Maggie was in, what she would call a perfect life, with her daughter Lily and her husband Dan. They were living in their loving life filled with laughter and joy as a family.
One day, Lily found a strange doll in her toy box. The toy was not alike any other, as it had a unique vibe on it. It was wearing a dress different than any other doll, and had a necklace on it with the engraving, “Sophie.”
The doll was looking like a real baby, instead of a toy doll. Whoever made it, they must be a great craftsman, because of the realistic look the doll had.
When Maggie asked where did her daughter found the doll, Lily said that the doll was a gift from “a friend of Daddy’s.” Maggie was questioning which friend of her husband gave the doll to Lily.
Her husband was an open man, who would talk anything with his wife. He would often go to his business trips, but he was a normal man, who is working for his family.
On night, while Dan was away in one of his business trip, Maggie was examining the doll. Then she found a button under the clothes of the doll. Then Maggie pressed it. “I love you, Sophie. Remember, Daddy is always with you.”
The voice was belonging to Dan, and that revealed a hidden part of Dan’s life. After what Maggie heard, she started to think about Sophie, who was she? Why did Dan recorded this voice record, and why he put his voice in it.
In another night, again when Dan was away, Maggie searched the whole house. And in the attic, she found a box with writing, “Old Work Stuff.” In it, there were some pictures of a woman, who was holding a little girl. And that little girl, was wearing the same necklace the doll had. On the back of the photograph, it was written, “Sophie, 2015.”
Then she heard the garage door, Dan was home. He noticed that something was wrong with Maggie. She was sitting in the living room, the picture and the doll were in front of her.
“Maggie, what’s wrong? Why are you sitting in the dark?” Dan asked.
“Who is Sophie, Dan? And don’t lie to me. Not anymore.” Maggie asked immediately.
“Sophie is my daughter.” Dan said, after few seconds of shocking he felt.
“Your daughter? How? When?”
“Before I met you, I was with someone. It was serious, but it ended. I… I didn’t know about Sophie until after she was born, which was around the time we got married.” Dan said, as he was obviously stressed.
“I thought I was protecting you,” Dan said, while Maggie was crying over the story she heard.
“But why the doll, Dan? Why bring this into our home?” Maggie asked.
“Sophie’s mother, she’s struggling. She thought it was time I took more responsibility, and I guess, in a way, she wanted you to know, to force the truth out.”
On the next days, Dan and Maggie had talked a lot over the matter she discovered newly. They were thinking about a way to add Sophie into their lives, without damaging their daughter, Lily.
Later they talked with Sophie and her mother. It was a weird meeting. Lily and Sophie were simple children, who enjoyed playing with each other during the meeting. As time passed, their meetings became more frequent, and they were not feeling awkward in each other’s presence. They even celebrated Sophie’s birthday together.
Maggie and Sophie’s mother had solved their issues over their daughter’s too, they were aware that they couldn’t change the past, but they can found a way for their future, so they played along.
