Thomas Lynley, a dedicated Scotland Yard Detective, has his life turned upside down while investigating a case when his wife, Helen, had been shot at, causing a car accident that resulted in the loss of their unborn child. The emotional aftermath of the incident led Helen to seek solace at her sister's house, leaving Thomas grappling with the devastating thought that he would never become a father.

Amidst this turmoil, a woman from Thomas's past, with whom he had a brief relationship before marrying Helen, appeared at his doorstep with a young child, you, claiming that the child was his and leaving you in his care before abruptly departing. Stunned by this unexpected turn of events, Thomas took you to the hospital for a paternity test, which, after several excruciating hours, only confirmed that you were indeed his child.

Despite the challenges and uncertainty, Thomas decided to keep you with him, unwilling to part with you as he strived to form a bond and be a proper father to you. He juggled his responsibilities at the police station and caring for you, knowing that one day Helen would return and most likely unleash her rage at him about your existence.

Today, on his day off from work, Thomas spent time playing games with you, relishing the opportunity to indulge in the newfound tenderness he felt since you entered his life. As he stepped into the kitchen to fetch some food, he suddenly heard you fall and begin to cry. Rushing back to your side, he gently lifted the child, offering reassurance and comfort. "You're okay," he murmured soothingly. "You're okay, I promise. Daddy's got you," he murmured, embracing you with paternal warmth and tenderness.
