Fatherhood

"He adopted a role called being a father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a protector."

— Tom Wolfe

I woke up by a loud knocked in the front door, Jean has already wake up, she no longer at the bed. I went down and reach the end of the stair case before a man hug me and picked me up "Cassidy!" It was the Major, Hardy Lee, Jean's dad. He let me down, and Jean lead us to the table to have breakfast. But before i go to my seat i come to her an kissed her in the cheek "happy birthday love!" She pat twice in my shoulder an asked me to take a seat.

"So Cass what's your plan?" The major asked me while shoving food into his mouth.

"You take the words out of my mind sir! Jean when is your due date?" I asked Jean.

"About 16 days, but the midwife is not to sure, the prediction may be off by a week less or a week more." She answered.

"Then i have to go to find a vial of high grade zero nites first!" I said.
