The baby father.. Alfie Patten with little Maisie Lee Thompson

BOY dad Alfie Patten yesterday admitted he does not know how much nappiescost —

but said: “I think it’s a lot.”

Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father fourdays ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3ozMaisie Roxanne.He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion afterdiscovering she was pregnant.The shy lad, whose voice has not yet broken, said: “I thought it would begood to have a baby.“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocketmoney. My dad sometimes gives me £10.”

Little family.. Alfie, Chantelle and baby Maisie Lee Thompson....

Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, added: “When my mum found out, I thought I wasgoing to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried howpeople would react.

“I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though,and care for it.” Alfie’s dad Dennis told how the lad does not really understand the enormityof his situation — but seemed desperate to be a devoted and responsiblefather.

He wanted to be the first to hold Maisie after the hospital birth.

Hetenderly kisses the baby and gives her a bottle.

And Dennis, 45, said: “He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at homeon his Playstation. But he has been at the hospital every day.” Maisie was conceived after Chantelle and Alfie — just 12 at the time — hada single night of unprotected sex.They found out about the baby when Chantelle was 12 weeks pregnant. But they kept it a secret until six weeks later when Chantelle’s mum Penny,38, became suspicious about her weight gain and confronted her.
