Steve’s day began like any other, with a kiss from his pregnant wife, Laura, before heading to work. But by mid-afternoon, urgent calls and a desperate text from his son, Jackson, sent him racing home in a panic. When he arrived, his mother was waiting on the porch, pale and uneasy, before revealing the shocking truth: Laura had been cheating on him.

Inside, Steve found a strange man awkwardly sitting in his living room and Laura in tears, begging for forgiveness. The betrayal cut deep, especially with their son crying nearby, asking his mother why she had done it. Steve held Jackson close, realizing that whatever happened next, their family life could never be the same.

Over dinner with Jackson later that night, Steve learned how his mother had walked in on Laura’s affair and how Jackson initially thought his mom was hurt because of her sobbing. The truth shattered the boy, and Steve reassured him that, no matter what, he wasn’t going to abandon him. But the doubt lingered, especially when Steve confronted Laura about whether the baby she carried was even his.

Laura admitted she wasn’t sure, leaving Steve torn between heartbreak and responsibility. She agreed to therapy while Steve decided to stay until the baby was born, determined to take a DNA test before making any decisions about their marriage. For now, uncertainty loomed over their future, with one painful question hanging in the air: what if the child wasn’t his?
