Two month have gone by since Calie has been gone and I'm still working on this case. The only thing I have to go on is her journal, the one she left on my car for me to find. She was a smart girl to write down everything that he had done to her as well as the quack that helped with the abortion.

I was glad to get the court order to search the house and at the present moment her father is in jail waiting on his trial. My plan is to put him away for a very long time, right along with the quack doctor. I also had his place searched and everything checked out. They found medication and all kinds of illegal drugs not to mention his private room in the back where apparently Calie wasn't the only one that he had done that too. There is no telling how many girls probably ended up in the hospital or died for that matter. I'm hoping that in the end some girls will step forward and make a claim but I highly doubt it because most of the time it is what they wanted.

I work long hours at work and then turn around and try to work on her case because no girl should have to go through what she had gone through. I have missed a session last week and so since Evelyn called asking me to take her I figured it wouldn't hurt to take some time out and go.

As soon as we walk in the door, everyone is talking and crying. Comes to find out Henley's baby passed away over the weekend. I hear someone say it was just an accident and then someone says that it was probably SIDS. Everyone is chatting about it. When they see me they get quite. They all know that I have been working on Calie's case.

"Ora...are you getting anywhere on the case?" Ask the Mrs. Jackson.

"We are making progress...court date is set for the fifteenth of next month. I wish I could tell you something but at the moment it's all confidential."

"Oh...we understand. We just pray you are able to put him away for a long time."

"Yeah....you and me both."

Charlotte walks in and walks right up to me. She looks scared and her voice starts to shake. "Can....can...I talk to you...alone."

"Sure." I excuse myself from the group and we walk outside. "Everything alright Charlotte?"

"Actually no...you see...Henley...well....Henley needs your help. Look she has no money for a lawyer and it's bad Ora....really bad."

I raise my eyebrow and look at her a little confused. "What's going on Charlotte?"

"You see...they are testing the baby to see what happened...and...and it was really an accident. She....she...didn't mean to hurt him." I watch as her eyes start to tear up.

"Charlotte...what are you talking about?"

"She said he was crying and he just kept on crying...she hadn't had sleep and she was exhausted and she might have shaken him too hard to get him to be quite."

"Charlotte...where is Henley?"

"She...she's at home. She refuses to come out of her room. I been going over everyday just to sit with her and today she broke down crying saying that she never meant to hurt him...she didn't mean it Ora...you have to help her."

"I don't know what you want me to do."

"Ora...she can't go to jail for it...she will die in there." She starts sobbing and I don't know if I should hug her or find a tissue...I mean if she did hurt Morgan there is a good chance that she will end up in jail. I don't know how to get her out of this. "Charlotte..." I cave in and hug her. I let her cry on my shoulder.

"I...I love her Ora...like really love her. She can't go to jail. I need her as much as she needs me."

"Ok...fine...I will see what I can do but she has got to make a statement. If the documents come back stating that it was caused by someone she is going to need a lawyer. I will try to help but I can't make any promises."

"Oh...thank you Ora....Thank you...I will go now and tell her that you will help." She turns to hug me again and then she takes off down the road.

I go back in but while everyone is talking the only thing on my mind is Henley. Evelyn has to get my attention at the end. "Hey...you ok...you acting really strange tonight? Come on it's time to go."

"Oh....sorry...just have a lot on my mind right now."

After I drop of Evelyn, I stop by the coffee shop. It's this cute little café right before you turn to go to my place. I order and sit down at a table to wait for them to fix my latte. "Ora." The girl behind the counter calls. As I stand up I bump into this guy. "Oh...I'm sorry...please excuse me." I quickly apologize.

The guy turns around and Lord and behold it's him. "Ora...oh wow...what it's been like several months now...how are you doing?"

"I'm good...I'm fine...I'm...how are you doing?" I walk past him to grab my latte and really trying to ignore him more than anything.

"I have been doing alight."

When I turn back around he looks down and then back up at me. He has this really puzzled expression on his face. Before he says anything I smile. "Well it was good to see you. I got to go."I was hoping to get out of there without having to carry on a full blown conversation with him for why I look the way I do. I am almost to my car when he comes up right behind me.

"Is that what I think it is? Are you...is it mine?" He stumbles over his words.

I turn back around and look at him right in the eyes. "Julian...look...it happened alright. I didn't plan for any of this to take place and don't worry alright you don't have to do a thing."

"You sure it's mine?" He says almost in shock...like he wants it to be his.

"Yes...I haven't been with anyone in months and the last two times was with you...but don't worry I'm not going to ask you for anything." I open the car door but he shuts it back. I take a deep breath. I never planned on him finding out.

"Ora."

I turn and put my hand on his chest. I look up at him. "Stop...you didn't mean for this to happen...I didn't either. I am in the process of looking for very loving parents that will raise her. She will be fine...you don't have to worry."

"Wait...what...you are giving it up?"

"Don't look at me like that, Julian...surely you don't want this...I don't want this. I never planned on being a mom. I have my career. I have so much going on..."

He interrupts me, "I have a lot going on too...but if this is mine...I want to take responsibility for it. You can't just give it away like it means nothing."

"I didn't say it didn't mean anything. See this is why you didn't need to know. I am having the baby alright...I just don't plan on keeping it. I have a great family picked out...you don't have to worry...now please will you let me get in the car."

"No...No...Ora...I will take the baby...I will raise it on my own if I have to but you are not giving up our baby."

"Like you have a say in the matter." I huff. I thought about throwing my Latte on him but that would be such a waste.

"As a matter of fact I do...I know my rights as a father...I will take you to court over this. That is my baby just as much as it is yours and I will not give up my rights."

I shake my head...you got to be kidding me. "Are you serious...you really want to give up everything...for this?" I place my other hand on top of my small bump.

"Yeah...I will. Ora...please don't give it up."

"I will think about it alright."

"Good...I will talk to you later in the week. We can go over all the details." He opens the car door for me.

I just nod and get in. He shuts the door and as I leave a freaking tear falls silently down my cheek. What the hell...Why did I have to bump into him of all people...why him.
