"No- Sarah please, I said I was sorry"
"Sorry's not gonna cut it, that's the last time you raise your hand at me."
"You can't do this to me, give me another chance"
"I've given you countless chances William, you didn't deserve any of them, I should've left the first time."
"YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ME YOU STUPID BITCH!" He slapped her across the face.
"I-If I ever see you again, I won't hesitate to call the cops, and that's a promise"

"Could I stay with you Henry?"
"Of course..what happened to your face?"
"Nothing important"

...

"You're pregnant?"
"I'm sorry, I can leave-"
"No, stay, that can't be easy on your own"
"Thank you."

...

"Oh she's adorable, what's her name?"
"Charlotte Elisabeth Emily"
"Charlotte, what a beautiful name," Henry smiled, gently touching her hair.

...

"Why does he get to see her and I don't? That's my goddamn baby Sarah!" He yelled at her through the phone.
"Because he's a better man than you'll ever be, I don't want her growing up wondering why her father hits her mother, I don't want her to think that it's normal, because it isn't, you don't deserve to have her in your life William. She may be your biologically, but she isn't yours, she never was and never will be."

"Say mommy"
"Enwy"
"No, mommy, say mommy"
"Enwy"
"Henry, I think she's saying your name"
"Really? Say it again Char, say Henry"
"Enwy!" Henry laughed softly.
"Yeah, that's it kid"

"Put on your dress Charlie"
"No!"
"No? Why not?"
"No. I don't wanna"
"You have to look pretty, it's your first day of school"
"No pretty." Charlotte ripped off her bow, throwing it on the ground.
"Well what do you want to wear?"
"Like dad"
"Like dad..?" Charlotte nodded, pointing to Henry who was in a sweater and jeans.
"Okay, like..dad"

...

"So she's a bit of a tomboy, that's okay, maybe it's just a phase," Henry shrugged.
"I don't know Henry, she told me that she didn't want to be a girl, I don't think that's a normal thing kids say"
"Let's take her to a doctor then, they'll ought to know what's going on"
"Alright.."

Charlotte ran into the room, scissors in one hand and hair in the other.

"Mommy I look like dad now"
"Oh god. What did you do to your long hair Charlie.."
"It's here," she held out the hand that had her hair in it.

Sarah looked to Henry for help.

"I've got this. Hey Char, let me fix you up kid, it'll look real nice when I'm done"

...

"I look like a boy!" Charlie jumped up and down excitedly.
"You want to look like a boy?"
"I'm a boy mommy"
"No, baby, you're a girl"
"I'm a boy!" Charlie began to cry.
"Okay- okay, you're a boy"

...

"I believe your child is transgender ma'am"
"Transgender? What is that?"
"It's when you don't feel comfortable with the gender you were assigned with at birth, you're..how do I say this..it's like you're born in the wrong body"
"You're saying Charlie was born in the wrong body?" The doctor shook his head.
"I'm saying that Charlie is, and I think it's best to listen if you want a happy kid"
