Forgive me for just jumping into this but thats how it happened to me. *sigh* I am way too young for this. I never thought I'd say that and mean it so much. I don't know what to think... My love is going to be a father. But not with me. How am I supposed to feel? I'm not going to leave him. He says he has no intention of leaving me. I can't be angry at him. But... if we're together and he has a child... I'm some sort of secondary mother-ish figure? The baby HAS a mother, now it has a father... I'm just daddy's girlfriend. Not really a normal role in a child's life, definately not a nessecary one. I'm really, REALLY frightened.... But, I have to be "strong". Goat's under alot of stress (obviously) and I'm going to be here for him. I just don't know what to tell him... Once the baby is born I think we'll allbe fine. He's going to love his child and he'll be a wonderful father. That's just how it is when you have children... I'm going to love the baby too, even though it isn't mine. I know I will. I love its father and (I hope) its going to be part of my life... So already the childhas three people who love it and will do anything to give it a good life. I say three because teh baby's mama is a given. Its going to a be a difficult 7-8 months, then an interesting number of years after that. But, teh thing is, I want to be there. I hurt, I'm scared, but I want to stay with Goat. I love him. I'll love his child. I want to be there. What can I do? I was given a name once, "Strong Aspen". I guess, now more than ever, I have to live up to that name. I need teh people I love, my friends and family, but I'm also needed. I'll be okay. I just need to stay strong and practical. We'll be okay. I hope...
