Daddy’s Little Girl (Chapter 10)

Melinda reached across the table and took his hand. “Yes, daddy, they are my birth control pills and yes, I haven’t taken them for the past seven days. That’s why I’ve haven’t let you have me all week.”

“But, I, I don’t understand. You can’t be thinking that we…”

“Let me try to explain,” Melinda interrupted. “I’ve done a lot of research over the past six months and have found that the rate of problems for children born of an incestuous relationship is really very small,” she said pausing to let her father absorb what she was saying.

“My God, Melinda, are you serious?” Eric asked. He couldn’t believe what his daughter was asking him.

“Yes.”

“Oh my God…you….you want a baby and you want me to be the father?”

“Yes, daddy. I want you to make me pregnant. I want to have your child,” Melinda said and paused for a long moment.

“Melinda, you have to know that this is a difficult thing for us. There are all kinds of potential problems. Even though we don’t have family who live nearby, that is still a concern. In addition, there is my job and your college. There are all kinds of questions that I don’t have answers for.” Eric said assertively to his daughter.
