What about the future? They\u2019re family. We want them to be a part of our children\u2019s lives, don\u2019t we?\u201d Amanda continued, smiling slightly. The problem is that the young, beautiful woman didn\u2019t see the tightening of her husband\u2019s mouth.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Chris tried to keep his composure after her words, but he only barely managed. \u201cYeah. I guess,\u201d he muttered through his stiff lips.<br>\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"wp-block-quote\"'>\n<h3 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>\u201cThat\u2019s\u2026 fine.

We\u2019re in this together,\u201d Amanda perked and hugged his side.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Chris\u2019s mother, Mrs. Castillo, opened the door with her signature fake grin, only slightly lifting her lips.<br>\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cHello, Amanda. It\u2019s nice to see you,\u201d she said, nodding her head subtly and moving, so they could walk through the door.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Chris wanted to roll his eyes. It had been years since he and Amanda got together. They were engaged, and his parents still viewed her as the woman who \u201cruined their plans.\u201d They wanted their son with someone else and were salty about his decision.<br>\n\n\n\n</p><p>When Chris graduated from college and got his first job, his parents introduced him to Ciara, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geoffrey. Her father was on a local private clinic board and highly well-respected in their town.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/96e9c3f055080d2d5197e36cd013aae6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: pexels>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n</p><p>Chris came from the Castillo family, and they had always been wealthy thanks to their great-grandfather\u2019s investments. Chris didn\u2019t care much for that stuff. His parents were obsessed with status and what others would say.\n\n\n\n</p><p>However, he made the most amazing friends at college who came from all walks of life. It truly changed his life, and he realized that the girls he had been exposed to through private school and country club parties were not for him. He wanted a real woman.\n\n\n\n</p><p>And Amanda appeared. He had been at his job for a couple of years and collided with her on his way out of a parking lot. It was love at first sight for him, so he tried to joke, smile, and invite her out straight away.\n\n\n\n</p><p>She worked at a nearby building and was not happy about his advances. But eventually, she said yes to a date, and they had been together since.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The first time she met his parents was a disaster. They told Chris to break things off as soon as she left the restaurant table for the bathroom.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cShe\u2019s an assistant. Why can\u2019t you date Ciara? She adores you. This is not the girl for you,\u201d his mother said quietly, but her face showed desperation and disgust.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cListen to your mother, son. You must marry a woman from your own\u2026 ugh\u2026 class. It won\u2019t work otherwise,\u201d his dad joined in, shaking his head.\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"wp-block-quote\"'>\n<p>\u201cThe two of you need to shut up. I will not listen to this. Ciara is a vapid little princess, and I don\u2019t want to be near her\u2026 ever!\u201d he said, forcefully but still discreetly enough.\n\n\n\n\n</p><p>Amanda returned to the table, and the dinner continued. His parents never had much of a poker face, so this meeting wasn\u2019t pleasant. However, it was worse after those comments, and Amanda sensed it.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/be825296efb057a22d21454ebbda5532.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: unsplash>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Unsplash\n\n\n\n</p><p>He explained everything later, and she understood, telling him to give his parents time. But it had been a while, and they had yet to warm up. They behaved to her face but grumbled behind her back. Mostly, they tolerated her, especially since they got engaged. Meanwhile, she remained hopeful. Amanda was a glass-half-full kind of person. Therefore, she still called his mother to plan dinners and included her in some of the wedding details.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The only thing Amanda had not been open about was the fact that they were already trying for a baby. She wanted that to be a surprise. With some luck, Mr. and Mrs. Castillo would finally warm up when they started having babies.\n\n\n\n</p><p>***\n\n\n\n</p><p>As they sat at his parent\u2019s dinner table, Chris could only think of wrapping this gathering up quickly. He had something to tell his fianc\u00e9e, and it was extremely urgent. It might change the nature of their relationship forever. She might even decide to leave him.\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"wp-block-quote\"'>\n<h3 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>\u201cThey don\u2019t know what they\u2019re missing.

