Jovarrus Stegall Poet Dramatic Verse

Mistake of a Lifetime...Part 4

Well, at least it wasn't another hard fall. 

But when she said we were having two kids, it made my skin crawl. 

I mean, it's been so long since I've seen her, 

and we only had sex ONCE, so in my opinion, there's no way this could occur. 

But it happened anyway, 

and there's nothing I can do to make this go away. 

Finally, we pull up to my parents' house and then I hear a sound. 

A sound that made my world spin all the way around. 

Her water had finally broke and I didn't know what to do at all. 

And that's when she screamed," TAKE ME TO THE DAMN HOSPITAL!!!!". 

So we rushed back into the car and we took off 

while her skin is turning red and she's doing a dramatic cough. 

I was so scared out of my mind. 

I didn't even know if we were going to make it in time. 

But there were bigger problems than that. 

I didn't have the fatherly thing down pat. 

But I have realized what I have to do. 

I have to be there for my new family, especially newborn two. 

I have to take more responsibilities than ever in my life. 

I've been in the fantasy world for so long, it's like reality came out of nowhere and stabbed 
me with a knife. 

Finally, we pull up to the hospital and all my realizing was done, 

next thing you know, here comes baby number one... 

...(To be continued)...
