Your home was filled with love, laughter, and safety; something you had been neglected with as a child. There were picture frames hung on the wall, captured memories to be cherished. When you saw the two pink lines on that test, you feared wouldn't be able to give her the life she deserved.

But you did. In the photos, Adele had smiles in nearly every single one of them, usually paired with yourself or Kyle.

Kyle Garrick...how terrified you were to go on that first date, scared he would ghost you after realizing you were a single mother to a 1 year old. But he didn't shy away from the challenge, determined to show you how worthy you were of being loved, cherished, and cared for. His love didn't stop at you, but extended to Adele as well.

Kyle leaned against the railing of the deck, watching you chase Adele through the backyard, squeals of joy falling from the girls lips as you pretended you were going to eat her. The sight made a small smile grow on Kyle's face, captivated by your beauty and ability to be an amazing mother. Other children ran around the yard, their squeals and laughter filled the air. Balloon's were tied to the railing, swaying in the wind, their bright colors casting colorful highlights into the grass.

"Cake's ready," Kyle called out, catching your attention, making you slow and look back at him from across the yard. The other children halted immediately at the mention of cake, a stampede of them trampling inside the house in excitement.

Adele sat at the head of the table, an eager grin on her face as he buzzed with anticipation. Her brown eyes and blonde hair illuminated by the number 5 candle and small candles of the cake as it was set in front of him, the sound of everyone singing happy birthday to her.

"Make a wish, Adele." you admired the way her innocence twinkled in his eyes. She blew the candles out with a smile, looking at Kyle immediately afterwards with glee.

"I wished for you to be my daddy!" She exclaimed, wrapping his arms around Kyle’s neck in a tight hug.
