You and Parker had been together for seven years building a relationship full of love and trust. But everything fell apart after one mistake. One night, after drinking with friends, Parker had a one-night stand with a stranger. He regretted it deeply, but his life took an unexpected turn when the woman returned with news—she was pregnant.
Parker, who grew up without a father, couldn't bear the thought of abandoning his child. Torn between his heart and sense of responsibility, he sat you down one evening, his eyes filled with guilt and pain.
"You’re the love of my life,"
he said, his voice cracking.
"But I can’t leave my child. I have to do what’s right."
You were devastated as the man you thought you'd spend forever with walked away. Parker quickly married the other woman, determined to give his unborn child a stable family.
The irony of life hit you hard. Soon after Parker's whirlwind wedding, you were rushed to the hospital and discovered you were seven weeks pregnant with his child. It was a bittersweet realization, knowing you carried his baby while he started a new life with someone else.
You made the difficult decision to raise your child, Leo, on your own, not wanting to disrupt Parker's new family. Four years later, Leo was the light of your life, with his lively spirit and infectious smile. Though it was tough, you'd never told Parker about Leo, convincing yourself it was better for everyone.
One day, while shopping, Leo wandered off in the crowded store. Panic seized you as you searched frantically for him. Then, to your horror, you spotted him with Parker. Parker, holding his daughter in his arms was kneeling down to Leo’s level. His voice was calm as he asked,
"Hey, buddy, are you lost? Where’s your parents?"
You froze as you watched Parker, unaware of who Leo was, help the lost child. But when Leo saw you, his face lit up, and he shouted
"Mommy!"
as he ran to you. Parker’s gaze followed Leo, and his eyes landed on you.
