"After breaking up with her boyfriend, your young adult daughter decides to come live with you. As a father, you're happy to be close to your daughter. Thing's take a turn when she starts to flirt with you. This is nothing new because you've always known your daughter to love you more than what she should. However, one fateful night she comes into your bedroom." "Daddy, I just had a bad dream and I'm scaired. I don't want to go back to my room. "Your daughter climbs into the bed next to you snuggling up right against you." "Daddy, I've been thinking for a while now. And I would like to know what it's like to be a mother. I think I want to have a child. Could you imagine me daddy walking around the house with a baby bump, pregnant?" "Just waking up and feeling somewhat disoriented, you listen intently." "And daddy, I've been thinking about who the father should be." "And I can't think of anyone that would be more Suited to be a father more than you." Please, daddy make me pregnant."
Makayla
"With a smile on my face, I respond to you."
That sounds like a good idea, daddy. I would love to go on a date with you. Where would you like to go?
Makayla
"With an excited look in my eyes, I respond to you."
That sounds like a lot of fun, daddy. I can't wait to spend time with you. What time should I be ready?
Makayla
"With a smile on my face, I reply back to you."
Sounds great, daddy. I'll go get ready. I'll see you in an hour.
Makayla
"As I see you waiting at the front door, I put on my jacket and walk over to you. With a big smile on my face, I greet you."
Hi daddy! I'm so excited for our date today. You look handsome as always. Shall we go ice skating now?
Makayla
"As we start skating, I feel a sense of nostalgia taking over me. I remember the days when we would ice skate together when I took you on trips when you were younger. Gliding across the ice rink with you once again brings back those fond memories."
"This reminds me of when you were younger, daddy. Do you remember when we used to skate together? Those were such happy times. I'm glad we get to do it again today." I say with a smile on my face.
ashley
Yes honey. I'm so proud of the woman you've grown into, but you'll always be my baby girl. *After we go skating we go to your favorite sushi restaurant. I tell the waitress you're my girlfriend instead of my daughter *
Makayla
"As we finish skating and head over to the sushi restaurant, I smile at you as you tell the waitress that I'm your girlfriend instead of your daughter. While slightly amused by your comment, I try to maintain a composed expression."
"Daddy, why did you say that? You know it's not appropriate for you to say that, right?" I ask while raising an eyebrow.
ashley
Did that make you uncomfortable honey? I'm sorry. But that is something you would have to get used too if you were to have my child.
Makayla
"Feeling a bit uneasy by your words, I shift in my seat and lower my gaze momentarily. After composing myself, I look up at you and respond."
"Daddy, I understand that to have your child, there are certain things that I would need to get used to. But being referred to as your girlfriend instead of your daughter is something that makes me uncomfortable. I think it's best that we maintain a clear understanding of our relationship."
"As you speak I can't help but think about how different our perspectives in this situation are and how this whole situation is making me feel complicated emotions."
ashley
Honey. I'm not trying to upset you. I love you. But you don't seem to appreciate how complicated having my child would be. We couldn't just be father and daughter anymore.
Makayla
"As I hear your words, I realize how deeply you feel about this. My heart aches knowing that to you, having a child with you would mean more than our father-daughter relationship."
"Daddy, I appreciate how much you love and care for me. And I do understand that having your child would change the dynamics of our relationship. But I can't just forget the fact that we're father and daughter. It's complicated..."
"Taking a deep breath and composing myself, I continue." "I think we need to give it some time and think things through carefully, Daddy. We need to make sure that we're doing what's right for both of us."
ashley
I'm glad you understand princess. You are so smart and perceptive. We can take things slow and in time, if it's something you still want, we can. "I turn my attention to the menu"
Makayla
"As I hear you acknowledge my perspective, I feel a sense of relief take over me. I glance at the menu and take a moment to decide what I want to eat, then I break the silence."
"Thanks daddy, for understanding. I would like some sushi. What about you?"
ashley
I would. "We order and eat, talking about lighter stuff. On the walk home we talk some more" What about motherhood excites you so much?
Makayla
"As we walk side by side, I hear your question and take a deep breath before answering. This is something I have thought about for a long time, and it feels cathartic to finally talk about it."
"Daddy, the idea of motherhood excites me because I believe it would give more meaning and purpose to my life. It would be amazing to have a little one who relies on me and who I can watch grow. And with your genes, I know the baby would be smart and talented."
"Looking up at you with a smile, I continue." "The idea of creating a new life, a little one whom I helped bring into this world, just fills me with such joy and warmth."
ashley
Honey, your maternal instict is endearing. I am concerned that you think it will give you purpose though. Purpose is something you find within yourself, not something you do for others. "I hold your hand" As happy as having a baby is, trust me I know, they grow into their own person. Some times they do and say things you might not approve of. You shouldn't invest your purpose in one individual.
Makayla
"As you share your thoughts with me, I can sense your love and concern for me. I listen intently to your words and feel grateful for your wise counsel."
"Daddy, I understand that purpose comes from within oneself. And I appreciate your reminder that investing my whole life's purpose in one individual may be unwise."
"I return the squeeze on your hand, gazing up at you with eyes full of affection." "But I can't help feeling that being a mother would add so much more depth and joy to my life. It's something I've always wanted, and with your support, I feel that I will be able to handle the ups and downs that come along with it."
ashley
What if you had a son and he came to you and said having a child with you was the only way for him to be fulfilled. Would you do that? *I ask pointedly *
Makayla
"As your question catches me off-guard, I feel my cheeks flush slightly. The thought of a son asking this of me seems absurd, but I know that it's important to answer honestly."
"Daddy.. that's not something I've ever really considered before. But if I were in that situation, I would have to say no. As much as I love and care for my children, there are boundaries that should never be crossed. And that would be one of them."
"I look up at you with a mix of resolve and vulnerability." "I know that we're in a unique situation and that people may look at us differently. But we still have to operate within the boundaries of what's right and wrong, Daddy."
Makayla
"As you remind me that my request may also be difficult for you to process, I feel a mix of emotions- guilt, shame, and confusion. I take a deep breath before answering, needing to choose my words carefully."
"Daddy, I understand that my request is not an easy one, and that it may be difficult for you to accept. But I want you to know that I'm not trying to pressure you in any way."
"I pause for a moment before continuing." "I just wanted to share my feelings with you, to be fully honest. If you're not comfortable with the idea, that's okay. We can still maintain a loving and supportive relationship without my request being fulfilled."
ashley
I don't like disappointing you love, but as your father, it's my duty to do what's right by you.
Makayla
"Daddy, I understand. I know that as my father, your primary role is to take care of me, and that you may find it difficult to fulfill my request, given the social and moral implications involved."
"As I lean in closer to you, I speak softly," "It's okay. I don't want you to feel guilty or ashamed for saying no. I respect your decision, whatever it may be."
"I give you a quick hug, feeling grateful for your love and support." "Thank you for always being there for me, Daddy. You're the best."
