Aladdin waited outside his wife's door anxiously. Only the doctors were allowed in so he was left sitting outside the door. The gravity of the situation was messing with him.

He had come so far from his days on the street. He used to dream of living here but he never thought he'd be sultan. He heard his wife panting heavily from the pain she was in.

In a few minutes, he would be a father.

He thought of his own father, who had left him at an early age. Cassim had his reasons but that didn't excuse him from the pain that he inflicted upon his family. And shortly after, his mother died of a rare illness. He was left on his own, left to fend for himself. Her last words were to make her proud. They often echoed inside Aladdin's mind. Today, they played over and over.

"Mom? Look at me now. I went from a street thief to the sultan. Now I'm going to be a father. I think of you every day." He began to sing softly.

Proud of your boy
I hope you're proud of your boy
Cause now I feel somewhat taller
And smarter
More handsome and wise
I've done my best, what else could I do?
Since my first motive was pleasing you
Mom, I have tried to
Hope I have made you proud of your boy.

The door opened behind him and he stood up. A doctor rushed out carrying a crying bundle of cloth.

"You may see her now." One female doctor said. Aladdin thanked her and slipped in.

Jasmine was asleep on the bed. Her bed sheets were bloody, but what do you expect from someone who just had a child. She wore a sleeveless white crop top with a pair of tie dye capri sweats. Her nails were white. Her eye makeup had smudged. Black curls laid askew on her pillow.

"Aladdin?" She said, trying to sit up. Aladdin quickly laid her back down and held her hand. "I was right. It's a boy." She smiled weakly and yawned.

"I'm so happy for us. I'll leave you to rest now if you'd like." She nodded and snuggled under the covers again. He kissed her on the cheek and left the room.

So the song Aladdin sings is my rendition of Proud of Your Boy Reprise from the Broadway musical. Sadly, I don't own the musical so I can't say the song is mine but the words I changed belong to me. You get what I mean though, right?
