And I was asked to leave.

And I remember I left the hospital and I was like, he's asking me to leave the hospital where my girlfriend lives.

is having a baby, we're having a baby, you know?

And I, but I was honestly worried that he was gonna call the police or something on me.

Like I felt like that, I always felt like,

and not that this was even on his mind and maybe it was just paranoid on my end.

I felt like I was waiting to either fail a test or be set up for something.

You know what I mean?

And I was like, um, I, I, I don't know.

I just, so I, so I walked out of the hospital.

I walked past the nursery.

There was all these, you know, um,

went up the elevator down the elevator and i remember walking past a window where there were the babies and stuff and i remember thinking and there were couples and stuff and walking down the hall where they're leaving with the wheelchair and with their baby and it was such a normal sight to see those people and i felt like i was living everything but that right and it wasn't and i remember looking at the babies going well i mean it was just a wake-up call to like

You're going to be a dad, but you're in some deep shit.

Like right now that you don't like, how are you going to get out of this one?

You know?

And so, um, I left the hospital, but before I left and before things went sour backing up, there was a key thing that happened that, that Anna had acknowledged me in a diary as being the dad and acknowledged Howard as being the uncle.

And I, I felt bad for how it was like, Howard's over there.

come here, Uncle Howie, and you just sign your name here.

And like, so they put it all in a book.
