22 year old Duncan Andrews walked through the front door of a small, downtown Toronto apartment. It was full of detectives, & on the living room floor, was a woman, about Duncan's age, lying dead on the floor. There was a gun in her hand, & blood by her head. "Who's the victim?" Duncan asked, examing the body. She had shoulder length black hair, pale skin, & onyx eyes. "Gwen Scavo. 21. Suicide." A detective said. Duncan sighed. He hadn't seen Gwen in four years, since they graduated highschool. He hadn't seen most of the campers from TDI since he was 18, the only one's he stayed in contact with, was Courtney & DJ. Courtney because they were engaged, & DJ because he lived in their apartment complex. "Did she leave a note?" Duncan asked. "Yeah. But all it said was "Take care of Tatum." A cop said. "Who's Tatum?" Duncan asked. "Dunno. Probably a cat or something." A guy said. A few of them, including Duncan, laughed a bit. Then, Duncan heard something. Crying. "What the-?!" He asked, standing up. He took out his gun, & walked to where the crying was. He opened a door, & was suprised by what he saw. A nursery. A crib- everything! He walked over to the crib, & peered inside. Laying down, in blue feetie pajamas, was a was a little girl, not even 2 years old. She had sandy brown hair, & clear blue eyes, hot tears coming out. Duncan gasped. He put his gun away, & picked up the little girl, & walked towards the door. "Guys!" He called out. "What?" One yelled. Duncan stepped out of the room. "I think I found Tatum." He said.

"Her name is Tatum Riley Scavo. She's 18 months old, & her mommy shot herself. According to her birth certificate, the father is unknown. Andrews! I want you to find the father! In the mean time, I want you to take care of her. Ok?" The chief of police told Duncan. "Got it sir." Duncan said, picking up Tatum & a diaper bag full of some of her stuff (clothes, toys, food, diapers, etc.) & went home to Courtney.

"Duncan? Why do you have a kid with you?" Courtney cried. Duncan put a none crying Tatum infront of his head, & pretended to talk for her. "Hello! My name is Tatum! My mommy was on TDI with you, & she killed herself! So know, I gotta stay with you until the man who's holding me finds my daddy!" Duncan said in a silly voice. "What?" Courtney cried. Duncan put Tatum down on the couch. "Yeah... A TDI girl had a baby at 19, 20 years old, & earlier today, shot herself in the head, leaving her baby without a mom." Duncan explained. "Who?" Courtney asked. "Gwen." "Oh, my God! Do you have any clue who the dad is?" She cried. "Not one. According to the birth certificate, the father is unknown. It could be anyone from TDI, to a past boyfriend, to random guy on the street!" Duncan cried. "Hell! For all we know, he could be dead!" He added. Courtney looked at a gugling Tatum & sighed. "Her name is Tatum?" She asked. "Tatum Riley Scavo." Duncan nodded. "Well... Good practice for when we do have kids." She said. Duncan wrapped his arms around her, & kissed her forehead. "I love you Princess." He said. "I love you too." Courtney sighed, not taking her eyes off Tatum.
