Grabbing his pants leg, she cried, “I don’t want
a divorce. What did I do?”
“Honey, I messed up, I messed up! I am so sorry!”
“He tricked me, I got drunk and was stupid! You’re the only man I love, baby!”
“Please forgive me! I swear it won’t happen again! I promise I’ll be a better wife!”
Brenda was sobbing, completely falling apart.
Mark was starting to feel bad for her, and he
was clearly regretting his decision.
Seeing Mark wavering, Brenda kept laying it on thick.

“Baby, please, I can change, I can change, I
know I can!”
“If, if you leave me, I don’t want to live! I’ll just
take the baby and end it all!”
Brenda’s words stopped Mark dead. I was
pretty surprised, too.
Mark asked, his voice trembling, “What baby? Are you pregnant?”
Brenda threw herself into Mark’s arms, gently touching her belly.
“Yes, baby, I’m pregnant! We’re going to have a baby!”
After we cut ties last time, I didn’t hear anything
about them.
I didn’t expect Brenda to pull the pregnancy

I was sure this kid wasn’t Mark’s.

But Mark was a lovesick idiot, and he had forgotten all of his anger at Brenda.
He looked at me, trying to say something, but
not knowing how to start.
I was trying to act all supportive, but I couldn’t hide my doubts.
“A baby is great, you’re having the first grandbaby in the family, but you’re sure about
this?”
I didn’t finish the thought, but I didn’t need to.
Mark, hearing the question, turned serious.
He pulled back from Brenda, asking her, “Is it
mine, or that other dude’s?”

Brenda thought her crocodile tears and the
pregnancy would save her, but she was wrong.
She glared at me, then started her sob story.
“Mark, of course it’s yours! The doctor said I’m
four weeks along, that’s exactly when we did it.
You know I am not lying.”
“Besides, I only slept with that guy once! Why
are you doubting our baby?”
Mark still had feelings for Brenda.
After her little speech, Mark decided to forget
everything and forgive her.
Then Mark thought for a few minutes, hugged
Brenda, and stood in front of me.
He said, “Mom, this baby is mine! I forgive

Brenda, please forgive her and give her another
chance.”
Looking at them, I was enraged.
I wanted to yell at them, and I thought I should
have had a better son.
Everyone knew that Brenda was a terrible
person.
I decided to create a new plan.
I stared at them, smiling.
“I believe you! Of course I want to give her a chance! It’s okay. We’ll see how things go.”
“But for Brenda and the family, we have to do a paternity test when the baby is born!”
