Ocean

"Thank you though, Dad. I am thankful that you are so worried about me." When I called Reef, I was looking right at him, so he knew who I was talking to.

"O..Ocean. Y..you just called me Dad." There was a goofy grin on his face as he spoke. "I..I can't believe this." He ran around the table and threw his arms around me. "Yay! I have officially leveled up in Ocean's eyes. I am so happy."

"Oh, calm down, Reef." Analise laughed at him. "It's just a name."

"Hey, I get it. It's a major milestone for him." Dad, my dad, added for him. Hmm. Now that I think about it, I needed a different name for them both.

"Hey, how about instead of Dad, I call you something similar to it. You both being Dad will be confusing." I spoke as Reef pulled away from me.

"Yeah, that's fine. I am good with anything. Daddy, Daddio, Pop, Pa, Da, Dada, call me whatever you want kiddo." He was ruffling my hair as he said that.
