He refused to move, shaken by a message he had received the night before. He waited until his father came home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"487\" data-end=\"803\">When his dad arrived and saw his wife suffering, he was furious\u2014until Thomas showed him the message. It was from a man claiming he\u2019d been in a secret relationship with Thomas\u2019s stepmom for a year. The man believed the unborn baby might be his and said he would demand a DNA test and fight for custody if proven true.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"993\">Thomas watched the shock settle on his father\u2019s face.

Eventually, he took her to the hospital\u2014but the trust was clearly shattered.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1131\">Now Thomas is consumed by doubt. What if the baby is his father\u2019s?
