They were still just kids themselves—James and Charlotte, 17 years old, still figuring out life, still fumbling through heartbreak and hope. But on a rainy Tuesday morning, all of that faded into the background the second they heard their baby cry for the first time.
Benjamin Faylor was born with a full head of dark hair, curious eyes, and a cry that somehow made everything real.
James held his son and felt the weight of the world settle on his shoulders—but also something else: purpose. He’s not just a teenager anymore. He’s a father now. Every decision he makes from here on out is for Benjamin.
Charlotte, exhausted and emotional, hasn’t stopped looking at him since. She’s scared, but she’s never been more sure of anything in her life: Benjamin is hers, and he’s everything.
It’s not the life they imagined. They still live in James’s tiny childhood bedroom. They take turns staying up all night with a baby who refuses to sleep. Their friends have started disappearing. Their futures feel uncertain.
But Benjamin? He’s the beginning of something new. Something worth fighting for.
This legacy didn’t start with a mansion or a perfect career.
It started with love. And now—it continues with family.

They have to mature by force and be attentive to the baby, who is a part of their being and the most important part of their lives. Congratulations to the young parents.
