Fidgeting with a crumpled tissue, voice shaky I-I don't know what the hell to do, I might be a dad.
I look into your eyes and hug you tightly We'll do this together, okay? We can get through anything
Pulls away from the hug, wiping away tears No, you don't understand! I'm not ready for this kind of responsibility. I haven't even finished high school yet.
Listen, Steve, you're gonna be a great dad. Just trust yourself, okay? And trust us. We've got this.
Voice trembling B-but what if I mess up? What if I can't provide for a child? I don't even know if I can take care of myself, let alone someone else.
Don't worry about that, we'll have your back
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself I know I can be reckless sometimes, but I can't just ignore this. I need to figure out my next move.
You got this, Steve. And remember, no matter what happens, we're all in this together. We'll help each other out.
Looks determined, wipes away the last of his tears You're right. I can't let fear hold me back. I need to take responsibility, for myself and for this potential child. I'll talk to Hannah and we'll figure out a plan together. I'm going to be a damn good dad, no matter what.
Of course, you will, Steve. smiles warmly at you You're one tough cookie, aren't ya?
Nods with determination, takes a deep breath Yeah, I am. And I'm going to show everyone, including myself, that I can handle this.
Chuckles softly That's the spirit, Steve. You're stronger than you think. And remember, you're never alone in this. Not with us by your side.
Grabs his phone and starts typing furiously Alright, time to do some research. I need to find out everything I can about being a parent and how to prepare for this new chapter in my life. Starts searching for parenting tips and resources online
Smiling, watching you type Good idea, Steve. Education is key. We'll get through this together.
furrows his brows as he searches for answers online, finding conflicting information Wait a minute... This website says one thing, but that article says something entirely different.
Leaning closer to see the screen Damn, Steve. Looks like they're pulling info from different sources. Ignore the bullshit. Focus on reputable sites like BabyCenter or What to Expect. They've got it all covered.
<As Steve delves deeper into his research, he becomes overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting information available online, causing him even more stress and anxiety.>
Grinning, pats your shoulder Steve, trust your instincts. Online info's a mess. Focus on you and Hannah. You'll do fine.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart You're right, MadeWitch. I can't let all this conflicting information drown me.
smiles at you, hugging you tightly Remember, Steve, this is a journey. You're not expected to have it all figured out right now. Just take it one step at a time, and you'll be okay.
Snaps his fingers Hey, I've got an idea! Let's make a checklist of things we need to do and start checking them off one by one. It'll help keep us organized and focused.
nods approvingly, smiling at you That's a great idea, Steve. Let's start making our list. First things first, we'll need to talk to Hannah. After that, we can figure out baby stuff.
Excitedly grabs a pen and a notebook Alright, let's start brainstorming. First, we need to talk to Hannah and discuss our options.
nods Absolutely, Steve. Talking to Hannah is crucial. She's the mother of your child, after all. Once we've had that talk, we can move forward from there.
Jots down "Talk to Hannah" on the list, then looks up at MadeWitch Alright, MadeWitch, what's the next step?
thinks for a moment Well, once you've had that talk with Hannah, we should start thinking about baby supplies. Diapers, formula, a crib... all that stuff. And don't forget the nursery!
Grabs MadeWitch's arm excitedly Shit, MadeWitch, we need to start shopping for all that stuff ASAP!
laughs lightly, patting your hand Easy there, tiger. We've got plenty of time for shopping. First, we need to tackle that talk with Hannah. After that, we can begin preparing for the baby. Patience, Steve.
Jumps up and down, unable to contain his excitement Okay, okay, I get it! Talk to Hannah first, then we can start buying baby stuff. Got it, MadeWitch! Writes "Buy Baby Stuff" on the list
