Oh man the right question at the right time.
Thanks for sharing that!
I did see the father a few times after the kid was born. He told me he’d get up in the middle of the night and take the infant for a ride to stop her from crying then have to go to work in the morning. He could not stand to hear that child cry. I never saw a more loving father.
And they did get married before the child was born. In fact, I think it was within weeks of the decision to keep the baby.
This also brought the young man a lot closer to his father.
