"I can't believe we can't have kids." I whisper.

Grayson takes my hand in his as he drives with the other. "We're gonna be okay. I promise."

Once we arrive at the house, I walk into the nursery we had spent countless hours setting up. I sit in the rocking chair and look around at where our baby girl was supposed to live. Where she was gonna grow up.

Why us?

***

It's been a year since the miscarriage. I'm still messed up from it, but I've gotten better.

But it doesn't help that Grayson is gone a lot. Not for his games, though. Saying he just has to go.

I feel as if he's cheating on me. I know he wouldn't have a mistress, but it just seems like it.

As he's 'busy' once again in the night, 7:30 like usual, I sit on the couch, watching Friends. Poor Phoebe. I just want her to find her true love.

I hear the door close and smile as Grayson's home. I pause the television and turn him.

He has a stroller with a small, adorable baby sleeping in there.

"Who are you babysitting for?" I laugh a bit and walk over.

"Not babysitting. It's our child." Grayson just casually says, hanging his jacket on the rack.

"What do you mean?"

A smile fills his face. "I've been out all of those nights and days filling out for adoption papers. Them making sure I'm a good father. I told them I was single since you couldn't know, so if you hear that rumor, ignore it. I know you want a kid. It's not from our blood, but we get to raise her. That's why I haven't let you take down the nursery."

My jaw drops. "She... She's ours?"

Grayson nods.

A huge smile takes over me and I hug him. "Oh my God!"

"Are you mad?"

I cup his face in my hands. "Of course not!" I peck his lips. "I love you so much!"

Grayson smiles and looks down at our baby. I look down at her as well, my excitement has woken her up.

"She's beautiful." I say. "What's her name?"

"They said I could change her name, but I didn't wanna. Because it's my favorite name in the entire world."

I smile. "Her name is Jacquelyn?"

"Mhm." He lovingly kisses my neck softly. I kneel down and Jackie takes my finger in her small hands as she giggles.

"Hey sweetie." I whisper. "Welcome home."