So, he had been afraid of telling her the truth.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cSo, Amanda,\u201d his father began, snapping Chris out of his thoughts. \u201cHow\u2019s work?\u201d\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/ac6cbff03137c700f56ba5e855e3a706.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: pexels>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cOh, Mr. Castillo.

To become a housewife,\u201d Mr. Castillo clarified.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cI\u2019m not quitting,\u201d Amanda said, confused.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cShe\u2019s going to keep working, Dad,\u201d Chris intervened, peeved.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cThat\u2019s\u2026 just fine.

It\u2019ll depend on the future,\u201d Amanda said and swallowed nervously. \u201cSpeaking of which, I have an announcement. I\u2019m pregnant!\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>There was extreme silence at the table, which seemed to expand for hours, but it was only a few seconds. Amanda had been sure that a baby was everything this family needed to accept her finally, but she had no idea what Chris had just discovered.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The first person to break the silence was Mrs. Castillo. \u201cHe\u2019s infertile!\u201d she yelled, seething. Her eyes were almost red from anger.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/cbfd43817de445080c2a738dfa4bed4f.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: pexels>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n</p><p>Chris was frozen in complete shock. They had been intimate for a while without protection, hoping for this. But he just got medical results proving that he couldn\u2019t father anyone. That meant\u2026 that Amanda had cheated.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cYOU WORTHLESS TROLLOP!\u201d his mother screamed some more. \u201cYOU CHEATED NO MY SON AND GOT PREGNANT? NOW YOU WANT TO BABY-TRAP HIM?\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cBaby trap him? Mrs. Castillo, Chris and I have been trying for months. We wanted to surprise you and start our family right away. What do you mean by infertile? That\u2019s impossible!\u201d Amanda shook her head rapidly, not knowing what to do.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Mr. Castillo wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin and stood. \u201cGet out of this house immediately. Never show your face near my son again, or we will get a restraining order,\u201d he threatened quietly.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cSir! Chris, please. Do something. I don\u2019t understand!\u201d Amanda begged her fiance, but Chris couldn\u2019t move. Suddenly, Mrs. Castillo grabbed Amanda\u2019s hair and started pulling her toward the front door.\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"wp-block-quote\"'>\n<p>\u201cGet out of here now!\u201d the older woman yelled like a banter.\n\n\n\n\n</p><p>Amanda held onto her hair to prevent more pain, but she repeatedly called out to Chris.

Chris moved out of their shared apartment, leaving the medical results on their kitchen countertop. He also left a Post-it.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cI was concerned and got tested. I\u2019m infertile. Completely. I hope you have a happy life, but it won\u2019t be with me,\u201d he wrote, breaking Amanda\u2019s heart.\n\n\n\n</p><p>That doctor had to be wrong. She was pregnant, and it was 100% Chris\u2019s baby. She hadn\u2019t been with anyone else for many years.&nbsp;<em>How was this possible? And why wouldn\u2019t he talk to me?\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her best efforts, Chris refused contact. When she went to his parent\u2019s house, they called the police, who told her to leave or risk being arrested.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cFine! I\u2019ll leave! I\u2019ll raise this beautiful baby on my own! You\u2019re the one missing out, and when you realize the truth, it\u2019ll be too late!\u201d she screamed towards the mansion and walked away.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/aa8982b53e8452b71ce4cc0ec30c1582.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: unsplash>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Unsplash\n\n\n\n</p><p>Despite what the Castillo family tried to imply, Amanda didn\u2019t need to trap anyone. She might not be from a wealthy family, but she had a great job. Her company had a fantastic maternity leave policy, and the entire team was ready to support her dearly. Her boss loved her, so she wasn\u2019t worried.\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"wp-block-quote\"'>\n<h3 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>\u201cWhat? No, that was just our plan,\u201d Mrs. Geoffrey chuckled, waving her hand.\n\n\n\n\n<p>The problem was facing an utterly different future without Chris and as a single mom. But if others could do it, she could too.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Therefore, she had the baby, named him Paul, and did her best. It was suffocating doing everything alone at times, but she persevered every day for her son. The only problem was that her baby was a carbon copy of Chris. It was impossible to miss.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cThose idiots,\u201d she whispered after putting him down for a nap. \u201cThey don\u2019t know what they\u2019re missing.

