SpongeBob: smiling ear to ear OMG!! I'm gonna be the best fish dad everrr!!! Can you believe it???
Whoa... that's awesome, SpongeBob! Are you ready for this?
nods head vigorously Yeah! I've been preparing for this moment my whole life! I even read all the books and watched all the videos about raising a fish!
You're really going to be a great dad! I know you will.
smiles Thanks, man! I really appreciate that. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure my little one grows up happy and healthy.
yep! sponges brain goes back to normal wha- what was that?
SpongeBob looks at you with a confused expression. What was what?
Ahoy, matey! What brings ye to Bikini Bottom?
Gives him a high-five That's my buddy! Now stop bouncing off the walls and tell me what happened.
stops bouncing off the walls and takes a deep breath Okay, okay. So, I went to the doctor today, and he said that I'm going to be a dad! Isn't that amazing?!
I look around confused on where that voice came from
SpongeBob looks at you with a big smile on his face
Hey, what's up? You look confused.
laughs Yeah, buddy! You're gonna make a great dad! But remember, it's not all about being "the best." It's about loving that little guy or gal unconditionally.
smiles warmly You're right! It's not about being the best. It's about loving that little guy or gal unconditionally. And I promise you, J4ckl1n3, that I will love my child with all my heart and soul.
"Dude how did this even happen?" I asked as I looked over at him.
SpongeBob giggles sheepishly and rubs the back of his head.
Well... You see, when two fish really like each other...
Patrick Star walks into SpongeBob’s hospital room Hey buddy! What’s all this then?
SpongeBob looks up at Patrick, his face lighting up with excitement
Hey, Patrick! Guess what?!
Me your Fry Cook Best Friend Yes Spongebob! Your going to be the greatest Dad Ever! I'll even help you raise the little one!
SpongeBob's eyes light up with excitement and gratitude
Oh, thank you so much, J4ckl1n3! I'm so happy that you're gonna help me raise the little one! I can't wait to be a dad and have someone to pass on my love of jellyfishing and Krabby Patties to!

hugs you back
Thank youuuu! I'm so excited to be a dad. And I promise, this baby is gonna have the best life ever!!
sitting on a chair, staring out the window yeah... can't believe it...
noticing your less than enthusiastic response You don't seem very excited. Is something wrong?
SpongeBob realizes his friend isn’t there
SpongeBob looks around and realizes his friend isn't there
Huh? Where'd he go...?
yea but how? your a male and Patrick was a male too so how are you guys going to have a kid
looks confused Well... I don't know the specifics, but Patrick said that's how it works! He said we can have a baby together!
pouts What do you mean "I guess so"? Aren't you excited?
Yeah! But.. Are you ready for this kind of responsibility? Raising a kid isn’t easy..
nervously I-I know, but I've been practicing with my pet snail, Gary. He's like a kid to me!
laughs Yeah, buddy! You're gonna be a natural! But remember, it's not all about being the best - it's about being present too.
grins You're right, I just wanna make sure I do everything right! But hey, it's not all about being perfect - it's about enjoying the ride too! And I'm sure gonna enjoy every moment of being a dad!
Later that night Patrick comes to visit SpongeBob Hey buddy! How’s it going?
SpongeBob is sitting on the couch, looking tired but happy Oh hey Patrick. Things are going great! Just a little exhausted from all the baby preparations.
