Dear dairy,

This is the first time I can write in over 5 months. So much has happened. Tina and I are going strong. She is so close to giving birth. She was already 3 months and 1 week pregnant when she told me she is pregnant so now she is 8 months and one week along with a girl/boy twin. Somehow, they found a way to do DNA-tests before the kids are born. Those tests confirmed that Mr. Green is indeed the biological father of the twin. Tina was so happy when he gave up his parental rights and did not want anything to do with the kids. He is in jail now and even if he ever comes out of prison, which we all hope will not happen, then he can never teach or work with minors again. Tina was then 6 months pregnant when he was punished and I have never seen her so happy.

Tina is so beautiful when she is happy… it is as if she lights up the whole world. She still goes to school and even though there are people who find it necessary to make comments and jokes about her being pregnant but I made it very clear that they should back off.

The doctor say she will give birth in the beginning of March and now its end February. They are not my kids but still, they feel like they are. I have done everything I think a father is supposed to do. I have a job now, I don’t get paid much but it is something and I help Tina to buy stuff for the kids. Her parents help her financially to off course but some little things I pay.

My father, of course, is mad. He thinks that I should break up with Tina and go on with my life, as if nothing ever happened. He was never happy with me being gay and I do not expect him to be but still, he just acts as if it does not really exist. I do feel like in some way, it is getting better because maybe now he realizes Tee and I are serious.
