Story: Will develop more as I find connections. Simply put, Pete had a happy home life as a minor. He loved Rochester, went to Syracuse, was in the Dean's List every semester and he graduated with honors. When he was fresh out of college and starting his career, his girlfriend turned up pregnant. There was only one problem, Pete was pretty sure he wasn't the father. But Pete wasn't the type to blow up over this when he didn't know for sure. He stood by his girlfriend's side during her pregnancy and sure enough, with her due date and the date Denver was actually born, there was no way that Denver was his daughter. Pete was upset, after holding this beautiful baby girl in his arms, he crumbled. He called Denver's mom some things he wished he never had and she admitted to her indiscretion. The problem was that Denver's real father was someone she didn't even know. She was drunk, very drunk and this mysterious man was just passing through. She had no way of contacting him and didn't even remember his name. Finally she begged Pete to go along with it and be marked as the father on Denver's birth certificate. He reluctantly agreed, but deep down he knew he'd already fallen in love with that darling baby girl.
Fast forward a year and Denver's mom decided that since they had broken up that she didn't want to be a mom and gave up her parental rights to Pete. His biggest secret is his greatest worry and now that she's six years old, he couldn't imagine his life without Denver. But around every corner is the possibility that Denver's biological father could come into their lives and ruin everything he's worked so hard to have.
