Fatima Story

Uncanny Resemblance

Fatima

It's been 2 days since I had Brooklyn she's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. She has a head full of curly jet black hair, the softest light brown skin, my eyes and full lil lips but that's it the rest of her whole face is Zac. You can tell he wasn't my favorite person during this pregnancy. I was worried that everything I went through would affect my baby but thank God she's a happy baby. She smiles the most when she's Zacs arms so I can tell she's gone be a daddy's girl. All bullshit aside I love the little family we've created and watching Zac in daddy mode made me fall deeper in love wit him. Zac had to run an errand so Brooklyn and I spent some alone time together and staring at her I couldn't shake the fact that she looked so much like Zola, I mean to the T. I know what the dna test said but I'm telling you something was wrong. I took out my phone and searched my messages from when she was first born Zac was so excited he sent me a picture of her. I put the picture next to my baby face and jus like I thought they were identical. I'm not sure how to approach Zac bout it I don't want to upset him but I really think he should get another test done. As much as Karen hates me that baby deserves a father and what kind of woman would I be to ignore what I'm feeling jus because I don't want it to be Zac.

Zac walks in wit food for them.

Zac: hey my love....miss me?

Fatima: always. she said with a smile

Zac: how you feelin?

Fatima: way better than I expected. The worst part of all of this was pushing her out but looking at her she was worth the pain.

Zac: so that means you'll do it again? I want at least 5 kids

Fatima: 5? Nigga you pushin it I'll probably give you 2 more but that's all I got in me

Zac: I guess that'll work

The room gets silent

Fatima: ummm Zac I wanted to talk to you bout something. I need you to hear me out without getting mad ok baby?

Zac: man Ti don't come wit no bullshit

Fatima: laughing.....it's not bullshit I promise baby but I was lookin at a picture you sent when Zola was first born an....

Zac: interrupted quickly becoming irritated......and why would you do that Fatima?

Fatima: because I noticed that Brooklyn looked exactly like her. See look

Puts the picture next to Brooklyn face

Zac: I mean I guess they resemble but that's jus coincidence. I got on both of y'all nerves when y'all were pregnant.

Fatima: exactly but that only works if you're actually the father Zac

Zac: Ti wtf you want me to do? The dna said I'm not her dad so I don't understand why this is even a conversation.

Fatima: because dna test get fucked up all the time and something tells me that's the case here

Zac: Fatima you're thinkin too much jus enjoy our baby why bring up another niggas baby

Fatima: because you may be that other nigga whether you acknowledge it or not. Baby what if she is actually yours and you find out when she's older wouldn't you feel like shit knowing you missed out on her life because you ignored the obvious signs?

Zac: thinking....So what you want me to do get retested?

Fatima: please? That lil girl deserves a dad and if that's you I want to know. I couldn't forgive myself knowing Brooklyn had a possible sister out there that she never got to meet.
