Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Sherilyn watched Jenna, nervous yet hopeful.

"Mr. Gilbert, Mommy... getting married?" Jenna repeated, not quite grasping the concept of marriage.

"Jenna..." Sherilyn's heart was in her throat, but faced with her daughter's clear eyes, she nodded, albeit nervously.

"Yes."

"Mr. Gilbert," Jenna tilted her head up and asked Gilbert, "Does that mean you're my dad now?"
