Accidental Parent 3

So darling its we 3,dad was really cool and together and he said honestly it was great with him and am i really sure.I can tell you this as you are here.I did panic up to now never had to make a decision of any consequence ,life had been very sweet and blissfully naive.There was not for a nano second of doubt about dad,i knew he,d be brilliant,there was however the problem of telling my dad.It was the hardest thing i ever did and being gutless i did it through a 3rd party,my sister Nici.,next was Grandma.Fortunately they were living in Saudi at the time,so i knew she wasn,t able to drop every thing and fly back.So the jungle drums reverberated around the globe,next was Nan and G,dad.fortunately they were like their son and simply brilliant.You were on your way.

We were living in Hammersmith West London at the time and i was able to simply grow and get on with it.We had a little flat and when i wasnt fretting about my dad was genuinely quite happy.No dodgy tastes although did like a small Guinness.You were due end of December,so we spent Christmas Day and the next 2 days at Nan and G,dads .Oddly on the morning of 27th i had overwhelming craving for Gin and Tonic with lemon which i ate.I,d abstained booze since summer and everyone found it very amusing,i, couldn,t face Christmas dinner ,you,d developed a neat trick of sticking your feet under my ribs every meal time so always bloated and what with somersaulting on my bladder,constantly needed to pee, thanks.Any way it was time to go home and i couldn,t way to go.Living in central London we didn,t have a car and it was to be direct home on Piccadilly line.All was dandy till i literally took my seat on the tube.Something really peculiar occured a most strange sensation,never experienced it before,didnt need to to know that i had gone into labour.


Oh My God,i cant remember the rest of journey ,but we made it home,called the hospital ,who said to make our own way in ,no hurry 1st births take forever....yeah right.you arrived at 1.58am.we said hello.i went to sleep and dad stayed allnight till they kicked him out to get some sleep, day1.
