*You will need tissue*

Everything stopped. Time stopped. Had Hank just heard his daughter correctly? She was pregnant at 14. He remained standing frozen in his spot trying to process the words. If he knew he had a pretty good guess at who the father was. That enraged him even more.

"Daddy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen" Jordan told her father, her voice cracking up.

Without a word Hank left the room, Jordan's eyes widened.

"No. Daddy please don't leave. I'm sorry!"

Erin and Trudy chased after him while Will stayed with her. Jordan looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"I told you I shouldn't have told him. Now he hates me. This is all your fault"

"He doesn't hate you honey. He's just in shock. I'm sure Erin and Trudy can get through to him"

Hank had made it to his car when he was called.

"Hank! Stop!" Erin called.

He turned to see them. "I have something to do. Stay with Jo"

"Hank, she needs you right now," Trudy says. "She's terrified and needs you"

"You going off like this, it's scaring her more than what she is. It took a hell of a lot of courage for her to tell you because of how terrified she is. Jordy needs you more than ever right now Hank" Erin went on. "Deal with Kyle later. Right now. Go be with your daughter"

"Go be with her Hank" Trudy encouraged him, hoping he'd listen.

The older man sighed. He'd been so hopped up in anger and going at Kyle he forgot his daughter. He went back in the hospital with his little girl.

Jordan just remained in Will's hold, he tried to calm her so she wouldn't get too stressed. Had her father turned her back on her? Was she about to do this alone? So much was racing through her head.

Hank walked in the room, the doctor and teen both looked to see him. Will knew this should be a private moment with them. He excuses himself.

The teen felt her lip wobble again. "You came back"

"Of course I did. I'd never leave you, you know that" He said, going to sit next to her.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry daddy"

Without a second thought he pulled her in for a hug as she cried again. When he stormed out earlier he hadn't known his daughter was terrified and needed him.

He was so bent on anger and revenge he forgot his little girl. Her life was once again turned upside down and was about to change in a matter of months.

"I'm sorry baby, I never meant to make you feel anything when I left earlier. I didn't leave because of you. I was going to go talk to Kyle"

"It's not just his fault. It's mine too. I was drunk that night, I was high. I didn't know if we had used anything. Not to mention I lied about my age. I said I was 21"

"He still should have known better"

"I don't know what to do dad. I'm only 14. I don't know anything about taking care of a baby. I'm just learning to retake care of myself, I don't know anything about a baby. I barely knew how to change Daniel's diapers. What should I do? Tell me what to do daddy"

This was killing Hank, hearing his little girl scared and seeing the fear in her eyes. He didn't know what to do in a situation like this. God what he wouldn't do to have Anna with him. She would know what to do.
