15 years later

Ashley Baker sat at her desk in her Journalism class room. She looked down at the picture of her and her best friend. She was too young to die. Her kids were too young to be motherless. The world just was not fair.

"Ash?" a gentle and familiar voice chirped.

"Oh, hey Marty, I'm sorry, I forgot you were coming by after school," Ashley said to the student she knew for years.

Ashley knew Martha Jones since she was only five. Martha's mother worked as a computer teacher right down the hall from her. They became good friends almost instantly. Ashley fell in love with her current four kids. They were the kids she never had. Ashley was there for her friend when she got pregnant with her fifth kid, when her husband left her, and when her own father abandoned her. Bessie Jones was the toughest women she has ever met.

"Ashley, you were a reporter once, right?" Marty asked with her green eyes shinning.

"In the good old days, yes," Ashley replied as she pulled up a chair for Marty.

Marty was the prettiest little girl Ashley has ever seen. With long, curly black hair, ivory skin, big green eyes, and petite body, Marty was unique. In a good way of course.   

"Well, mum has always told me I was her little blessing. A blessing who wasn't Kevin's daughter. I know mum produced Bobby and Lacie when she was raped when she was young but she never talked about my dad. I have been trying to track down who he could be. And now mum is dead all I have left is a strong lead," Marty said as she teared up.

"Oh birdy, I don't know how I could be of any help. Bessie never told me your dad's name. She just talked about him every now and then," Ashley said comforting the crying teen.

"But you can help me," Marty said as she wiped away her tears and pulled out a folder from her bag.

Ashley looked into the folder and saw papers and picture of different men inside.

"What is this?" Ashley asked.

"My research," Marty smiled at her work.

"This is very impressive," Ashley said in shock.

"I have a very strong lead. His name is Harry Styles. He was in the former boy band One Direction. Several months before my mum was pregnant with me, she and Harry had a relationship. Mum went off the radar after she got pregnant probably to hide from him. I tried to asking Lacie and Bobby about him but they got furious with me and told me to never speak of him again. I even heard Kevin talking about him before he left. I really do think that Harry could be my biological father," Marty explained.

"What does that have to do with me?" Ashley asked.

"Harry Styles is in town for the next two days. The only way to talk to him is through someone in the press. Can you pull some strings so I can find out if he is my father?" Marty asked with eyes shinning.

Ashley's heart went out to Marty but she knew that her father hurt Bessie, Lacie, and Bobby and would probably hurt her too. If she caused Marty heart ache she could never live with herself.

"I'll see what I can do."
