I called her; explained who I was and why I was calling. She was hurt and didn't want to have anything to do with me; I think it was because we're pretty much the same age. Somehow that didn't seem right to her. You know, her dad with a girl the same age as his daughter. I gave her my number anyway and told her my due date. After the baby was born, I called again; this time, she at least thanked me for letting her know.
I've graduated from a local college and got a good job; so I have my own place now. It's in the same complex as my sister's apartment -- Karen's the one who found it for me. I think she wants to keep an eye on me; you know, after all that's happened.
Harriet was born a year ago, today. It's her first birthday and Karen insisted on having a little party for the baby at her apartment; Harriet's sister, Alice, is coming by later to celebrate with us.
Harriet is such a sweet baby and I wish I could say she looks, or acts, just like her dad ... but I hardly knew him ... I don't even have a picture of him. Memory is such a fragile thing; I can scarcely conjure up his sweet face anymore as I lie awake at night and think about how briefly our paths through the universe crossed.
I still cry; I cry that I never had the chance to love him the way I longed to love him. I cry because he never got to see the baby we created. I cry because his child will never know her father. But most of all ... I cry because I still love him so, and miss him more than I can tell.

Anonymous5 months agoI accidentally tripped across another story by this author called Blackmail Saga and I loved it. That made me try this story which I also thought was fantastic. This author has a real chatty and engaging style that makes me really like the characters that are created. I plan on sampling some more stories, and I sure hope this author keeps writing new stories.
Anonymous7 months agoAn emotional tragedy isn't what draws people to Literotica. And the ending wasn't what I expected at all - although once the police were mentioned, it was pretty clear where this was headed. Despite that, I really enjoyed this story - enough that this is my first ever comment on a story - and I gave it the full 5 stars.
Anonymousover 2 years agoDefinately 5. Yeah not all goid stories end with "they lived happily ever after". I generally don't like tragedy. BUT you brought it off very well and you certainly were a 5 both through out. There were a couple of typos here and there but even with spell and style checkers and editors they can still slip through. Kerp up the great work
