I should have added, and will correct it, they are living together. From what John has said the father is a good man...and plans on being there for his child no matter what the future may bring.
Interesting story about your great-great grand parents. Your great-great grandpa sounds like he was a badass...
Both of us are not fans of hyphenated last names. My wife tried to explain to John that all that matters is the baby is healthy...for the fact that at 40 years old his daughter is pushing the window a bit in regards to birth defects.
