away. As we were dealing with her, she cried and begged me to wait until she had the baby, and then
she’d kill herself. I was hesitating when Donna showed up, she agreed to let the girl have the baby.
“Your dad didn’t know about the deal Donna made with the Pine family girl, thought we’d let her go, so

bribed the doctor to deceive your father, claiming the baby was stillborn. He was devastated for a
period of time. In return, Donna promised the girl that as long as she kept the baby a secret from your
