Adam Reed has always been grateful to Val Roberts for taking him in off the streets. He does his best to protect her daughter Amber. She's a handful and a master at making bad decisions. He does his best to live up to his role of protector. But this time, he may have taken it too far. Will he lose the woman he loves because of his decision? Will he lose his chance at being a father to his unborn baby? Beth Rogers has always supported Adam and his decisions where Amber is concerned, she disagrees with them, but he's going to do what he feels is right. His latest decision is a hard one to swallow, harder still is seeing Amber walking around free everyday.
