Little Mason was only five years old with no father. Her young single parent mother Diana, was always working late nights as a bartender to keep the bills paid. Mason hadn't seen her biological father in months as he would rarely stop by. He was either in or out of rehab, fleeing the state, or in and out of jail. The young feeble minded girl sometimes was left with Greg, the babysitter. Mason's day consist of waking up, going to Grandma's coming home to stay with Greg while she watched her mother walk out the door and head to work. Quiet gentle tears would stream down her lonely face as she would sit by the front door for hours and hours until midnight, waiting for her mother to come home. Usually she would fall asleep by the time Diana arrived home from work.

As the days went by along with Mason's usual daily routine, one night Diana decided to bring her new boyfriend home, that she had been dating for a while. He was an electrician and it just so turned out that they had a broken light-switch in their home that needed to be repaired. Mason awoke to the sound of the door opening. Excited as she was, she jumped into her mother's arms and sincerely hugged her. She poked her head up from Diana's shoulder and question who the man standing before her was. Diana explained that his name was Patrick and he was here to fix the broken light-switch. Mason quickly jumped down and approached Patrick. In the most tired yet still adorable voice, she widened her big brown eyes, looked up at him and asked
"Can you fix my pajama's? They're my favorite ones but I ripped them. My mommy's been saying shes gonna fix it, but she didn't do it yet."
It was a purple silky pajama jump suit with a picture of Jasmin from Disney's Aladdin on the front. There was a purple mesh cape wrapped around the waist, which had a slight rip in the seem. Diana and Patrick giggled as Diana brought Mason to bed.
Months and months passed by as it turned into years. Diana, Patrick and Mason all grew closer and closer ever since Patrick and Diana had gotten married. Mason also became adopted by Patrick so they could be a true family and all have the same last names. This was the start of a new family : The McIntyres. Mason wouldn't spend her lonely nights with Greg anymore, now that she had a father. Patrick and Mason would spend most of their time at the playground, getting ice cream playing board games and just hanging out. What more could a seven year old little girl ask for other than the greatest father
