*Abby’s POV*

This was tough. I paced back and forth waiting for the call. A couple of days ago I secretly took Amelia to the doctors to test her DNA. I wasn’t going to tell Pat I even did this if Pat is her dad. I mean Pat was probably her dad so this was no big deal right? Why should I be worried? Ugh I was going crazy. Pat wasn't home, thank god, so he couldn't see how nervous I was.

After pacing for another 20 minutes I heard the phone ring. Now my nerves were going crazy. I was sweating, my mouth was dry, and I was shaking. “Hello?” I could barely say into the phone. “Hello Mrs. Kane, this is Doctor White, I have your results.” I didn't say anything as he went on to say “I'm sorry to inform you of this, but Amelia isn't Pat’s.” I didn't even say goodbye as I hung up the phone and sat back on the couch. At first I didn't know what to do. Do I cry? Should I tell someone? I finally made my decision as I let the first tear roll down my cheek. I started to cry and cry until I heard Patrick come in through the door.

“Abby! What happened?! Where’s Amelia?! Is everything alright?!” He dropped his hockey gear at the doorway and went to go check on Amelia. I didn't say anything as I continued to cry. He came back out of her room and rubbed my back. “Baby, tell me what’s wrong.” I looked up at him and sniffled. He rubbed the tears of my cheek and kissed my forehead. “Pat, the baby...she's not yours...she’s Alex’s.” I said with the most depressed feeling inside of me. He looked a bit shocked. “Alex’s?” he said. He didn't say it once either. He kept asking me the question as I felt more and more guilty. A tear rolled down his cheek while I got up and managed to get Amelia. I came back out and Pat sat on the couch not saying a word. “Pat, I’m sorry. If I could change anyth-” He cut me off. “Abby, I know you’re sorry. I don’t even wanna think about this. We both made idiot mistakes that night, and I don’t want this to stop us.” I smiled as Patrick sighed and put his face in his hands. “I love you so much Patrick, and I don’t wanna go through this again either.” I took his faces out of his hands with Amelia still sitting on my lap. I brought his face close to mine and kissed him on the lips lightly. “Does that show how sorry I am?” I said still smiling at him. He kissed me back and nodded. I knew this wasn't over, but for the first time in a couple days I relaxed underneath Patrick’s arm.

Ugh, how was I going to do this? I needed to tell Alex that he was the dad. He deserved to know. I wanted Pat there when I told him too. It would be best if he was there. Pat needed to be there. I wanted to show him that I have no feelings for Alex whatsoever.

Pat and I had invited Alex over and we were going to tell him then. I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and there was Alex. I invited him in and he sat across from me and Pat. He looked genuinely confused as I grabbed my hand and began to speak. “Alex, I know that over a year ago we both made stupid decisions that we both completely regret. And I thought you should know the other day, I had Amelia’s DNA taken and you're her dad.” I started to cry as Patrick rubbed my back. Alex ran his hands through his hair and let out a huge breath. “Oh god. Abby, I’m sorry. I did not mean for this to happen...I, I'm sorry Abby. I’m sorry Pat.” At that moment I felt relieved and sad at the same time. Pat noticed how awkward this was for me so he guided Alex to the door. “No hard feelings Alex. We were all stupid that night.” he said, closing the door. He turned around and looked at me. “Let’s put this behind us Ab. No matter what Amelia will always be our kid, not Alex’s.” I stopped crying as he pulled me onto his lap. I kissed his cheek and pulled my phone out of my back pocket. “What are you doing?” he asked me as I dialed Arianna’s number into it. “I need to tell Ar, don’t worry I won’t take that long.” Her phone went straight to voice mail as I left a message. “Arianna, I need you to call me when you get this. It’s kinda important.” I hung up the phone and looked at Pat. “Ya know Ab, I think you owe me a kid now.” I smirked and said “You want another kid? Are you sure we are ready?” “Ready as I’ll ever be.” he answered, picking me up and bringing me to the bedroom. “Good thing Amelia’s asleep." I said laughing as he threw me on the bed and shut the door.
