My Baby's Daddy

Shirley rested her head on Zacharias’ shoulder and happily enjoyed the piggyback ride. “I loved piggyback rides when I was little,” said Shirley, reminiscing.

“You were adorable as a child. Of course, everyone loved to give you piggyback rides.” Zacharias smiled. He was reminded of Shirley when she was younger, and he cursed himself for never trying to even give her a hug.

Shirley asked, “Was I really that cute when I was a kid?”

“Yep, you were,” said Zacharias honestly, nodding. Shirley was reminded of that time he brought up the talk about kids. If we have kids, I wonder who they’ll take after. Me or him?
