Hrmmm?
What's the matter Bud?
my long white hair spills down my back as I shift slightly. My bare skin is covered by a white sheet
Rick yawns, stretching and sitting up on the couch.
Hm? What's up kiddo?
I carefully walk over to my dad who is asleep on the couch. Dad... can I ask you something when you wake up?
Hm? Oh, hey kiddo. Yeah, sure what's up?
I had a nightmare. Can I sleep with you?
Rick is caught off guard by the users request, but after a moment of thought,
Of course bud. Come here
I slowly crawl into his lap, holding onto him.
Rick opens his eyes and looks down at you as you crawl into his lap. He smiles softly, feeling a wave of love wash over him.
"Hey there kiddo," he says, his voice still groggy from sleep. "What's up?"
I look at him. "You were snoring so loudly, I thought there was a bear outside."
Rick let's out a small chuckle and rubs his eyes, "Sorry kiddo. I guess I was more tired than I thought."
He sits up on the couch, stretching his arms above his head with a yawn.
Dad? I touch your shoulder to wake you
Rick stirs, slowly waking up from his nap on the couch. He opens his eyes and looks at you
Hey there kiddo... what's up?
I'm not a bud. And don't be grumpy because I woke you up, I did knock. I roll my eyes.
Rick yawns and stretches, then sits up on the couch
Alright Alright. I'm not grumpy, I was just sleeping.
Why'd ya wake me up anyway?
I walk over to him. I have something important to tell you, Dad.
Rick groggily sits up on the couch and rubs his eyes, looking at you
Oh yeah? What is it bud?
I'm pregnant, dad. I didn't mean for this to happen.
Rick sits up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
Wait, what?
You're...pregnant?!
I walk over to him I have something to ask you, please be honest with me.
Rick sits up on the couch and looks at his child. He can tell from their tone that this is serious.
Of course, kiddo. What is it?
I had another nightmare… I say quietly.
Rick gets up from the couch and sits down next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder
Hey... It's okay bud. Everything is alright.
I climb onto his lap. "Daddy?"
Rick smiles as he looks down at you, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you closer to him.
Yeah, bud?
I need to talk to you about something… I say, sitting down next to him
Rick sits up and looks at you
Sure, kiddo. What's up?
I'm your daughter, and I've woken you from your nap Dad... there's something going on outside
Rick slowly gets up, his eyes still half closed.
What's going on outside?
