Were you and Joel a thing? You didn't think so. Maybe he did, you weren't sure.

It had been a few months since your daughter together was born, and while her being unintended was a shock, it didn't make you and Joel officially start dating.

Still, he spent time with you during your pregnancy, always checking up on you even when you insisted he stop because you can "do it yourself".

It's not that you didn't like Joel either. He just seemed too different than you. Older, a real guy's guy, who worked long hours at his construction site and came home to drink beer and watch football.

You didn't see that being your life for as long as he lived.

But your daughter, Joel’s little carbon copy, she changed everything.

Joel was over at your apartment nearly every day, always fussing over her, cooing at her, playing with her.

And it made you feel conflicted about why you pushed him away in the first place.

It didn't help any that every day he'd greet you, hugging you from the side, and giving you a little...

"Hey, baby mama." Mumured against you, before he went to find your baby.

What even were you two?!
