came back, checked him and told them he could go home. She handed them his discharge papers.
    He got up and started getting dressed. Kay helped him get dressed and whispered. “Don’t ever scare me like that again.” She kissed his lips.
    He waited in the wheelchair for Kay to pull around with the car. When they pulled up to his house, his parents Mercedes was parked in front.
    “You need to tell them the truth.”
    He got out of the car. “I did tell them the truth. She’s my daughter, so that makes her their grandd aughter, and my parents wouldn’t care any way,” h e said, holding the car door open.
    “If that’s true, why won’t you tell them?” she asked, getting out the driver’s side.
    He ignored her as he walked to the house. He opened the door and waited for her to wobble inside. His parents had lunch waiting for them.
    “Thank you, I’m really hungry,” Kay said.
    “You’re eating for two,” Jacob said. “Son, how are you feeling?” Jason was the spitting image of his father. He had the same baby blue eyes, nose and lips. The only difference was his father’s silver hair.
    “I’m ok. Nothing some pills and Kay can ’t take care of,” he answered.
    His dad started laughing and hugged Kay and said, “Thank you. Let’s eat.”
    They ate and talked about the accident, the insurance company, and how grateful everyone was that he was ok. His parents cleaned up and said their goodbyes.
    “We will be calling you guys later.”
    Kay got up and kissed Jason on the forehead. “You have the greatest parents. I wish my parents were still here.” Her parents passed away when she was fifteen. She’d inherited enough money to put her through college and help her through some hard times.
    “Where is that music coming from?” Jason asked.
    “It sounds like lullabies.”
    She went down the hall, and he followed, as they got closer to one of the bedrooms, the music got louder. Jason opened the door. To their surprise, the room was decorated with Precious Moments angels, and the walls were painted in pink with clouds on the ceiling. There was a white rocking chair near a big white crib with a matching dresser and changing table. There were stuffed animals everywhere. It was a kid’s dream.
    They entered the room and found a note on the rocking chair.
    We love you guys, and since you didn’t want a baby shower, we got you everything you will need for our grandbaby.
    L ove Mom & Dad.
    Kay walked up to the closet and pulled it open to find it was full of baby clothes from zero to twelve months, diapers, wipes, and baby shoes.
    Kay walked up t o Jason. “I can’t accept this.”
    “Why?”
    “You know why. Yo u need to tell them the truth.”
    He hugged her. “My dad knows,” he whispered in her ear.
    She pulled back and stared at him . “What did you say?”
    “I said my d ad knows the truth.”
    “When?”
    “I told my dad a couple of months ago. When you told me you were pregnant, I needed someone to talk to about my feelings. When Tommy told you to have an abortion, my dad was the one that convinced me to stop you. He made me see what I knew was there all along. He’s ok with this. My dad said, if I love you, I would love your daughter and he would love and hold her as his own too.”
    “ What about your mom?”
    “Dad will tell her in time.”
    Kay turned. “She will find out when she’s born.”
    “How do you know that?” he asked, “You don’t know how she’s going to look. Didn’t you tell me Tommy is half black, half Puerto Rican? That’s the beauty of genes. You never know, and if it comes to that, we will tell her. I don’t care how she looks. She can be dark chocolate, caramel, or vanilla. I will still love her and you.”
    He called his parents and let them know how thankful they were.
    She looked at him, smiling. “What if I don’t want to stay here? Can I take everything and go?”
    “You’re kidding, right?”
    She smi led, pulled him close. “Yes, I’m
