Sometimes, children are truly a "miracle," and they can be born from great love at a distance. We've prepared an incredible story that proves it!

The Mystical Birth of a Child

29-year-old Daisy Link gave birth to a baby girl on June 19 while serving time at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade, Florida. Link’s pregnancy puzzled her family, who suspected she had been s*xually assaulted.

However, it turned out that the father of the child was another inmate, 23-year-old Joan Depaz, from a solitary confinement cell... but how was this even possible? They were both locked in solitary cells...

The Parents Never Met

It turned out that the two had never actually met face-to-face. When Depas was asked if they had ever touched each other, he replied, "Never, like the Virgin Mary."

And that turned out to be the shocking truth. When everyone refused to believe this could be possible, a DNA test settled all doubts—the father of the girl was indeed Joan Depas... but how did conception happen? It’s nothing short of mystical!

2 Years Ago Daisy Had No Idea How Her Life Would Change

It was a seemingly ordinary Friday more than 2 years ago...Daisy Link never could have imagined her life would take such a dramatic turn. Like many young people, she decided to try online dating. That’s where she met Max, a guy who seemed perfect for her—a charming, sweet, and romantic guy who made her feel special. 

Their conversations started out innocently enough but before long, Max was showering her with compliments and sweet words. Daisy thought she’d finally found someone who truly understood her.

The Mystery Behind Max: Who Was He Really?

Although their connection grew, Daisy had never actually seen Max in person. They exchanged messages but the photos he sent were blurry and a little odd. Still, Daisy didn’t think much of it. He seemed nice enough, and they had such an emotional connection. 

He’d talk about his life, his dreams, and he even sent her flowers to make her feel special. Daisy was swept away by the romance—after all, he was making all the right moves. But what she didn’t know was that Max wasn’t just a regular guy. His life had a dark side that would soon turn her world upside down.

The Night That Would Change Everything

Excited about meeting him, Daisy got ready for their date. She carefully chose a sexy, form-fitting dress that showed off her figure. She Facetimed her friend, asking for advice on what to wear, and chatted about how nervous and excited she was. 

It was supposed to be a fun, casual night at the bar—just a simple first date. But when she arrived, she had no idea that this night would mark the beginning of a series of events that would change everything.

The Long-Awaited Meeting

When Daisy saw Max for the first time, she was surprised by how different he looked from the pictures he’d sent. But she didn’t let that throw her off. 

The night started well—they had a drink, laughed, and talked. Everything seemed to be going fine... At that time the girl did not suspect that this acquaintance would lead her to prison...

A Perfect First Date – Or So It Seemed

Daisy was on cloud nine after her date with Max. He was everything she had hoped for—charming, attentive, and so gallant. The night went smoothly, full of laughter and interesting conversation, and by the end, he made sure she got home safely, calling a taxi for her with a kind smile.

Daisy felt like the luckiest girl in the world. The way he treated her, the way he listened—it all seemed too good to be true. But like all great romances, things are rarely as perfect as they first appear.

A Sweet Surprise

The very next day, Max sent Daisy flowers—an elegant bouquet that arrived at her apartment with a note that simply said, “Can’t stop thinking about you.” Daisy was thrilled. She couldn’t wait to tell her best friend about the gesture, and immediately Facetimed her to share the details. 

"He’s different, you know? He’s not like the others. He’s got this kindness about him," Daisy said, practically glowing. Her friend was happy for her but also teased her about falling too fast. Daisy, however, didn’t want to listen. But in vain...

Romance Blossoms

As the days passed, Daisy and Max’s relationship seemed to bloom in the most romantic way possible. They talked every day—texts, calls, late-night conversations that lasted hours. Max shared bits about his life, though they were always a little vague, just enough to keep her intrigued. Daisy was more than happy to fill in the blanks with her own imagination.

After all, he was so thoughtful, sending her more flowers, little surprises, and sweet, unexpected messages. She started to wonder if this could be the real thing. After all, often everything starts beautifully and ends in a real nightmare—this was exactly the case.

The Sweetness Turns Sour?

One evening, as Daisy was getting ready for another date with Max, she found herself questioning something. There was a slight shift in his tone during their conversation earlier that day, almost like he was in a hurry or distracted. 

