Shem Davies was also 14 when he became a father for the first
time.
Now schoolgirl daughter Tia has had a baby girl a week before
her 15th birthday.
Last night jobless Shem - who split with Tia's mum Kelly three
months after Tia was born - said he was "absolutely delighted" at
the new arrival.
Tiny Ava Grace is in an incubator after she was born ten weeks
early - weighing less than 2lb.
But the family said she is "doing remarkably well" at the
special care baby unit where she is being cared for in Bridgend,
South Wales.
Shem spoke of his shock when Tia told him she was pregnant by
her 15-year-old boyfriend Jordan Williams.
"I could have yelled at her, but what's the point?
"I know how hard it's going to be for them because I was in
their shoes at the same age.
"I didn't handle it very well when I became a dad at 14.
"I wasn't able to cope with it and I ran away." Tia's cafe
worker mum Kelly, 30, said: "My worst nightmare has always been
that Tia would repeat my mistake and get pregnant young.
"I always lectured her about contraception."
Shem and Kelly, of Bridgend, have both been supporting Tia as
she watches over Ava Grace - the SIXTH generation
of the family alive.
A family friend said: "It's really hard on Tia because all she
wants to do is give her baby a cuddle, like any new mum. But she
must stay inside the incubator."
Shem told a pal he had not yet wet the baby's head, adding:
"It's too soon. Let's wait until she's out of the special care
unit."
