Laurel I can’t stand her but I get what she is going through. She neglected everyone which was very sad and I guess she got her daughter back in the worst way possible.

dark mysterious sad tense

---

I figured out the main plot point fairly early and as more and more pieces fell into place I had to decide if I wanted to keep going due to some sever discomfort with how the story plays out. I talked with a friend who read it and was able to determine I would finish it. 

If you are searching for Tigger warnings like I was:

non-consensual pregnancy happens with a minor. Does not go into detail but is obvious on what has occurred. Chapter 40 is where it takes place
