In this monologue from the play, “Like Father Like Son”, Tom and Dan, two new expectant fathers, share their fears and hopes over this big change in their lives.
TOM: My wife, she’s in there… soon, I’ll meet my son. It doesn’t feel real yet. Like I’m sleepwalking. I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel. I thought I knew how to live life, and I did for me, with Emily, but this… it feels heavy, like Atlas with the whole world on his shoulders. My world is being born right now. A tiny human who… What if I’m not good enough? What if I can’t be who they need me to be? Do you ever feel ready? There’s no book, no class that can prepare you for this. But I’m afraid. Excited, yes. But afraid too. What if Emily and I don’t make it? What if we end up divorced like everyone in my family? What if I look into this kid’s eyes and feel… nothing? I can’t live with the what ifs! I need to go outside and breathe.
