Emily Carson didn't expect to start over with a diaper bag on one shoulder and a baby on her hip, but life rarely follows the script. After Lily's father walked out, Emily's world narrowed to bottles, sleepless nights, and trying to remember who she was before motherhood turned everything upside down.

Then she meets Josh-a single dad with tired eyes, a steady voice, and a toddler who throws cereal like confetti. Their first conversation is awkward, honest, and just quiet enough to feel like the beginning of something real. What starts as shared strollers and playground banter slowly unfolds into laughter across kitchen counters, whispered truths during rainy walks, and the discovery that maybe love doesn't need grand gestures to matter.

But when the past circles back, bringing unresolved choices and unexpected visitors, Emily is forced to ask herself what kind of future she's truly ready for. In a world full of messy rooms, tangled routines, and hearts still healing, is it possible to choose something simple-and still call it extraordinary?

Diapers and Dating is a tender, emotionally rich story about second chances, unexpected connection, and the quiet beauty of building love right where life finds you.
