~Wakko's POV~

(3 days later...)

*February 13th*

It's passed a few days since I found out that my girlfriend was pregnant. And I was really excited about it too because this was my chance to be a father just like my brother Yakko. But sometimes, I feel like I'm not going to do a great job being the father that I wanted to be. And I was a bit anxious about it. My brain keeps telling me that maybe this was a bad idea about conceiving the baby at the very beginning. But I had to talk to someone about my feelings about fatherhood.

One day, I decided to go see Doctor Scratchensniff since my girlfriend was busy with another patient at the moment. I sighed as I knocked on his office door.

"Come in." he said through the other side of the door.

I went inside of the office and closed the door behind me. "Hey Scratchensniff."

"Wakko, this is a surprise. You came here all by yourself?"

"Yeah. Is that a problem?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"No no not at all." he shook his head.

I laid down on the couch and looks up at the ceiling, then looked at Doctor Scratchensniff sitting on his chair with a notepad. Thinking about my future kid made me worried. "Hey doc? I have a problem going through my head."

"Is that so? Tell me what's troubling you Wakko." he said as he looked at me.

"Well Doctor, my girlfriend Aqua is pregnant."

"What?! Really?! Since when?!" he gasped.

"Almost the end of Book 1." I smiled.

"Uhh... what..?"

"I mean, a few days ago." I looked at my feet. "And I'm worried about not being a good father."

"Ahh I see. You're going through some unfortunate events where you think that you can't do anything at the moment."

"I want to be the best dad in the world for my future son or daughter. But I don't know how."

"Maybe it would be best if we train you a bit better so that way you won't feel so anxious."

"Maybe you're right. Can you help me?"

"Of course Wakko, it's what I'm here for." he said as he had a box. "Now then Wakko, we're going to practice changing diapers." he said as he took out a fake baby.

"The baby's naked." I covered my eyes.

"Well, all babies that are to be born have to be naked. What do you expect to to wear? Clothes after they're born?"

I thought about what he said and then remembered Rakko, Rachel and Yakko's son being born without any clothes on. "Oh. Okay." I chuckled a bit and uncovered my eyes. "I think I somewhat know how to change diapers. I sometimes watch the girls help change Rakko's diapers."

"Who's Rakko?"

"He's my nephew."

"Your nephew?" he gasped softly.

"Yeah. Hold up." I said as I went into my pocket to take out my phone. Then I showed him a family picture of Rachel and Yakko holding Rakko. "That's Yakko's new son. He was born a few days before Christmas."

"My goodness! You're all almost turning to normal!" he smiled a bit.

"So you're saying that you don't want to see us anymore?"

"Well, maybe from time to time. But we can always have the time to talk about your problems."

"Okay. So doc, the training?" I said as I held up the baby.

"Ah yes, the training."

"It's so squishy, I wonder what happens if I squeezed it?" I said as I squeezed the doll and yellow dyed water came out, wetting Scratchensniff on the face. I laughed a bit. "Looks like it peed on you."

He sighed and took out his handkerchief, then he wiped his face. "No more jokes."

"That wasn't a joke. It was something out of curiosity."

He shook his head. "Wakko, do you want to be a good father to your future child?" he asked me.

'Oh my god. He's right, I should stop playing around like this for a while.' I thought to myself and nodded my head, answering his question. "Yes I do."

"Okay. Let's get training."

"Okay." I nodded my head. And so within a few hours, Scratchensniff trained me everything about caring for babies and pregnant women. I know that my girlfriend is going to be proud of me and my child too.

(Hours later...)

As I was heading out the door from the office, I thanked Doctor Scratchensniff and closed his office door. As I was about to take a seat in the waiting room, the other office door opened. I witnessed Daffy Duck coming out of there with a bandaged foot and some crutches.

"Thank you Doctor! My flipper feels great! Bugs was right, you are a good doctor." Daffy smiled at her.

"It's my pleasure to assist you Daffy. Make sure you keep that flipper elevated." my beautiful girlfriend Aquamarine said to him.

"See you soon!" Daffy said as he used his crutches to go out.

"Bye Daffy." she waved goodbye to him.

After Daffy left, I looked back at my dear mermaid princess. "Hey baby."

"Oh, hey honey." she smiled and sat next to me. "How's it going?"

"It's going pretty good. Can I tell you something?"

"Of course. Anything."

So I told her what I was feeling about our child and also said that I feel like that I wasn't ready just yet. But she was understandable and gave me a lot of advice. And I even told her that I went through a series of training with Scratchensniff.

"Ahh, so you think that you wouldn't be a good father like Yakko?"

"I was afraid that I might mess up." I looked down.

"Honey, look at me." Aqua said as she raised my head and made me look at her. "Our child here inside of my very body knows that he or she will be in good hands once they're born. They know that you're a great dad when they know that you love them."

"Even though we just discovered that you're holding my child, I love them already." I said as I placed my hand on her stomach which was starting to be a little bit round.

"And I love them too."

"Thank you for being there for me Aqua. And to Scratchensniff too."

"Did you give him a hard time?"

"Ehh... only a little bit." I chuckled nervously.

She giggled softly. "Even as a grown up, you'll always be zany for me my animated maniac." she said as she kissed my cheek.

"And you'll always be my mermaid princess." I said as I kissed her cheek back. In the end, I was glad that I get to talk about my feelings about entering one of the many phases I was fully prepared for... fatherhood.
