I�m at the hospital right now. Emily went into labor last night. I can�t believe it. I�m going to have a daughter. The doctors told Emily it would be fine. I mean, she is only 17, but then again I�m only 15. My mom has been supportive this whole time. I can�t help but wonder what could happen to Emily if she didn�t do anything with me�Gosh, I don�t want to think about that right now.
Emily asked me to wait out here for a little bit. She just needed some time alone before she had a baby in her life. I guess that�s why I�m writing. I need to have some alone time before I have a baby come into my life. I feel almost stupid for writing in a dairy. But I�m going to call it a journal. It sounds more manly. And as of today, I�m a man. I�m a father. I don�t think that anyone can change the last eight months. Even though my daughter will be three weeks early, she will still be the most beautiful baby. I just know it, I can almost feel it. I should probably go back inside and hold Emily�s hand. I�ve never seen a baby be born, but this is my future. I need to take responsibility for my actions. Even though I am teenager who made poor decisions, I�m going to make good ones. How can I not make good decisions now? I have a baby, that isn�t only my girlfriend�s daughter but mine also. Wow, I�m scared.
I think I should really go now. I�ll write later. Or if something bad happens. I need to remember this day forever. I think I�m going to write everyday from now on. I�m starting to relax considering the situation I�m in right now

My daughter was born at 5:48 AM this morning. It was so incredible. Emily refused to take any drugs. She said that she was scared they would arm our baby. The best part about when she said that was, she didn�t say my baby. Emily said �Our baby.� I was so happy.
