Things only went from bad to worse. The baby, a girl, had been born early and I wasn't allowed to see her despite her being rather poorly. It would be a month before the DNA test was back and until then I was beside myself with worry.

Emma wouldn't answer my calls and had threatened to get the police involved. There was nothing I could do. My friends tried their best to support me but I found myself in a deep hole with no way out. I tried not to feel sorry for myself when that baby had bigger problems.

If she was mine and I missed these first incredibly difficult and precious moments, I would never forgive myself. I didn't even know her name. I didn't know how much she weighed. I knew nothing other than her mother was adamant that I never got to meet her even if she was mine.

Was there even any point in me being alive?
