Prologue
"He's fourteen David! How are we sure it's even his?" He could hear his mother in the other room talking to his father.
He just looked down at the baby swaddled in pink in his arms, she was only a week old… his baby he heard his father yell that she looked just like him. I was true, same dark hair and eyes, tanned skin. This was his baby; she looked nothing like any other guy in school. No this was his daughter.
"He can't take care of a baby!" She yelled.
"Not by himself but we're here to help him. That's our granddaughter out there I'm not going to let her be brought up in an orphanage." He practically growled.
Adriana's mother was orphaned since she was five and living with her aunt. When her aunt had found out she was pregnant she'd told the girl she could live in her house until she had the baby but after that she would be made to leave the house with the baby. Emily had died giving birth to Adriana and her aunt hadn't wanted anything to do with the baby.
He told his parents it was his baby, because she was, his father went that very day to collect the baby and bring her home he even named her since no one else had she was still labeled 'baby girl A' at the hospital.
So he named her for his mother and hers, she was Adriana Emilian Bautista. Addy was born on June the twenty-third of nineteen eighty-three a tiny seven pounds and twenty inches long. Emily had been all stomach during the time she was pregnant and it really hadn't surprised anyone but him when she'd died.
He looked at Adriana she was such a good baby, his baby, and he loved her more then he thought he could. He heard his mother slam the back door and knew his father would sit down for a beer to think before he did anything else.
David Sr. came into the room seeing David Jr. sunk into the chair the baby was laying on his chest asleep her little nose scrunched up a little bit just like it had been when he first saw her, asleep at the hospital. "Don't worry kids, I'll make sure you won't be separated again… You'll be good for each other." He said, sure of himself on that point at least.
