Hide Your Heart

Discovery

Tommy was cleaning the house while Paul ran errands. Paul had Taylor and Aurora while Hannah was at the house. He opened the dresser drawer to put the laundry away and found the envelope. Seeing Paul's name on it, he hesitated. "Should I open it?"

Before he could make that decision, Hannah started fussing. Tommy washed his hands and sat down to feed her. Looking at her closely, he was hit with the fact she looked like his ex. "Oh my God!" "S-s-she's not Paul's!!!" He was able to hold himself together until he put Hannah down for a nap.

He then burst into tears which is how Paul found him when he came home. "Tom! What happened!? Is Hannah okay? Are you okay?"

"S-s-she's n-n-not y-y-yours!" "I-I-I-I'm s-s-sorry!" "I-I-I-I'm sorry!"

"Sh. I already figured that out right after they were born. She is my third daughter."

Looking at Paul, Tommy just cried harder. "D-d-do you hate her? D-d-do you hate me?"

"No, for both answers." "I realize you weren't completely to blame. You and I had sex not long after I drug you back to the hotel. I wasn't going too since you were wasted but we did. I guess the time frame was right and Hannah was created."

Wiping his eyes, Tommy asked about the envelope. "Is it DNA?"

"Yes."

Paul opened the envelope so they could both read it. "I don't know anything about Jaime's though." said Paul. 

Tommy handed Paul a stack of papers. " A long time ago, we were talking about adopting a child. We both went to get DNA tests done." "Why I have them still I don't know. Now, next question, do I tell him?"

"Hell no!" yelled Paul. "I do not want him to try and take Hannah."

"Jaime doesn't want kids." said Tommy flatly. "When we got this done, he said no afterwards."

"Then why did he go?" 

"I...promised...I'd sleep with him if he did." "We went and got it done. I slept alone that night."

Paul put the envelope back up and closed the drawer. "Let's go rest while OUR girls are asleep."

Tommy laid on Paul's chest and tried to rest. He had a lot of thoughts running through his brain.

Paul was snoring by now.