It wasn’t long before Daisy began to notice that some of Max’s messages seemed a little too rehearsed, like he was reading from a script. “I can’t wait to see you again, babe” or “You are the most amazing woman I’ve ever met.” They were sweet but something about them didn’t feel genuine anymore.

What Was He Hiding? 

Daisy started noticing inconsistencies in his stories, too. He would mention things that didn’t quite add up, like his job or his past. 

At first, she chalked it up to nerves or maybe a little over-exaggeration. But deep down, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.

The Feeling of Being Trapped

One evening, when Daisy suggested meeting up at her favorite bar, Max became uncharacteristically quiet. He told her he would love to but there was always something that came up—his job, his “sick mom,” a few random excuses that seemed too convenient. Daisy was starting to feel like she was putting in all the effort. 

“Why does he keep canceling?” she thought but Max would always have a reason, an explanation, a way to make her believe him. He would reassure her, “You know how much I care about you, right?” And Daisy, with her heart on the line, would forgive him every time. But why did she feel more and more like she was the one doing all the work?

The Unseen Danger

Daisy continued to fall for Max, even as her gut told her that something was off. She brushed away her doubts, convincing herself it was just her imagination running wild. But soon, something happened that would blow her world apart. 

When Max invited her to meet him at his place one Friday night, Daisy felt a flutter of excitement. By the way, at the same time I was very happy (but in vain).

The Perfect Night That Hid Danger
Max was incredibly attentive: a candlelit dinner, soft music playing in the background, glasses of wine. Daisy felt like she was in a romantic movie. That evening, their relationship reached a new level—they shared their first intimacy, and Daisy was over the moon with happiness. 

Everything seemed perfect... or so it seemed? Back then, she couldn’t have imagined that this very moment would reopen her dark sides—ones that were truly terrifying.

The Disappearing Act
After that night, Max became... different. At first, he would reply to her messages after hours, and then he disappeared for days at a time. Daisy was restless, her phone practically glued to her hands. 

She sent him dozens of messages, called him but was met with nothing but silence. Her friends tried to comfort her but it was as if Daisy had come unhinged. All her thoughts revolved around Max.

Parental Horror
Daisy’s parents started to sound the alarm. They could see their daughter slipping down a dangerous path once again. "Could it be happening again?" they whispered, recalling her dark past. 

But this time, it seemed far worse—Daisy had completely shut herself off from her friends and stopped talking to her family.

Rage That Couldn’t Be Contained
Daisy began losing control over herself. Uncontrollable bursts of anger started to consume her again—it had happened before but she had promised herself she’d never let it happen again. 

One time, she got so furious with her neighbor over loud music that she barged into her apartment and struck the woman. The entire building buzzed about the incident, and though Daisy avoided serious consequences, her actions frightened everyone around her. In moments of desperation, this girl was capable of terrifying things.

Isolated Solitude
She practically stopped leaving her apartment. Everything that once brought her joy no longer mattered. Max still wasn’t answering her calls... She was fired from her job at the souvenir shop, where she had always been in the spotlight.

Now her days passed behind drawn curtains, in darkness and complete silence. But Daisy became fixated on an idea, one that finally pushed her to leave the house! Obsessed with either winning Max back or at least understanding why he was avoiding her, Daisy began following him.

Exposing the Scoundrel
She spent hours outside his house, hiding around the corner. And one day, she finally saw something that completely shattered her: Max was sitting in a café, holding hands with another woman. 

The next day—it was a different woman. Max turned out to be a complete scoundrel who wasn’t just playing with her heart.

A Broken Heart and a Dangerous Plan
After seeing Max with another woman, Daisy’s world crumbled entirely. She couldn’t believe that her "perfect" man had turned out to be a fraud who had only used her. 

But instead of letting go, she came up with a dangerous plan. “He has to pay for everything,” she decided, and her obsession turned into full-blown mania.

The Day of the Confrontation
Daisy started tracking Max’s every move. She discovered where he went and who he talked to. One day, unable to hold back any longer, she waited for him outside his house. When he came out, she couldn’t control herself and caused a scene right there on the street.

