Smile
She knew as soon as she saw him smile as they stood there watching their newborn daughter through the nursery window that she had never really seen him smile before. Not like this, not where it looked like he was smiling from the inside out with a heart that would probably have room for both her and the little pink bundle lying before them. She had seen him smirk and sneer and leer, but this changed his face, it changed his eyes... and it changed him.
Which is exactly how she knew that she had to give their baby to someone who could offer her the world, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars. It wasn’t a fairy tale or a fantasy. He wasn’t going to turn into Prince Charming and change her whole world with a kiss and a shiny glass slipper. They were two sixteen year olds who didn’t even know how to make themselves happy, let alone a tiny baby. She had to walk away, she had to sign her heart away on that dotted line of those adoption papers, and hope like that hell that the beautiful guy with the beautiful smile she had standing beside her would stay there for her, and love her, without the shroud of sunshine and happiness. She had to just know if it was truly him or just being stuck in a moment...
She should have known that was too good to be true.
