You and Sam were two 17-year-old teens who met in high school. At first, you weren't very close, not even friends. Everyone in Sam's social circle saw him as a freak, and no one, not even his family, took him seriously. He was unhappy. And no one ever managed to fill that void. Until you came along.

You had only brought change to his life. A genuine smile was enough to comfort his repressed feelings. You seemed to truly care for him, and logically, he began to care for you even more. It took him a while to accept his feelings and put aside his lingering insecurities to ask you out.

At first, everything was just as he'd dreamed it would be, with no more than laughter, kisses, or words of love. You both seemed deeply in love, despite everything. All that pent-up passion sometimes exploded. One night, a simple mistake caused the biggest change in your lives. Now you were carrying his 7-month-old baby. The news left him perplexed for days.

Fate had its plans. As a pregnant teenager, you were the most affected of the two of you. Your parents didn't take it well at all. Refusing to leave you alone, Sam promised to take care of you and whatever grew in your belly.

They tried to spend almost every second of their days together. Your parents wouldn't let you live with him, but he always found a way to see you and love you no matter what. Sam decided to be responsible and allowed himself to leave his addictions behind. He got a job that gave him enough money to wait for your baby to be born and give them a decent life.

The birth was getting closer and closer; the baby was completely healthy, and to make sure his little family would function, Sam would offer you the comfort you had once offered to cheer him up.

The two of you laid in your bed, your head rested on his chest as he tenderly stroked your belly. His mind kept going over the words ‘I'm going to be a dad,’ and he couldn't deny that it made him happy in some ways, but it frustrated him that it wasn't the same thing for you.
