A/n this story is based on some ideas from ChillPillBerry. Some of the plot is hers but I've taken her requested prompts and am making it into my own story. I don't know how long this will be. This is my first GMW fic, so be nice.

Maya Hunter yawned as she stumbled towards the door. She was running late and needed to go to meet her best friend Riley Matthews so they could go to school. Her parents had left early so the 16-year-old was on her own. Opening the door, she turned to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything when a noise caught her attention. Glancing down she saw a tiny baby swaddled in a blanket just in front of the door. The newborn began to cry. Reaching out she gently picked up the tiny baby and noticed that an envelope was attached to the blanket. It took her a moment to realize that her name was scrawled across it. Quickly she walked back inside and carefully placed the now calm baby on the couch while she removed the letter and opened it. Unfolding the paper, she began reading.

"Maya, I know the last time we saw each other I told you that you were going soft and I basically dared you to damage that statue, but you didn't. Well unfortunately I'm not as good as you and I got mixed up with the wrong guy. We had sex and I got pregnant. My mom threw me out and Carla abandoned me she said her mom didn't want her hanging out with a pregnant high school dropout. I can't raise the baby and her father ran when he found out I was pregnant. I'm going to Oklahoma where I can get a new start, but I wanted to make sure the baby girl had a good start before I left. Maya, I want you to raise her. She doesn't have a name. She was born April 6, 2017 at 11:21 AM. She weighs seven pounds six ounces and is 19 inches long. The doctors say she is fine. Please take her and raise her right. Your friends are the right kind of people she needs to be around. Please don't try and find me. You won't succeed. Have a good life and love that little girl like I know you can. Renee." Finishing the letter Maya stared in shock at the tiny baby snuggled on the couch next to her. Carefully she picked her up and cradled her in her arms.

"I guess I'm your mommy now," she murmured as she grabbed her phone and texted Riley. She had to let her know she wouldn't be at school today. Then she called Shawn. She knew that she would need to tell her parents what was going on and she figured her stepfather would be the best one to start with.

"Hello?" came Shawn's voice.

"Hi Shawn, I have a problem and I need your help," she started trying not to sound to freaked out.

"Maya? Aren't you supposed to be at school? What's wrong, are you hurt is Riley okay?" Shawn asked clearly worried about his daughter and her best friend.

"As far as I know Riley's fine, but I have a problem. I'm not hurt, though. I have a baby some one left on our doorstep. They want me to raise her as my own. I think I want to but I'm not sure if I can or if you or Mom will let me," she explained in a rush.

"Wo, wo, back up just a moment. You found a baby on our doorstep and the person who left it wants you to raise it?" he asked clearly confused.

"Raise her," Maya corrected. "It's a little girl, she's only three days old but apparently is fine and healthy."

"Do you know who left her?" Shawn wondered.

"Do you remember Renee? The girl who I ran into at the park when I went to try and find myself last year?" Shawn nodded before remembering that Maya couldn't see him.

"Yeah I do."

"Well she's the one who gave birth to her. Apparently, she is going to Oklahoma to stay with an aunt. She needs a fresh start and can't/won't take the baby. The father bailed the moment the pregnancy was confirmed. For some reason she thinks I would be the best one to raise the little girl. I think I want to do it. I know what it feels like to have people abandon me and I don't want her to experience any more of that than she already will." Shawn blew out a long breath. That was a lot to process.

"Wow, I'm not sure if you raising her is the right thing but we need to let your mom in on this. Then we can make this decision as a family. You know that raising a baby won't be easy, don't you? I mean if we all agree to let you do this. She didn't mean that you're to help her find a home instead of you raising her, did she?" Shawn had to ask.

"No, she was adamant that it had to be me. She doesn't want to be found either," Maya concluded.

"Okay, well sit tight. I'm going to call your mom and fill her in. Did she come with anything?"

"I'm not sure, once I saw her, I didn't think to look for anything else. Getting up with the sleeping baby in her arms Maya made her way to the door and opened it. Glancing down she saw a diaper bag. Picking it up she carried it back to the couch and looked inside. "There is a diaper bag with a couple changes of clothes, some formula a couple of bottles and some diapers and wipes but not very much," Maya reported.

"Okay, I'll call your mom and grab a few things. We'll both be home as soon as we can. I love you, Maya, you know that?"

"Yeah, I love you to, Shawn, see you soon," Maya said hanging up. Just then the little girl began crying and Maya noticed that her diaper felt wet.

"Let's get you changed and fed while we wait on Mom and Shawn to get here," Maya soothed as she headed to change the baby and get her settled back down.

A/n, slow going I know but this is mostly from someone else's prompts so I'm trying to figure out where I want it to go. Please R/R.
