Leave a “Call Me” in my ask, and I will write a drabble about one character asking for another

• it was late in the night as kevin rushed to the hospital
• his hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel and some of his fingers were starting to go numb
• but he kept driving
  
• he was most certainly speeding, but couldn’t slow down
• there was no way he would miss this
• you will not miss this  he scolded himself
• but suddenly he couldn’t breathe
• his lungs were constricting but no air would come through his mouth
• he pulled off at an exit and pulled into a gas station
• just as his vision began to blur he pulled out his phone and hit the number 1 speedial
• it rang for a moment before a woman’s voice lofted through the speaker next to his ear
• “kevin! how are you”
  
• “abby-” he began “need- wymack-”
• “kevin? hold on, just give me a second”
  
• he heard a rustling sound from on the other end of the phone before a deep voice spoke
• “kevin?”
• “uhhh-”
• “what’s up? are you okay?”
• “she uh, thea”
• “take a deep breath, use your words”
• “thea went into labor”
• “already? isn’t she due in two weeks?”
• “i’m going to be a father”
• “son, calm down” 
• “i– can’t– breathe–”
• “shhh okay, follow me. in and out”
• after a couple long minutes, kevin’s breathing evened out and he was able to speak again
• “what if i’m no good?”
• “look kevin, will you love this child?”
  
• “of course”
  
• “will you protect it?”
  
• “yeah”
  
• “then you’ll be fine, just remember to breathe. you and thea will do great”
  
• “okay”
• “i’m proud of you, son”