His usually cold parents were highly supportive after he moved out of his shared apartment with Amanda. He was thankful for that. The last thing he ever imagined was Amanda cheating on him.

And life goes on even when you don\u2019t want it to. He returned to work, found a new apartment for himself, and tried to forget the pain. The future was bleak without Amanda, but his parents tried to cheer him up.\n\n\n\n</p><p>One day, they invited him for dinner, and Ciara was there. Surprisingly, they got along, and she had many interesting things to say. His parents were delighted and encouraged the friendship. Chris didn\u2019t have the fight in him to refuse again.\n\n\n\n</p><p>He started dating Ciara. They were taking things slow, but he didn\u2019t discourage his mother when she talked about a country club wedding.&nbsp;<em>Fine. If this is the life I deserve, I\u2019ll just let them plan everything for me, he thought during his depressing moments.\n\n\n\n<p>Amanda was out of his life. He just hoped her baby daddy was a good man.\n\n\n\n</p><p>***\n\n\n\n</p><p>About a year after Paul was born, Amanda was walking down the street, focusing on her cell phone, when she stumbled upon someone.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cI\u2019m so sorry. I wasn\u2019t looking,\u201d she apologized, only to raise her eyes and see Chris. \u201cOh.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cAmanda,\u201d he said, swallowing. \u201cHi.\u201d\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/a24ca3a9ec745df9526dbaf35f3f4178.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: unsplash>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Unsplash\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cHello,\u201d she replied awkwardly. \u201cBye.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cWait,\u201d Chris grabbed her hand, but the movement made her drop her phone. \u201cJeez, I\u2019m sorry.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>He picked it up, and the screen lit. There was a picture of her baby as a screensaver, and his eyes zeroed in on it.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cGive me that,\u201d Amanda snatched it from his hands, finally showing her anger. \u201cYou don\u2019t deserve to look at him.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cHim?\u201d he mumbled, breathless from seeing the image.\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"wp-block-quote\"'>\n<p>\u201cYes. My son,\u201d she said, lifting her chin. \u201cMine. Alone.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n</p><p>Her whole demeanor was surprising. He understood why she would lie about cheating at first, but it had been a while since their split. She didn\u2019t have to pretend anymore.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cI guess it didn\u2019t work out with the father,\u201d Chris commented, wanting to be angry and hurt her somehow.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cYeah.

He didn\u2019t remember the picture of the baby much, as she had snatched her phone too quickly. But he had stunning blue eyes. Amanda\u2019s eyes were brown. Of course, anyone could be the father.\n\n\n\n</p><p>But her attitude. The way she was accusing him without actually saying anything was highly odd. Was it possible that he had been wrong? That his doctors were wrong?\n\n\n\n</p><p>It didn\u2019t seem likely because he had gone to Ciara\u2019s father\u2019s private clinic. They had all the latest technologies, so the chances of a false result were odd. But\u2026 what if?\n\n\n\n</p><p>He couldn\u2019t think about it much because Ciara dragged him to her mother\u2019s house for a meeting with the wedding planner. Yes, they were engaged, and things were moving fast. He didn\u2019t care. He just wanted his parents to shut up about it.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The whole situation was insane. He had no idea why he was there when Ciara and her mother were picking up everything. When his new fianc\u00e9e took a break, Mrs. Geoffrey focused on him. She talked a bit about the wedding, the future, how she always knew this day would come, etc.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/cdn.amomama.com%5C/73e2aed99c67f2c760a802d670307dbc.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"For' illustration purposes only source: pexels>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustration purposes only | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n</p><p>But suddenly, she said, \u201cOh, my god, and the babies you two will have.
