---15 years and 6 months ago---
"David, I have something I need to tell you." Said a young, good looking woman with curly, dark brown hair and green eyes. She looked to be about 22 years old at most. She had come out of the kitchen, speaking to a man of about 35 years with medium-length bleach blonde hair and icy blue eyes. The man was sitting on the couch, and muted the TV. as she came in.
"Yes, Kay, sweetheart, what is it?" David said to the young lady previously married to his best friend. She had been divorced by that same best friend two months ago after having an affair with David, taking her young, barely 2 year old son with her. She was now living with David, who had been widowed five months ago, his wife leaving him behind one son at about 2 years of age as well.
"Well, I have some… news, for you, David." She told him, sitting on the armrest of the couch beside him.
"What is it, baby?" He asked.
"Um, yea, see that's exactly it. Baby." She said, and he looked at her, confused, so she continued. "As in, we're going to have one." She breathed.
"Oh, oh my god!" He said, kissing her on the lips. "That's great. For how long?"
"About three months now." She told him. "I just took a pregnancy test this morning."
"That's wonderful." He said, pulling her into his lap.
"But… we're not married. People will talk…" She said.
"Well… you can have the baby, and then we'll get married, Kay. It will take too long to arrange a wedding on such short notice. Don't worry, sweetie, everything will be fine."
---6 months later---
Needless to say, everything was not fine. While giving birth to this child, Kay Elizabeth Simms died. David Garwin was devastated at his bride-to-be's tragic death, left with his bastard daughter, his son, and Kay's son to take care of. As news of the daughter who was born of an unmarried couple spread through the town, the young baby's name was dragged through the mud for something she had no control over.
---Years later---
By the time she was 10, she just up and left to live with her Aunt Phoebe Hayes in New Jersey. She come back to stay with her family for a year when she was eleven, but after that, she just randomly left and did not return for four years.
Needless to say, the life of Olivia Kay Simms- Garwin, was complicated.
So, what do you think of the idea? I'll get into the story next chapter. R&R!
