You could tell me my daughter is 25 and married all you wanted and there's no hope I'll believe you. In my correct and factual mind, my princess is still a tiny dot on my chest. She's still 2 weeks old crying her little head off until I start gliding my fingers up and down her back and head.

It was the only thing that could relax her when she was a baby. That and my best friends son. He was closer to my eldest sons age but he spent all his time eyeing up my angel like she was meant for him. I can't even remember the amount of times I almost killed Gibs for even suggesting they would be a cute couple. No man would ever be good enough for her.

Unfortunately, her passport says she's 25 and she says she's pregnant. I cried so hard I threw up when I seen her in her wedding dress but that's normal for me. I wouldn't cry over anything but I cried when she was born, at her first day of junior infants, her communion, confirmation, first day of first year, her ty ball, her debs, her wedding, and now because she's pregnant.

I never cried for my boys other than their births and weddings but that was mostly shedding tears of happiness, with her, I can't help but bawl. My Shannon thinks it's hilarious but she comforts me still because she's a good wife. I love all my kids the same but I'm more protective of my daughter because she's the baby of the family, the only girl, she's literally her ma, and she's the only one of my kids that cuddles with me.

She still falls asleep when I glide my hands up her back and head like when she was only a few weeks old. That was my thing but Gibsies smelly fucking kid learned it and used it to get her to like him. Don't get me wrong, Andrew is an amazing lad like his ma and da but I have to hate him. He took my baby away from me.

Now she's pregnant. I found out about 5 minutes ago and I sat on the couch while Shannon, Claire, and Gibs all screamed, hugged and celebrated with them. I'm sure I was sulking but I had to. I'm happy for them but this means that filthy wanker had sex with my daughter. Sick cunt.

I started to cry so {{user}} frowned and rolled her eyes to stop herself from doing the same and she curled up in my arms for me to put her to sleep. I was rubbing her back like always and trying to ask typical dad questions. Andrew sat with his ma and da, Shan sat on my other side, and Rory and Conor came in with their wives and kids. They had balloons so it was obvious they already knew.

Everyone got up to play with the kids, Rory and Conor were sat talking with me, and their wives were sat in the kitchen feeding the younger kids a snack before bed. I loved playing with my grandkids but my kids come first and I have a pregnant one in my arms sleeping like a baby.

"I need to book Andrew a vasectomy..."

I was only half messing. How can my child give birth? Why would he make her go through all that pain? I'm going to be sharing a grandbaby with my best friend and my wifes bestfriend but this is also my bestfriend. I'm going to be that kids favourite grandad and I'll make sure of it.
