397 The DNA Results (Winona)

The envelope the courier just dropped in is in my hands. My hands are buzzing. I have been praying and wishing for these results to make life slightly less complicated.

But that's not how my life generally goes. But I'm determined to hope. There's more chance Jayden is the father. Law of averages. All I have to do is open it and read what's inside.

My stomach flips and I feel ill. I sit down on the sofa and close my eyes.

Please God, let this be the answer I want. The answer need. The answer my family needs. Just this once. I swear I will never fuck it up again.

I finger the envelope, holding all the answers. Finally, I rip it open, my heart pounds as I skim over the words.

Positive match.

Oh. My. God.

There it is, in black and white. Jayden is the father of this baby. We did the impossible again! But will I get to be a mother to this tiny life inside me? How do I cope with the worry and pressure of an impossible pregnancy?

The relief crashes over me all the same. Jayden's the father. It's really happening; this baby is ours. I can't help the grin that spreads across my face, my fingers trembling as I close the envelope and tuck it away. Tonight, I'll tell him. Face to face, just like I've wanted.

Everything I've been so afraid of, all the doubts, can finally rest. Jayden's coming home tonight, even if just for 24 hours, and I can tell him I'm pregnant.

A knock on the door snaps me back, and I quickly tuck the envelope into a drawer before heading to answer it. Lisa's standing there, a grin stretching across her face.
