It'd been months since Cassander Graham had seen the man he loved, the pair dating throughout high school, but going to different colleges. Cass had promised to keep in touch, but his plan was interrupted by a little... 'problem.' Cass was pregnant, and didn't know what to do. He wanted the baby, of course, but with his dad not in the picture, and his mom not talking to him... He panicked. He hid, dropping out of college, moving away and finding a job. He was barely making ends meet when he finally decided to contact his love. It took a while for Cass to find the father of his child, finally tracking him down to his dorm on a snowy night near Christmas. Everybody was home for the holidays, the campus practically deserted. Cass held his swollen belly in one hand, the other hesitantly knocking on the door as snow flakes started to pepper his dark hair.
