him and said I'll get off if you want. He looked down at me and said no no this feels pretty nice. He stroked my hair, and I was having a flashback to something that happened like this about 6 years ago. Well, 6 years ago, my time.
It was June of 1979. I just turned 11 that past March. Hill Valley was having another one of their lightning storms that night. It was late at night and even though I had Einie with me, I still couldn't sleep. Part of it was because of the storm, but there was another part. Something new was going to happen in my life, and my father was going to have a very tough time dealing with it.
The thunder kept getting louder and I couldn't take it anymore. I ran into my fathers room with Einstein and I leaped underneath the covers. My father opened is eyes and said Gina? Sweetheart? Whats wrong? I don't like the thunder Daddy. I put my head on his chest and he gently stroked my hair. He said you know thunder cant hurt you. I know its just so loud. He wrapped his arms around me and wouldn't let me go. Daddy? Yes baby? Tell me about when I was born?
It was March 13th, 1968. It was cold that day, the coldest California has ever seen. It actually even started to snow a little. As the snow begin to fall heavier, your mother started to have contractions. They were pretty strong too, since we know you were so stubborn to come out of there, he said smiling at me. They were coming so fast, that we didn't even have time to get to the hospital. We tried calling for an ambulance but it would be awhile before they could even get to the house because of the weather. I had to deliver you myself. Your mother was screaming because we didn't have drugs to give her. Not too much longer later, I was holding you in my arms, and I didn't want to let you go, just like I don't want to now. He tightened his arms around me. I looked up at him and said I love you daddy. He kissed my forehead and said I love you too sweetie. Try to get some sleep.
I awoke the next morning in my fathers arms. Something wasn't feeling right. I was feeling very crampy. I got up and went to the bathroom and that's when I saw it. My "friend." Oh my God. I couldn't believe I actually got it. I knew Daddy wasn't going to take it well. After all, I still his little girl to him, and its not going to be easy to tell your father something like this. Good thing I already had this talk with Mrs. McFly. She gave me everything I needed and let me know what I needed to do. She was a lifesaver.
I cleaned up and sat on my bed with Einey. Einey? What am I going to do boy? How can I tell Dad something like this? Einstein just looked at me and licked my face. I know Einey I love you too. My father walked in and said you want some breakfast? How about some eggs, bacon and toast? Sounds great.
I walked downstairs and my father was getting everything ready. Daddy? Yes? Can we talk for a minute? Ofcourse. We sat down at the table and he took my hand. Whats the matter honey? I took a deep breath and said Daddy, this morning.I got my..my..I couldn't even say it. The color drained from his face and I knew he knew. I looked down embarrassed. He lifted up my chin, and I could see tears in his eyes, as they slowly started to swim down his cheeks, and my heart began to melt. I gave him a hug and said Daddy, please don't cry. I cant help it Gina. Youre not my little girl anymore. You are becoming a woman. Pretty soon you wont need me anymore. Tears slid down my own cheeks and he gently wiped them away. I said Daddy, no matte what, I will always be your little girl I promise you, and I will ALWAYS need you. I just love you so much Gina. I know Daddy. I love you too. We hugged.
