Prologue:

"What do mean you're leaving?

I'm pregnant, with your kid!

You can't just walk out on us!!!" All three statements were delivered in a scared and angry tone at a man in his late 20's.

"What's there to explain? I can't handle this life anymore, a kid would only make it worse." The man replied to the woman, also in her late 20's who had first spoken.

"What do mean, what's there to explain? You're walking out on us!!!"

"I'm sorry, but that's kind of what I'm doing. I have to go now." He started walking towards the door.

"Oh no you don't Jacob Patrick Foss; you get your ass back in this house! The woman screamed.

"I'm sorry Alice." The man now identified as Jacob replied sadly as he ran out the door into the dark and starless night, out of Alice's and her, soon to be born, child's lives.

Alice collapsed to her knees sobbing, "What am I going to do now?"

2 months later:

"Push, come on, keep pushing!"

Gasps of pain could be heard as two women were seen, one in a hospital bed covered in beads of sweat, and the other wearing typical doctors clothes.

"The heads almost out, keep it up, you can do it!" The doctor continued talking to the patient.

With a final gasp of pain the woman in the bed collapsed from exhaustion as the doctor congratulated her.

"Let's see here, congratulations, you are now a proud parent of a very healthy young boy."

Suddenly a young trainee rushed in, "Oh Doctor Victor, I am so sorry I missed the birthing!" she apologized as she attempted to explain how badly she had needed to use the restroom.

The trainee then turned around to the woman in the bed, "Ah, how are you Alice, would you like us to find your husband-"

Alice interrupted her, "I don't have a husband."

The trainee looked a t her clipboard confused, "But it says on here that-"

This time Doctor Victor interrupted her, "Please give Alice some peace right now, she just gave birth after all."

"Oh, of course." The trainee replied and left the room to go find some paperwork.

"Now", the doctor asked, "do you have you have a name for your son?"

"Thomas Jacob Foss, after his father." Alice replied softly.
