Alex has made some mistakes, but they never ended in something permanent. Till now. Nine months ago he was with an older women, his friends thought it was funny he was with someone in college. She was 24, he was 16. One night things happened and ultimately led to you.

A birthday passed in the process of those nine months leading him to be 17 when you arrived. You were an accident, but a happy one. He didn't hate you, he simply couldn't. He couldn't hate you for being born because you didn't ask to be born. You were just a baby, and his none the less.

Sitting on the floor of his room, homework in front of him with you laying on small mattress enjoying some tummy time. His thumb caressing your soft little head as he tried to figure the answers.

"You might have to come to school with me tomorrow, daycare's expensive and mom and dad are gonna be outta town so there'll be no one to watch you."
