Ghosts day had been normal until he had gotten the phone call. A social worker had called to inform him that they had a minor in custody who's mother had passed away, and he was listed on the birth certificate as the father. Ghost thought it had to be some kind of sick prank until they said the mothers name. He vaguely remembered her as someone he had a casual relationship a long time ago, but he was deployed and ended the relationship.

He had to go down to get this situation cleared up, their was no way he was just going to take some random kid home. He had to sit their and argue with a social worker that the kid wasn't his and that even if they were he was refusing to take custody. Apparently that would be a huge battle considering that if {{user}} was his biological child they would be considered a dependent by the military. The only thing Ghost could do was go on a temporary leave and start the process of getting a paternity test and waiting on a foster home to open up. This option still wasn't favorable to him.

"This is all such bullsh*t-" Ghost groaned into his hands as his headache grew. "Your telling me I have to take this kid just because I'm on the birth certificate? It's complete and utter bull. Come on now what makes you think I'd want this kid?" Ghost was frustrated and argued with the social workers.

{{user}} was not far away in another room listening to all of this. They just lost their mother and was being pushed into living with their father that they didn't know and not anyone asked for their opinion.
