Page (2). I'm going To Be A Granddad.

I remember it so clearly, the first time I heard that I was going to a Grandfather. Granddad as I am now happy to be called.
It was a Sunday, much like any other, and my son and his girlfriend had invited me to spend some time with them in their new flat. When I walked in through the door I knew there was something going on. My son was all smiles and Raven was curled up on their sofa looking a bit giggly.  My son made coffee and then sat down next to Raven.
"We've got something to tell you." He said. 
Now, I know my son, and as he looked at his girlfriend my heart started to race.
"You're going to be a granddad." he said. I looked at Raven and she smiled and nodded. I had a thousand thoughts going through my head and I wanted to jump and down and shout I was so happy, but I managed to keep a reasonable cool. I knew this wasn't a planned pregnancy but as I looked at them both they looked so happy so I just said.
"Really?" They both nodded. I stood up and gave my son a hug.
"That's wonderful." I said. Then I leaned down and gave Raven the biggest hug I could manage. I whispered in her ear. "Are you pleased?" The smile on her face answered the question.
