Accusations, one right after another, came from the family members gathered in front of the delivery room upon the arrival of the baby with dark skin. Both my wife and I are white, so the thought of betrayal was the first that came to everyone\u2019s mind.\n\n\n\n
What was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives, after years of trying to become parents, was overshadowed by the thoughts of betrayal by my wife\u2019s side.\n\n\n\n
I was inside the delivery room, awaiting to finally hold my baby girl in my arms, while the rest of the family was waiting outside, ready to get inside once they heard the little one\u2019s cry.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n I squeezed Stephanie\u2019s hand, assuring her over and over again that everything was going to be allright.\n\n\n\n The nurse took it and tried to place it in Stephanie\u2019s embrace, but my wife\u2019s screams made everything shift.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \u201cNo, that\u2019s not my baby,\u201d she yelled.\n\n\n\n At that moment, I looked at my daughter, a baby with dark skin.\n\n\n\n Unable to control my words, I said, \u201cWhat the hell, Stephanie.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not mine,\u201d Stephanie kept saying over and over again. But how could it not be? The umbilical cord was still attached. It was the baby she gave birth to, but it wasn\u2019t white as the two of us.\n\n\n\n \u201cPlease, you have to trust me, Brent. I have never been with another man, not ever in my life.\u201d\n\n\n\n get the BEST stories to you inbox!\n\n\n\n As I felt like I was losing the ground under my feet, some of the family members started making comments, making the entire situation even worse.\n\n\n\n I didn\u2019t know what to think. \u201cWas Stephanie having an affair with someone?\u201d I kept asking myself. \u201cIf not, how could she give birth to a baby with dark skin and curly black hair?\n\n\n\n \u201cStephanie, this doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d I said as she begged me to trust her and stay.\n\n\n\n At that moment, I took a close look at the baby. She did have dark skin, but she had my eyes, my smile, and the same dimples on her cheeks. I needed time to think about everything so I left the room, assuring Stephanie I won\u2019t leave her until I get to the bottom of the story.\n\n\n\n She was someone whom I trusted the most in my life. Should I trust her this time?\n\n\n\n At the end of the hall stood my mother. She had that expression on the face that reminded me of the times I was still a child and found myself in trouble. She looked as though she was about to tell me off. \u201cBrent, you can\u2019t stay with her,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t be naive. Your wife has betrayed you and you need to accept that fact. No matter how much you love her, you can\u2019t ignore the truth.\u201d\n\n\n\n Honestly, I was confused. The baby\u2019s eyes and dimples told me she could be mine, but my mom\u2019s words planted the seed of doubt even deeper.\n\n\n\n Couple of hours later, I returned to Stephanie\u2019s room. She and the sweet baby with a dark skin were waiting for me.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Stephanie, exhausted from giving birth and from everything that followed, begged me to trust her.\n\n\n\n But, no matter how much I wanted to trust her, part of me needed answers.\n\n\n\n Suddenly, I found myself at the hospital\u2019s genetics department. As they took my blood and swabbed the inside of my cheek, they assured me it was just a routine procedure. But it was the heaviest one I have ever experienced.\n\n\n\nAnd then, after all the exhaustion, our little bundle of joy came into the world.\n\n\n\n
