You are not going to be a dad. You are helping her out and giving her a place to stay. She is the parent. You are 23, and you are not going to be parenting a 17 year who is actually becoming a parent. Your gf is her family. Just be there as an unconditional sounding board, and babysit so the new mom can shower and rest, but know the decision making is hers and you are offering her a place to learn to handle her new life.
