There was someone that mattered more than himself, now: this warm, new little life his world revolved around. He would do anything for her- just to see her smile, hear her laugh, anything to give her the life she deserved. He wasn't perfect, and he knew this. He wasn't ready to be a parent, but he was as determined as ever to be the best he could. He also knew he couldn't raise a child all alone.

However, there was one thing he was sure of: 'help' could not come in the form of a young, cocky, high school dropout that dreamed of making it big as a rapper. Stability and support for his daughter could not come from promises of love and loyalty from a kid that sold drugs and still lived with his mother.

But often, we have to be thankful for whatever we can get.
