"Trials and tribulations, I've had my share. But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now because I'm almost there."

He walks into her hospital room. She can't find it in her to check her appearance.

"Hey" he says nervously while eying her sleeping Jason.

She stares at him. His eyes are blue like her precious baby. Maybe he is Jason's father.

"Does she know you are here?" She asks.

She is talking about you. She knows you haven't approved of the amount time your boyfriend has been spending with her.

A flicker of irritation appears on his face before it is gone.

"I don't have to tell her my whereabouts."

She shrugs.

He keeps eyeing the baby.

"Can I hold...him?" He asks uncertainly.

She wordlessly hands her baby into his arms.

She is nervous. What if he drops him?

He stares down at the baby and grabs one if his little hands.

"Do you think he could be mine?" She shrugs.

"It's a possibility. I think I became pregnant around that time. At least that is what the doctor said. But, there was other guys after you, too."

He looks down uncertainly at the sleeping child. "On an scale of one to ten what is the possibility he is mine?"

She thinks for a moment. "Well, there is only one other person who could be his father, time wise. I think a seven, maybe."

He looks up at her.

"So say if by chance I decided to take responsibility as his father, what would you say?"

She stills. "Well, I would say that I may be a slut, but I'm no homewrecker."

He frowns. "Stop it! What is it with you and her? I don't care what she says. Yeah I love her, but this baby needs a father and what if I am?"

She has nothing to say to that.