Max tried to walk away but Daisy wouldn’t back down, shouting at the top of her lungs that he had betrayed her, even shoving him hard a couple of times. She should’ve stayed home… because this was about to end in real tragedy.

An Unexpected Arrest
Neighbors called the police, and Daisy was arrested for disturbing the peace. At the station, she kept screaming that Max had ruined her life. Her parents paid for her release but this was only the beginning of even bigger problems. 

Perhaps this was one of those situations where it would’ve been better for Daisy to spend a few months behind bars, forget that scoundrel, and abandon any thoughts of revenge… because those thoughts would only make things worse for her.

Her World Was Falling Apart
After the arrest and her return home, Daisy withdrew even more. Her life descended into chaos. She started drinking to numb herself, and with each passing day, her state worsened. Bottles of wine and scattered belongings filled her apartment.

Her friends and parents tried to help her but she shut everyone out. Yet that Friday, she decided she couldn’t take it anymore and went to Max’s house again. It was a fateful decision… one that would divide her life into "before" and "after."

Waiting in Desperation
Daisy didn’t know what to do. She stood at his door, ringing the bell over and over, hoping he was just taking his time to answer. But with each passing minute, it became clearer: Max wasn’t home. 

And it was driving her insane. "Where is he? Who is he with? Why isn’t he answering?"—her thoughts swirled like a storm. Then she noticed it—a side window left slightly open. It was as if fate itself was inviting her in.

She Couldn’t Be Stopped
"I have to know the truth," Daisy thought, wiping away her tears. Carefully, she pushed the window open and climbed inside, trying not to make a sound. Her legs trembled but she resolutely drew the curtain and hid behind the couch. The room was silent, broken only by occasional sounds from the street. 

@elements.envato.com

Daisy sat with her knees pulled to her chest, thinking about how things had gotten so out of control. "I just want him to love me," she whispered to herself. "I’m ready to forgive everything. I’m better than all those other girls. He just needs to see it."

To See Without Being Seen
Staring at the clock, Daisy froze each time she heard a noise outside. Then, close to midnight, the door burst open. Max walked in—but he wasn’t alone. Behind him entered a woman—vivid, cheerful, her smile radiant. Their carefree laughter cut through Daisy like a knife.

She sat there, paralyzed, trying to suppress her sobs. "How could he do this? How could he?"—her thoughts screamed but she remained silent, holding her breath.

What a “Gentleman”
Max pulled out two glasses and poured wine. He showered his companion with compliments, gently touched her hair, and whispered something into her ear. And then… they started kissing. Daisy couldn’t take it anymore. Tears, anger, humiliation—all erupted at once. 

She leapt out from behind the couch with a loud scream: “Scumbag! Bastard! And you—you're nothing but a pr*stitute!” The woman in red froze, staring at Daisy in shock. Then, clutching her purse, she bolted for the door, leaving Max and Daisy alone.

Sarcasm That Fueled the Fire
Max, initially shocked, quickly changed his tone. He looked at Daisy with mockery. "You're funny when you're angry. You know, there's actually something charming about it," he said with a smirk. "Hold on, let me call my gorgeous new girlfriend. You really scared her!"

Those words became the final straw. Daisy felt something inside her snap. "You're laughing at me?!" she screamed, grabbing a wine bottle from the table.

A Split-Second Consequence
Without thinking, she swung the bottle and hit Max on the head. The bottle shattered with a dull thud, and Max collapsed to the floor. Everything happened so quickly that Daisy couldn’t process what she had done.

She stood frozen in the middle of the room, staring at Max's motionless body. "What have I done?" she whispered, clenching her fists. Fear gripped her throat but she couldn’t move or think.

Silence Louder Than Words
The room was engulfed in eerie silence. Only the sound of wine dripping onto the floor broke the oppressive stillness. Daisy stood there, paralyzed, trying to comprehend her next move.

She continued to stare at Max's still body, unable to move. Her thoughts raced chaotically: "Is he alive? What now? I didn’t mean to... I just wanted him to feel my pain." But the question that echoed in her mind was, "Is he still alive?"

Panic Takes Hold
Her hands trembled, and her breathing grew heavier. "I have to do something... but what? Should I call an ambulance?" She glanced around the room as if hoping the answer would magically appear. 

