Katie Goris was lost in her art, the mid-morning light casting a warm glow on her sketches. Baby Sunshine, engrossed in building a castle with her blocks, was a testament to Katie's creativity – and a reminder of an unexpected turn of events.
As Katie glanced at her daughter, pride shone through her eyes. What was meant for evil turned out for good. She thought back to the tumultuous times, the attempts to abort this child... and how Baby Sunshine had cling to life.
"I'm thankful," Katie whispered, her voice barely audible over the birds chirping.
Her phone buzzed – Eric Crown. Katie smiled, thinking of their unconventional love story. It wouldn't be complete without their bundle of joy.
"Hey," she answered softly.
Eric's deep voice came through. "Hey, beautiful. How's my girls?"
Katie's grin widened. "We're good. Sunshine's building an empire with blocks."
Eric chuckled. "Sounds like her mom's creative genes kicking in."
