Sam-I-Am

Yeah, after all this I really am a believer that things happen for a reason.

Yes ma’am.

Well I definitely didn’t give you much of a chance to prove me wrong either. I really thought I had you pegged. It’s weird to think about now - how different you are than I imagined…

Wait, really? Don’t tease me like that.

I think that just gave me more motivation to prove myself, and I think I needed to do that. To earn a spot in your life. To make me believe I can really do this. Because what we’re going through isn’t easy. I’m happy about what we went through together.

No teasin’. Only pleasin’.

Um, if I ever…voiced my doubts. About you or the kinda guy you were. Before I knew you really. Swift kick to the ribs, courtesy of Baby Bear. So yeah, I know she’s a daddy’s girl.

I feel pregnant. Really really pregnant and achy all over. I just want to go into a warm bubble bath with a personal masseuse to tend to me at my beckon call and never come out until this girl is ready to greet the world. That sounds pretty good right now.

It get it. Definitely didn’t make the best first impression... or second impression technically. I’m glad you think so now... or at least think I’m good enough to be in our daughter’s life. It’s what I hoped for.

Bubble bath and personal masseuse. You got it.

By all means, please do. Have at it.

I thought me and her were tight but tbh she’s always been a daddy’s girl. Soon as she could kick she’d stick it to me if I ever…uh, never mind.

Yes. Talk to this child of yours please. Mama Bear wants some sleep.

You really think she’s a Daddy’s girl because I won’t complain about that. If you ever...? Oh. Okay.

Alright, I’ll try my best. Other than that are you feeling okay? No other aches, pains and other things I can help you with?

Baby Bear is in my ribs. Omg. This girl has been consistently kicking, punching, rolling, tumbling, and who knows what else for the past hour. I need her to take a break so I can try and go to sleep.

She and I might have a little talk. Maybe I can tell her to calm down. And while we’re at it I can give you a massage. Getting you relaxing might help her relax a little too.

tbt to my first mother’s day. Sorta.

Mama Bear: Oh, yeah, of course. Are they staying here or...?

Mama Bear: I just mean...well if they're here I guess that means we should sleep in our own rooms?

Mama Bear: We've got time to figure it out, looks like. Since Baby Bear seems to have no plans of leaving her current accommodations anytime soon.

Papa Bear: Oh... hadn't thought of that.

Papa Bear: Yeah, we will. I'm glad Baby Bear likes it that way.

Mama Bear: Paternal intuition, eh? Or do you prefer to call it 'the force'?

Mama Bear: Oh yeah, good idea. So um, does that mean they're coming for a visit or...?

Papa Bear: Definitely the Force.

Papa Bear: Yeah, plans aren't solid yet but they want to be here when the baby comes.

Mama Bear: hmm. What is that, like The Secret? Positive reinforcement bringing something into existence?

Mama Bear: Yeah? I dunno, normal, loving mothers are new territory for me. I bet I could get some good pointers from her...

Papa Bear: I dunno it's just a hunch.

Papa Bear: I bet you will. Might ask dad for some advice while we're at it.

Mama Bear: I'm just...

Mama Bear: I don't have anything left to read and our classes are done and now I'm just waiting.

Mama Bear: Like it's almost time to just do it on my own. For real.

Mama Bear: I can't wait to meet her but it's kinda scary, isn't it?

Mama Bear: Your mom seems great. You're lucky to have her.

Papa Bear: I know. It is scary. I'm honestly freaking out too but hey we say we'll be fine maybe it'll happen.

Papa Bear: She's the best ever. You'd really love her.

Mama Bear: I know, I know.

Mama Bear: But don't big issues stem from small things like this?

Mama Bear: I mean honestly, as a parent there seem to be countless ways you can mess up your kid forever.

Mama Bear: Love and feed her, huh? I think I can do that.

Mama Bear: Maybe she will. Fingers crossed.

Mama Bear: so...does that mean no more snuggling and looking up baby names?

Papa Bear: But I don't think it's an issue? Not even a small one. Our baby is getting a name sometime.

Papa Bear: Don't worry too much. From what my mom is telling me, the whole parent thing will just come naturally.

Papa Bear: I mean that doesn't mean we can't think up names... or snuggle. So yeah. That can keep happening.

Mama Bear: Really? It doesn't make us irresponsible parents or something?

Mama Bear: She's not gonna end up in therapy years later having an identity crisis because she was nameless?

Mama Bear: Cause I really don't wanna screw her life up, Sam.

Papa Bear: It's not like we're leaving her for 10 years without a name. I think she'll be just fine.

Papa Bear: I mean as long as we love her and feed her I don't think naming her after her birth is gonna be an issue. Maybe a name will come to us as soon as we see her. She'll inspire us or something.

awww i love harley and kendra!!!

The geekiness behind them makes it even better.

Mama Bear: haha, no not at all. There are so many Zatannas running around...

Mama Bear: I'll admit, some of them aren't so bad though. Harley. Kendra. Maybe they can go on the long list.

Mama Bear: I still feel like the perfect name hasn't come to us yet.

Mama Bear: Maybe I'm crazy though cause she's almost here and my poor baby girl has no name yet. :(

Mama Bear: Maybe she's gonna be Baby Bear and that's that.

Papa Bear: Hey, that's awesome name.

Papa Bear: You're right. Nothing has made me think 'that's the one'.

Papa Bear: It's okay, I've heard of people who haven't named them until they were born. But hey, Baby Bear isn't a bad name either. lol

#p: Mercedes

Mama Bear: Perfect. Soooo it's a date. Nightly. I like this plan.

Mama Bear: lol, I guess we're to the point I have to start letting you run some of those by me. So whatcha got?

Papa Bear: Ororo (Storm), Harley (Harley Quinn), Kendra (Hawkgirl), Diana (Wonder Woman), Zatanna, Jean (Jean Grey/Phoenix)

Papa Bear: I mean, they aren't too out there...