Max's phone lay on the table, its screen glowing with the last notification. She grabbed it and tried to unlock it but then it hit her: she couldn’t draw unnecessary attention.

First Attempt at a Solution
Daisy knelt beside Max and cautiously checked his pulse. "He's alive! He's alive..." Relief washed over her for a fleeting moment. But then she noticed the blood, mingling with the wine on the floor. She grabbed the nearest towel and pressed it to his wound, hoping to stop the bleeding.

Every minute felt like an eternity. Max began to groan softly, his eyelids twitching. "He’s going to wake up... and then what?" The thought sparked a new wave of panic. She knew she had to act fast.

Urgent Measures
Daisy stood up and frantically started gathering the shards of the bottle and glasses scattered around the room, trying not to leave any traces. Her heart pounded like a drum. "If he tells them everything... it’s over for me," she thought, tears streaming down her cheeks unnoticed.

But Max groaned louder and tried to lift himself. His eyes fluttered open slightly, and he mumbled something unintelligible. Daisy froze. "It’s not over yet," she decided.

Screeching Sirens and Mounting Desperation
A sharp wail of sirens pierced the night, like a lightning strike. The police were already close. Daisy froze for a second, paralyzed but then started rushing around the house. She knew she had almost no time left. "It’s that girl," she thought. "She managed to escape and call them."

Her eyes landed on a side window. Daisy flung it open and, trying to stay out of sight, climbed outside. Her heart was racing, threatening to burst out of her chest. Staying low, she ran along the house and disappeared into the dark alleyway nearby.

Fleeing with Memories Flashing By
The cold night air burned her lungs. Her legs felt like they could give out at any moment but she didn’t stop. Images of her life flashed before her eyes: her first meeting with Max, their candlelit evening, her unstoppable love, now turned into obsession.

"How did it come to this?" she thought but her legs kept moving, as if on autopilot. Daisy tried to wave down a passing car for help but no one stopped...

Screams, Gunshots, and the End of the Chase…
"Stop! Police! Halt!"—loud shouts rang out behind her. Daisy turned and saw bright flashlight beams cutting through the night. Her legs tangled, and she stumbled. At that moment, a gunshot rang out — a warning shot but terrifying nonetheless. Daisy froze, raising her hands.

The officers ran up, roughly twisted her arms behind her back, and snapped on the handcuffs. "What have I done? Is this the end?" raced through her mind as they put her into the car.

A False Sense of Hope
Inside the police car, shivering from cold and fear, Daisy tried to stop herself from breaking down. "But he’s alive," she reassured herself. "Max will survive, and we can explain everything."

But the truth was far worse than she could have imagined. Daisy didn’t yet know it but her life, already split into "before" and "after," had spiraled into an abyss. Daisy was placed in a detention center. A small cell, gray walls, and a cold concrete floor became her new world.

Shattered Hopes
A few days later, she was told her parents had come to see her. Daisy's heart leapt: she desperately wanted to see them, to hug her mom, to hear that everything would be okay. But the meeting was denied. Her parents left without saying a word. It was another crushing blow.

When the investigator entered her cell, Daisy’s face was already blank, as though everything inside her had been burned out. "Pull yourself together, miss," he began, looking at her exhausted expression. But his words sounded like a death sentence: "Max is dead. We’ve opened a case." Daisy couldn’t even respond — it felt like the ground had disappeared beneath her feet. She fainted and collapsed onto the cold floor.

Waking Up to Reality
When she regained consciousness, the bright light of a hospital room blinded her. For a few seconds, she thought it had all been a dream. She was back home, and Max was alive. But that illusion was shattered by the sound of chains on her wrists. 

Her hands were cuffed to the bed, and a guard stood by the door. She closed her eyes, hoping to drift away again. But reality was relentless: she had been treated, and the investigation continued.

Confession and Consequences
During questioning, Daisy didn’t deny anything. "I’m guilty. It’s all my fault," she repeated. Her words were recorded, though she barely noticed. The only thing she wanted was for it all to end. The trial didn’t last long. With her confession taken into account, the court sentenced her to 20 years in prison for manslaughter. 

