hat his mother had just told him. “Ma, you should have told me this before,” he said, getting up from his seat.“I never felt the need to tell you about it, son, until I saw Stephanie leave today,” Margaret said. “You shouldn’t have asked her to abort the baby. If I had done the same, you wouldn’t be here.”“You’re right, Ma,” Frank said, reflecting with heavy regret before putting on his jacket. “I’ll go get her back.”Frank left the house and began searching for his daughter on the streets.

“There she is,” Frank thought to himself when he saw Stephanie sitting on a bench with her face buried in her hands. “Hey, Stephanie!” Frank shouted.
“Dad?” Stephanie looked at him with tears in her eyes.
“I’m really sorry for what happened earlier, sweetheart,” Frank said and hugged his daughter.
Then, he shared with her everything Margaret told him and asked her to return home. “We will raise your child together, Stephanie. No one will ask you to get rid of your baby,” he assured her.
Eventually, Stephanie accepted her father’s apology and returned home with him. During the next few months, Frank took care of his daughter and ensured she had everything she needed to stay healthy and give birth to a beautiful, hale, and hearty boy.
