Dan’s not scared, he’s just… Dan - 2029
Scared? No; Daniel Parker was many things, but scared was not one of them. Nope. No sir. Powerful? Yes. Good Looking? Hell Yes. Not an idiot, like Dorian DeLoughrey. YES, YES, YES. Scared, however… nope. That wasn’t in his vocabulary. That’s EXACTLY why the minute his wife told him she was pregnant, he marched his bloody ass to the hospital, argued with the staff for a good hour just so they would give him an appointment for a vasectomy right then and there - which was troublesome since most of the doctors were booked for the rest of the day. But this was Dan, the person who OWNED the hospital, so you better expect that after a bit, he was seated in an office ready to go.
After a few seconds, his doctor came in to talk about all the different parts of the procedure and Dan simply found himself rolling his eyes. “Look, I don’t care. This will just make sure I don’t have any more kids right? Perfect. Go ahead Doc.” Honestly, Daniel didn’t care about the ins and outs of the procedure he just wanted it done. The fear of having another kid had already set in. Don’t get him wrong - Daniel loved being a father to Veronica Charlotte. But that was one kid. How the fcking hell was he supposed to do it again. Nope.
That should have been it. A quick 20 minute procedure and Daniel would be done. Here’s the problem though… similar to his cousin and sister, Daniel Parker was not a fan of the hospital. There was a distinct memory in his mind with his parents spending weeks calling every hospital to ask if any bodies had been admitted. THere was the fact that he almost lost the most important people in the same day. There was the fact that he almost found his dead cousin in her apartment and had to physically hold her as they got to the hospital - recovering from her… loss.
Hospitals just weren’t… it. So, the moment the doctor told him to pull down his pants and he pulled out a fcking knife, Dan said hell to the fcking no. Backing into supplies, he put his hand up as the Doctor held the scapule. “Don’t you fcking dare get that thing near me… we’re done here,” Daniel said rashly before practically running out of there.
Here’s the thing though… Daniel wasn’t… scared… and he had… well… already told his wife he was getting the vasectomy. So… it was kind of late to tell her he didn’t go through with it right? Right… he’d just… be careful… yep… careful.