Now she stood in prison uniform before the gates of the women’s colony, her face devoid of emotion. Every step inside felt like the last of her old life. Twenty years of loneliness, fear, and memories of that fateful night lay ahead of her. And at that moment, she had no idea that she was about to become a mother… under circumstances that would shock everyone.

A New Love That Will Turn Her Life Upside Down
Daisy was placed in solitary confinement. She went days without eating, sank into a deep depression, and cried for Max. It seemed to her she would never fall in love again… but how wrong she was. 

At the time, she couldn’t have imagined that her new love was sitting in a solitary cell just like hers. But how could their paths ever cross? This is an extraordinary story, believe me.

Six Months of Silence
In the isolation of prison, every day felt endless. Daisy lived as if in a vacuum, without communication, hope, or a future. 

Six months of solitude stretched into eternity, and she began to adapt to the silence that enveloped everything. But one day, the silence was broken.

A Mysterious Voice
Late at night, Daisy heard a strange sound. A knocking came from above, through the vent. At first, she thought it was her imagination but the sound repeated. Moving closer to the grate, she heard a man’s voice.
"Hey, are you there?" — it came from the darkness.

She froze, unable to believe her ears. The voice introduced itself: it was Joan, an inmate from the neighboring block. For a moment, Daisy didn’t know how to respond. It all seemed absurd — she ignored his attempt to talk.

Curiosity Wins Out
However, a few days later, her loneliness overpowered her caution. Daisy, not fully understanding why, responded to the knocking. They started talking, cautiously at first but then more openly. Joan turned out to be a 23-year-old Latino man convicted of murder.

Their conversations lasted hours. They shared stories of their past lives, dreams, and fears.

An Invisible Romance
Daisy felt that Joan understood her like no one else. Without realizing when it happened, she began to fall for someone she had never even seen. They wished each other good morning and waved at each other as if someone could actually see it.

This romance between two people who had never laid eyes on each other became her ray of light in a bleak reality, giving her the strength to keep going. But neither Daisy nor Joan yet knew that fate had more surprises in store for them.

"I Want A Child With You!"

Their romance continued to grow stronger. The lifelong dream for both Daisy and Joan was to finally see each other and be together forever. But for inmates in solitary confinement, that was impossible. They could only imagine the moment they would finally see each other face-to-face.

Eventually, Joan shared his dream of having a child someday with Daisy. At the time, he had no idea that his dream would soon come true—and that he wouldn’t even have to leave prison to make it happen.

Dreams That Seemed Unreal
However, Joan still had at least 20 years left to serve, just like Daisy. "I won’t be able to have a child for such a long time. But if I had to choose someone to do it with, you know, it would be you," he confessed. Daisy replied, "Yes, we could make it happen."

They began crafting a plan that, at first glance, seemed completely impossible. Joan wanted it so badly that he prayed day and night for his wish to come true.

Days Consumed by a Single Thought
How could they conceive a child? This question consumed Daisy and Joan, who spent hours discussing it. To outsiders, their plans and thoughts might have seemed fantastical. Yet, not only had they fallen in love without ever meeting face-to-face but they also decided to become parents.

Most incredible of all, Daisy was pregnant within a month. The inmates were overjoyed that their plan had worked, while everyone around them was in shock. How was this even possible?

The Odds Were Slim!

The doctor said the chances of the couple’s plan leading to a successful pregnancy were very slim. It all started when the pair devised a plan in which Depaz would transfer his sperm to Link using a makeshift rope made of bedsheets. "I would wrap the sperm in plastic wrap, five times a day, every day for a month," he recalled.

"He rolled it up almost like a cigarette and attached it to the string in the ventilation system. I would pull it through," Daisy added. "From there, I would place it inside—you know, the applicators for yeast infection treatments? I used those. After that, yes, I inserted it." And that’s how Daisy became pregnant.

Love Across Distance

Daisy managed to carry the pregnancy to term, giving birth to a healthy daughter. After the pregnancy incident, she and Joan were transferred to different prisons but their love endures. They talk on the phone and video call to see their daughter, who now lives with the boy’s mother.

Daisy and Joan are convinced that their daughter will grow up to be someone great, although it’s clear they will miss out on her entire childhood and youth.
