Colin strolled out of the shower as he went for some clean clothes.... and by stroll, I mean wobble out in a strange gunslinger walk. His first time left him aching as he carefully dried off his junk. After he finished drying off, he slipped into the heart patterned boxers, the cargo shorts, and the plain black t-shirt.
He looked at the clock and realized it was twelve in the afternoon.
"Gee, did it really take that much out of me?" Colin said to nobody in particular.
He groaned and strolled out into the hall, where he ran into Jack.
"Well look who decided to get up." the old man said.
Colin rubbed his eyes as he walked to the kitchen and to the fridge, Jack in tow.
"How's it feel being in the top spot?Everyone else had to go on a raid!" Jack cheered.
"Alright..." Colin drowsily said as he pulled out a piece of leftover pizza.
"Alright?" Jack asked, "You should feel great!"
"Look, I never really had plans for a relationship", Colin said as he chomped down on some half week old meat lover's pizza, "much less a kid."
Jack paused.
"Not trying to back out of the deal... It's just: I don't even know if I can be a good father!" Colin said, messily spewing pepperoni, sausage, and bacon chunks as he yelled.
"Sorry, I'm just... scared I'll screw up and the kid will be screwed up to."
Jack set a hand on his shoulder, "Look boy, I was in your position once."
Colin nodded.
"Starting a family ain't easy, I'll tell you that. Keeping one together takes some man power on your part. But in the end, it makes the memories you an' your kids make together all the more worthwhile." the old man said as he gestured to photos of vacation and schools' past, the kids within looking rather happy.
Colin paused as he swallowed.
"That help?" Jack asked.
"A little bit, yeah." Colin grinned.
Strawberry came in.
"Hey sweetie, sleep good?" she asked.
"Yeah..." Colin said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"So... why don't we go over baby names?" the blonde asked.
Colin smiled, saying "I'd like that. In fact, I think I have two in mind, one for a boy, one for a girl..."
" Well 'kay, what are they?" Strawberry asked.
Colin smiled and said....
