Reporter: And when they finally met Andy came with this so that Steve’s family could hear that life inside of her. She went also to Steve’s mom and sister and what this meant to them — I feel like I’m meeting my child because she is in a way my child. Should I call you Mrs. Dominiy. No, you call me Sharon or Mimi or whatever you want to call me. Hopefully it’s nice. I’ll just call you mom. There you go. Reporter: And that’s how Andy and Ragan ended up on that football field together. She’s not getting away from us. That makes me very happy.
