Unexpected Reunion with a Daughter
My name’s Ian, and I’m 33, married to Jenna, and we’re expecting our first child. One snowy evening, while preparing hot cocoa for Jenna, a 15-year-old girl appeared at our door, shivering and asking for help. She was wrapped in a blanket, clearly frightened, and refused to call the police.
After she used the bathroom, I found her ID card and realized she was Kenzie Jane Rutherford, the daughter of my high school girlfriend, Dorothy, who had left me years ago. Kenzie explained that after Dorothy’s death, her father, Wesley, abandoned her upon discovering she wasn’t his biological daughter.
We took Kenzie to the hospital for a DNA test, and the results confirmed she was my daughter. Tearfully, I apologized for not being there, but Kenzie reassured me. Jenna, moved by the moment, asked, “What now?” I smiled, offering, “How do you feel about pizza?”
