This raises the question of whether this hidden truth could jeopardize the adoption; let’s delve into this complex scenario for Javi and the difficulties it brings.
Javi Admitted To Melinda Trask That He’d Lost A Daughter To Death
In the September 2 episode of Days, Javi chose to discuss the possibility of adopting Tesoro with Melinda Trask (Tina Huang).
Having formed a strong bond with the little guy, Javi hoped he could provide Tesoro with a permanent home and raise him alongside Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) in Salem.
However, Javi was reminded of Leo’s criminal history and the fact that they are not yet legal partners.
Melinda proposed that Javi could adopt as a single father, but the idea of undergoing a comprehensive background check made him anxious.

It was then that Javi revealed he had a child who had passed away, prompting Melinda to mention that this would lead to an investigation into that child’s death.
Javi Choked Up And Left Her Office With Tesoro
Javi became emotional and confessed that this was his fear before rushing out the door with Tesoro. DOOL fans have already witnessed Javi staring wistfully at a photo of himself cradling a baby girl on his phone.
Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes) also mentioned to Javi that he would have made an excellent father, but he insisted she keep everything hidden from Leo, as it would be too difficult to explain.
It’s possible that Javi acted as a sperm donor for a friend and intended to co-parent their daughter or something similar.

Regardless of the situation, it seems Javi had a child who tragically passed away, yet Days has not disclosed the details surrounding this baby girl’s unfortunate fate.
Javi Feels Responsible, But Was He Really To Blame?
It’s evident that Javi feels a sense of responsibility to some extent, but is he truly at fault? There’s a possibility that Javi was somehow distracted and may not have been monitoring the baby as attentively as he ought to have been when the crisis occurred.
Nevertheless, Days viewers understand that Javi is clearly not the kind of person to commit anything too horrific.
There’s no chance that Javi is concealing some dreadful criminal past, so perhaps this won’t be the deal-breaker for the adoption that he fears. Still, Javi cannot keep the truth from Leo forever; eventually, Javi will need to reveal the entire story and allow his feelings to surface.
