I did not dote in my son. He studied well, helped me, was a well-mannered and exemplary boy. When Jack told me he was going to work, I was so worried. I didn’t want to be alone.
– What about Sarah? – I asked my son about his girlfriend.
– We broke up.
I was surprised, because I thought it was going to be a wedding. They looked really good together. Of course, I was upset that everything ended so sadly, but in their relationship did not pry.
My son went away. We talked to each other regularly. He found work, friends, and soon his love. I had no choice but to wait to meet this “love. True, my son was in no hurry to introduce us. I got myself a kitten and took care of it.
One day I was coming back from work and heard a soft whisper:
– Hello!
I looked up and saw the silhouette of Sarah in the dark. She was holding a baby in her arms.
– Girl, what are you doing here? What kind of baby in your arms?
– You can judge me, but this is your granddaughter. I was afraid to tell Jack about the pregnancy because we broke up on a bad note. I went back to my mom’s and had my baby there. Mom died a month ago, and I have no other relatives. So I came to see you.
– What are your plans, anyway?
– I guess I’ll have to give my kid to an orphanage. I don’t even have a place to live. I just came... If anything happens to me, you can visit your granddaughter, please.
– Don’t be silly. We’ll raise her together. Let’s go to my place.
So I took Sarah and her daughter in. The little girl was very similar to her son, so I did not doubt the girl’s words. Sarah helped me around the house, and I earned money – we lived pretty well. And then Jack called and said he’d be here soon. I didn’t know if he would be alone or not. My son didn’t want to answer that question.
When Jack arrived, I was just feeding the little girl.
– Oh, who’s that handsome one we have?
– Son, it’s your daughter.
– Wow. And I’m not alone either,” Jack said and brought the cradle into the apartment.
– And who is this?
– That’s my son. His mother died in childbirth, I couldn’t leave him.
Sarah went out into the hallway and looked at Jack for a long time. They talked alone all evening – I didn’t interfere in their affairs. But the main thing is that a year later we got married and the two children grew up in a full family.
Now my son is building a big house to move out of his cramped apartment. I’ll also tell you a secret that very soon I will have my third grandchild. What a blessing!
