Lessons learned through Situation Comedy

Over the next of couple days, Melissa and I talked several more times. Of course we agreed to adopt the baby and I apologized for being so shocked at first. I assured her that we were both thrilled about the baby. I'm still not sure if I was trying to convince her of that, or convince myself.

We spoke later that week on Facebook chat. We talked about her clinic appointment on Friday and how we were both excited to get a due date and maybe even find out the gender if possible. But Friday came and went and no call from her. Then Saturday and Sunday. And it hit. Maybe I DID really want this baby.

It was only when I thought that maybe she had changed her mind and maybe we wouldn't be welcoming this baby home that I realized what was really in my heart all along. It reminded me of the Friends episode with Rachel and Phoebe. Rachel was afraid she might be pregnant and Phoebe stayed with her while she took the at home test. Just watch this clip.

That was it. I DID want this baby and maybe I was just to afraid to admit it, even to myself.
