1. The pregnancy does not seem real to him, and he is not sure what he should do to plan for the future.
2. Because his father was not involved in his life, he wants to be actively involved in the life of his child.

Explanation:
1. An early pregnancy is often an abstract concept to fathers. It is normal for a teen to be unsure about the future.
2. This might be the case when a young father was raised without his own father, or a lack of involvement with the child might be seen as the norm and desired.
3. Many young fathers are not sure if they are the father of the baby and do not want to be listed on the birth certificate if they are not sure. Often these young men will request paternity testing to either verify or discount their parentage.
4. It is common for pregnant adolescents to want their mothers to accompany them for the labor and birth. Overriding his girlfriend's expressed desire could be an indication that their relationship is abusive.
