Sam is a 17 year old boy and has already at this age thrown himself into a matter of huge responsibility. Beeing a teenager you have issues with yourself in the path of searching yourself. But Sam doesn't only have this, he has his baby to care for additionally - Max.
Over these few chapters I got an impression of Sam as a boy who is very intelligent. He appears to be a person with a rather high status among the teenagers but is mature enough to prioritize this privilege for his own son's sake. Sam is torn between his adolescence and these high demands that is put on him. Therefore he gets overwhelmed with frustration. The "teenage life absence" seems to have really made an impact on him refering to his gloomy mood but at the same time we see a glimpse of humour when he conversed with Claire (chapter 5).Sam is eager to be acknowledged within the adult section, that he is perfectly capable of handling chores. At the day care the girls were mocking him indirectly like he wouln't know how to buy groceries. At the moment Max seems to be a burden, but we'll se in the process if the relationship is different.
Sam's Father
I got the impression of Sam's father as being somewhat cold toward Sam and the whole situation of his son having a baby. But what I presume is that his father worries about his son and don't know how to act. Sam lost his mother at early age therefore the father was struck by a mountain of responsebility. Now the same happened to Sam, he was abandoned by his girlfriend to take care of their son. Hence Sam's father is possibly grieving and frustrates because his son got to experience the same.

Stolen Confessions
Em once believed in fairytales. But just like everything else, reality took that from her, too. She learned much too early that sometimes the prince is the worst kind of villain, princesses need to know how to save themselves, and the only way to get your happily ever after is to spend it alone. -- Max has only known two things, endeavor and succeed. Born into a life of power and luxury, he has never felt what it means to want for anything. That is until he meets Em during what is meant to be a friendly cabin getaway. Now, "want" is all he knows. -- Warning ⚠️ This story contains graphic sexual content and depictions of SA, not between MCs. There is mention of mental illness, infertility, addiction, and loss. There are scenes with bondage, light impact play, dub-con(consent given while under the influence), and violence. There are also examples of toxic D/s dynamics, and relationships, that become more prominent later in the series.

The Impossibilities of Us
"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong languageComplete
