Little Ethan finds a stroller with a baby in a snow-covered park. Years later, fate brings them together under very unusual circumstances.
Nine-year-old Ethan trudged through the snow-laden streets of his neighborhood. He was on his way home from school, his backpack slung over his shoulder and his woolen cap pulled low over his ears.
As he passed an oak tree, a stroller in the neighborhood park caught his attention. Ethan carefully approached the stroller and stood on his toes to look inside. A cute baby stared back at him. She had a birthmark on her left cheek.
“What are you doing here alone?” Ethan asked the baby, looking around. But he didn’t see any worried parents looking for their baby.

Ethan couldn’t leave the baby alone in the cold, so he took the stroller home.
His mother panicked when she answered the door and saw him with a stranger’s baby.
“Whose baby is it, Ethan?” she asked. “Where did you find the stroller?”
Ethan told her everything. His father was home, too, and suggested calling the police.
While they waited for the cops, Ethan sat with the baby, who gurgled and played with his fingers.
Suddenly, the sharp ring of the doorbell broke the silence. His father moved quickly, opening the door.
A distressed couple stood on the doorstep. “Lily!” the woman cried, looking over Ethan’s father’s shoulder at the baby, and stormed inside.

Holding her baby, the woman sobbed while the man thanked Ethan and his family.
“It’s OK. I just saw her in the park…It was cold, so I brought her home,” Ethan shrugged.
“I can’t thank you enough for it,” the woman said.
She revealed she was walking Lily in the park when someone stole her purse. In a moment of panic, she ran after the thief, thinking she could catch him. But the guy got away. When she returned, she saw Lily wasn’t there. She told her husband what had happened, they called the cops and found Lily.
The baby’s parents expressed their gratitude and left the house with Lily. Little did Ethan know he would meet Lily again.
As Detective Martinez effortlessly drove the car through the streets, Ethan regretted his life choices. He had never imagined he would be sitting in a cop car, handcuffed.
