Ben's POV

And in the midnight hour, she cried-

"I got it." I grabbed his phone and saw an unknown number. He peaked his head out of the shower curtain.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"Unknown." I shrugged and answered. He pulled his head back in as I answered. "Hello."

"Is this Daniel Worsnop?" A woman asked.

"No. He's unavailable right now. Could I take a message?" I asked. Danny laughed behind the curtain.

"This is Austin Texas child and family service. If you could just have him call us back as soon as he possibly can, that would be great." She said.

"Alright... I'll make sure to tell him as soon as he's available. Thank you for calling." I hung up, feeling slightly panicked.

"Who was that?" He asked.

"....Austin Texas child and family services." I told him and sighed. He was silent for a moment before the water turned off and he opened the curtain. He grabbed a towel from the counter and wrapped it around his waist.

"What the fuck?" He looked concerned and panicked before grabbing his phone and called back the number, putting it on speaker and beginning to dry himself off.

"Austin Child and Family. How may I help you?" The same voice answered.

"Hello, my name is Daniel Worsnop. You just called me?" He asked.

"Oh! Yes, Daniel. My name is Tessa. We have two babies here with your name on the birth certificate. Their mother just passed away, and we would like you to come into our office and talk to us." She said. My jaw dropped, and Danny froze, looking at the phone.

"Who was the mum?" He asked.

"Her name was Leigh Michael." She told him.

"How old are the babies?" He asked.

"Four months old. Twins." She added. He cringed.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." He hung up. "FUCK!"

"...Fuck." I looked at him and crossed my arms.

"Before you punch me, I can't confirm or deny that those are mine. She was a very slutty girl and it was a year ago. She told me we didn't have sex, but she could have lied. Even if her and I did it was before we got together and I swear I don't remember it at all." He told me.

"Can I go with you?" I asked him.

"Of course you can." He told me. I nodded and turned to the mirror for a moment.

"I'll go get changed." I told him and walked to the bedroom. I got changed into a pair of ripped jeans and a teeshirt with a jacket. Danny walked in, looking confused and wrapped his arms around me, laying his head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around him in return before I heard him sniffle. "Danny, why are you crying?" I asked.

"This isn't how it's supposed to be." He stated. "We're supposed to get married and adopt cute babies when we feel ready. I'm not supposed to have one-night-stand babies that get shoved into our lives."

"Danny, by the sounds of things, she didn't want them to be forced into your life either. We can go down there and talk to them and figure out what happened and decide then, okay?" I told him. He nodded and pulled back. I wiped his cheeks. "Now finish getting ready so we can find out." He smiled and nodded.

"Alright. Let me get dressed." He said.

"Trim your beard, please. It's looking a bit rough." I told him he looked in the mirror and huffed.
