To her credit, Gaby's mom had been an amazing mom to AJ, and AJ'd had her to himself for five years before they'd dropped the pregnancy bomb on him. It was weird because his father was handsome and women had been falling over themselves to get him since mom had died. It had tempered AJ's view on women as he thought they all just wanted power, money, and sex.
Until Ramona. She'd been so the opposite of the women who went after his dad that she was a welcome change. She helped him with homework and knew what he was struggling with and spent hours with him. Even when he'd been reluctant to let yet another woman close to him.
At first, his dad would pout about it until they, Ramona and Dad, started helping him together. They were such a good team that after a while AJ didn't need the help. AJ faked it for a while until Uncle Jacob pointed out that they would still love him even if he didn't need help.
