I volunteered to assist a pregnant lady raise the kid since I fell in love with her, but she decided to put her responsibilities aside and have fun instead. She returned to me to do something unthinkable years after she had left me.
I met Molly in college. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, yet she never paid any attention to me.
Although Molly and I became close friends, she would often hang out with the most popular boys, namely from the school’s football team.
She was happy and a great student. Having a buddy like that was just amazing, even if my feelings would never be returned.
After a while, she started dating Tanner, the team’s captain. He wasn’t your typical harsh jock, but I always thought she could do better.
A few months later, Molly came crying to my home. Tanner ended their relationship almost immediately and started seeing another woman.
I tried to comfort her, but she had really loved him. About a month later, she discovered something that would change her life.
She told me, “Mark, I’m pregnant.” “What?” I exhaled. I found it hard to believe. “Have you informed Tanner yet?”
“Yes. He doesn’t want to engage with the baby. He instructed me to get rid of it since he won’t be a parent anymore,” Molly said.
“What an idiot! That somebody would so blatantly disregard his responsibilities is unthinkable! How are you going to react? I inquired.
“I don’t know. I don’t want to part with it even if I’m a college student. I can’t be a mother by myself. “My parents are going to murder me,” she cried.
“I’ll be the one to do it. We may get married, and I’ll help you raise the kid. “You won’t be alone,” I said without hesitation.
It is not possible to ask you to do that. I’m sorry, Mark. “But I don’t think I’ll ever feel that way about you,” Molly said in apology. “Don’t be worried.” The point isn’t that. I continued by saying,
“We’ll get married so that no one will look down on you and you won’t be a single mother.” Even though that seemed ridiculous to me, I couldn’t let Molly go through this alone.
“Are you sure?” Molly, still suspicious of this odd idea, said, “That’s a lot to ask of a friend.” I convinced her that I was serious, and later that week we went to the courts.
Two of our buddies were witnesses to the short incident. I did all I could to help Molly during her pregnancy.
It was difficult since we were both college students, but we would figure something out. I became more and more excited about being a parent every day.
But Molly wasn’t so thrilled. I sensed that she missed being able to spend time with her friends and have a normal college experience.
But as a mother, she had to give up a lot. Amelia was the most beautiful baby in the world when she was eventually born.
I became her father after falling in love with her right away. Molly loved Amelia too, and she adjusted to parenthood better than I had thought she would.
We were a beautiful little family since Amelia looked much like her mother, so no one knew she wasn’t mine.
Molly, on the other hand, lost her enthusiasm. When Amelia was five, Molly put her to bed and started crying. “I can’t do this anymore.” “I lost everything!” she cried.
“What are you talking about?” I asked her. “My youth was gone.” I should never have gotten pregnant! Molly continued.
Molly, please. You could be audible to Amelia. She’ll be in the next room! I hardly raised my voice as I spoke. “I have no interest. I want to leave this situation.
“I’m filing for divorce, and I don’t want to see any of you again,” she said, shocking me. When I urged Molly to stop and think about this, she had already packed her things and left us forever.
Our daughter had overheard the whole incident when I arrived at Amelia’s room. “Mommy left!” she cried.
“Your mother is going through a tough time right now, so she needs some time away, sweetie. I promised her that she would be coming back soon.
Unfortunately, Molly never returned, so I was left to fend for myself. A year later, Amelia would cry almost every night, and it was worse than.
I ever thought it would be. But in the end, we both got used to living alone. My daughter was the reason I was happy, and I would do whatever in my power to support her.
Molly never phoned, but she was always updating her social media pages. She was enjoying everything.
She had long missed about college life. It was party after party with her old college sorority friends. I felt awful looking at those pictures.
How could she abandon her child to go out and have fun? There was no pardon. The fact that she and Tanner had gotten back together.
A few years after her desertion made the pain considerably worse. This guy neglected to protect his kid and left her when she was most vulnerable.
I was forced to move on, but Molly decided to come back into our lives when we were doing well. “What does your desire for Amelia’s return mean?” I wondered when Molly showed up at my house out of the blue.
“I want Molly, my daughter, to live with me.” Tanner is finally ready to meet her. “She’s her dad,” she said nonchalantly.
Tanner is not her father. I am her father. “I raised her all these years, especially when you abandoned her,” was my disdainful reply.
Mark, don’t do this. I will take you to court for custody if necessary. That’s my child. Tanner and I are engaged. “She will be happy with her real family at last,” Molly said.
“I’ll see you in court then,” I shouted, throwing Molly out of my home. Amelia, who was almost a teenager by then, could sense how nervous I was.
My lawyers recommended that we settle the case out of court since the majority of judges side with the mother.
