  "All right then. You are here. You know we need to talk, right? Yes, Dad. I know. I want to say I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to… relax.
  That's fine. I already admitted(承认) that I'm going to be a grandfather. In fact, I like it. I mean, I know you are young, but you are not a teenager anymore. You will be fine. You are 21 and you are in the last year at college.
  You already have a job, right? Yes, I got a job. A good company hired(租借) me last month. I am working(使工作) there. You see? Then you will be fine.
  And I will be a grandfather. I like it. I know you had different plans. Anna and you wanted to travel more and get married first. But sometimes it happens. I understand that.
  I am sure you will be an excellent father. That's the problem, Dad. I don't know. Everything happened so fast and I… What? Don't tell( 告诉) me you don't want to be a father. It's too late for that soon.
  You will be fine. No. I already assumed(假定) that I'm going to have a baby. We already talked about it with Anna and we will work hard to give our child a good life. The problem is, I am scared, Dad. I don't feel prepared for this.
  I don't know how to be a father. I am really scared. It's too difficult. How could I take care of another person? I don't know. I mean, I have a good job.
  Anna also has finished college. She's also working for the moment. But I am scared. What if I can't be good enough to be that little child's father? I see. Let me tell you something.
  What you're feeling is something very normal. I'm telling you this because I was also scared when your mother got pregnant(怀孕的). But what does it mean to be a dad? Fatherhood is evolving(发展), a society, and traditional family changes. But some things will never change and I think I can help you with that.
