The fear was what got me the most. To know that my son, my flesh and blood, was going to be here so soon, it sent a surge of something I hadn't ever felt in my life.

He was going to be relying on me, on his mother. This tiny, fragile life was going to grow up looking up to me, looking for guidance, for comfort, for...A chance.

A chance to have everything he deserved, a chance to have his dreams come to fruition and be able to stand on his own two feet one day.

I wanted Riley to get every opportunity he could in life to succeed, and I was going to do anything to give that to him.

No one would stop me.

Not now, not ever.
