As he sat alone in his living room , his mind worked overtime .I'm way better than that , he thought.I Dont need a wife whos going to have a baby , she needs to go back home , and leave me alone .Why did she have to get pregnant anyway? i warned her about that. I didn't go to the gym everyday and work out ,and get this ripped body just to be shackled to my homelife.And didn't I work hard for this new house , and all the nice furnature in it.? The 52 inch HD TV, suround sound , tivo, all the goodies.Think im gonna give that up for some brat baby? I drink the best beers and wines, drive the hottest car out this year. I'm not giving up my money for a child ,even if it is mine. She should have been more careful , after all its her fault she got pregnant. And god ? Well I dont believe in god , anything ive gotten over the years , i've done on my own , Please dont bore me with talk of gods grace.I dont need her , the baby , or god . I do just fine on my own.
