I fell for Molly the second I saw her. She was gorgeous, but that didn’t stop her boyfriend from leaving her when she got pregnant. She cried on my shoulder. I was madly in love, so I asked her to marry me. I just wanted to be there.
Molly hated every second of her pregnancy. I hoped she’d warm up after the baby was born. But when Amelia came into the world, Molly just complained, missing her old life. She barely cared for the kid. But Amelia? She was my whole world, my light.
We lived this weird life for 5 years until one day, Molly dropped the bomb: “I want a divorce! I’m so over you and that little girl! I wish I’d never had her!”
That was it for me too. Just a month later, she was back with Tanner — the same guy who ditched her! While Amelia and I struggled, Molly was partying like she wanted.
So, my child and I had just started to rebuild our lives when Molly showed up again:
Her: “Tanner’s finally ready to be a dad. Hand over my daughter.”
Me: “Are you freaking serious?! She’s my daughter. I was here when you were off doing God knows what!”
Her: “What court would ever take your side?! She’s our child by blood. You’re nothing to her!”
