\u201cToday, as a matter of fact,\u201d Grace said and started crying. \u201cI didn\u2019t know\u2026I didn\u2019t know about you or the children, or the baby\u2026 I found out I was pregnant, and I didn\u2019t know how to tell him\u2026\u201d t\u201cSo I went to the flea market with a friend and saw this darling stroller and I bought it. I put it in the middle of the lounge and tied balloons to it with a message: \u2018Hello Dad!\u2019\u201d \u201cBut he wasn\u2019t happy like I thought he\u2019d be. He started screaming and asking where II got the stroller and if his stupid wife had given it to me. He asked if it was a joke.\u201d He told me to take it right back, that he didn\u2019t want to know about your baby. So I told him: \u2018It\u2019s for OUR baby.\u2019 and that\u2019s when he went crazy.\u201d \u201cHe accused me of wanting to trap him and said he already had three brats with you and one more on the way, and he didn\u2019t want my baby. He told me to get out and come to you.\u201dAnne sold her beautiful vintage stroller in the flea market.\n
He said: \u2018Might as well have all the breeding cows under the same roof.\u2019 I\u2019m so sorry, I didn\u2019t know about you, I guess I didn\u2019t know him at all!\u201d Anne got up and put her arm around the crying girl. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. It\u2019s going to be okay, you\u2019ll see.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s kicked me out,\u201d Grace said quietly. \u201cI have no family here and nowhere to go. I have a job, but with the rents in this city, I can\u2019t afford to live alone, and who is going to want a pregnant roommate?\u201d \u201cI will!\u201d Anne said firmly. \u201cI need a tenant because what I earn isn\u2019t enough, and I can\u2019t work full-time because I can\u2019t afford a babysitter for after school.\u201d \u201cBut\u2026\u201d Grace\u2019s face lit up. \u201cI work online! I can take care of the kids after school. I love kids!\u201dAnne and Grace comforted each other. | Source: Unsplash Advertisement \u201cSo I can take a full-time job?\u201d asked Anne, delighted. \u201cThe owner of the grocery store wants me to manage it for him. With your help, I can! And you don\u2019t have to worry about stuff for the baby. After three kids I have enough for an army.\u201d Grace smiled through her tears. \u201cAnd we have the stroller too\u2026\u201d she pointed out. \u201cAre you sure? It\u2019s Derek\u2019s baby\u2026\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d Anne shook her head. \u201cIt\u2019s YOUR baby, and my children\u2019s sibling, that is all that matters.\u201d The two women settled into a new life together, and when Anne\u2019s baby was born, Grace was there. When it was Grace\u2019s turn four months later, Anne held her hand. They became a real family and raised their five children together.Anne and Grace raised their children together.\n

He was shocked when he saw Grace there and asked to speak to Anne. \u201cWhat do you want, Derek?\u201d Anne asked. \u201cI miss you, babe\u2026\u201d Derek said. Anne stared at him for a long moment then said, \u201cSorry, so not interested!\u201d And she closed the door in his face.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
