Torn Between The Two | Drake & Chris Brown

Chapter 21

Danielle

Today is the day. The day that I find out who my baby daddy is. Chris was still in town like he said, but he stayed in a hotel despite my offer for him to stay with me. 

Both Drake and Chris continuously visited me these last couple of weeks to help with Tamara. However, their "help" was more like spoiling her. Whenever they were over, they would pick her up and carry her everywhere around the house. They would not let her whine for a minute. As a result, every day at around three in the morning, Tamara cries and cries until I carry and walk with her around the house like they did.

Every time I see Drake or Chris with the baby, it makes me think  of when the results come back, and the realization that one of them is not the father. The guilt begins to settle in, and I regret putting them in this situation. 

As an impatient person, sitting around waiting for DNA results to come back has made these few weeks stressful. I have even been looking at Tamara, trying to determine myself who the baby daddy is. Of course, it didn't work. She was too young to even have traits that resembled me. 

As a newborn, Tamara has not been much of a bother. Besides staying up at all hours of the night to feed, burp, or just walking around with her in my arms, she has been a lot of company to me. Ever since Chris had left, I was lonesome in this big house by myself. Whenever I am bored and Tamara is up, I have fun playing peek-a-boo with her and having her smile cheerfully, showing off her bright pink gums.

But today was the day that all those feelings would be gone. I will know who the father is. I can finally complete my child's birth certificate. I showered and put my clothes on before Tamara woke back up. (Picture in the MM). Jaycee said that she would be there with me for comfort and she was sitting by my bed, watching over Tamara.

"AJ's at Honey's?" I asked, putting on lotion.

"Yeah, she still want you to bring TJ to her house," She said as she picked up the baby since she started to fuss.

"I'll bring her today. I need a baby sitter anyways."

"What time are you meeting Drake and Chris again?"

"In about thirty minutes."

"Alright."

We drove to the clinic that would tell us the results, first dropping off Tamara to Honey. Honey and Wayne were so happy to see her. I told them I would pick her back up after the results, but they insisted that she stay longer.

Once we got to the clinic, Drake and Chris were already there. We sat in the waiting room, all looking nervous as hell.

"What's taking so long?" Drake asked impatiently.

 "The doctor said that he had to look for the file. He said that there was a lot of them to go through and that he thinks they put ours in the wrong place." I replied.

"Ugh, idiots" Chris muttered.

I looked over at Jaycee. She looked like she was ready for the results too. Everyone was waiting for this day to come for a long time. Now that it is finally here, it's going by so slow.

"Ms. Brooks?" The nurse asked.

"Yes," I said standing up.

"The doctor has found your file, please follow me to the back room. You can bring the rest of them too," She said, directing us to a door that led to the back of the clinic.

"The doctor will be back in a moment, he's with another patient at this moment," the nurse announced before leaving the room.

"Oh my gosh, more waiting," Drake said.

"This is taking way to long," Chris said.

"I am really tired too," Jaycee said.

After about ten minutes, the doctor finally came in.

"Hello Ms. Brooks, hello friends," The doctor said.

"Hi," We all said.

"I have the results of your DNA test," He continued.

We were all silent, telling him to continue.

"With Aubrey's test, it came out negative. With Chris' test, it came out positive." The doctor finished.

I froze. Time completely stopped. I looked over at Jaycee, Chris, and Drake. Jaycee was looking at me with a concerned look. Chris' eyes were lit up, and he was utterly shocked. Drake, however, looked pale. I didn't know how I felt. I was more shocked than anything. I mean, it's not like I thought it was Drake's or something. I had no clue who the baby father was. But  now that I did know, all the questions from these weeks popped up in my head. What will Drake think? What will Chris think? How will my relationship with them change?

The thing that brought me back to reality was a warm hand on my shoulder. It was Jaycee. I realized that both Drake and Chris had walked out of the room. I just sat there, shaking uncontrollably.

"Danielle...are you okay?" Jaycee asked.

"Y-Yeah," I partially lied. I actually didn't know if I would be okay or not.

Drake

"With Aubrey's test, it came out negative. With Chris' test, it came out positive."

Those words rang in my head over and over again. My heart was shattered. Tamara wasn't mine. I didn't have a child with the love of my life. Despite that, I still didn't know if Trina was lying or not. I didn't trust her like I do Dani. I don't know if her daughter is mine too, but I know Dani's isn't. I knew I should have been prepared for either result, but it hurts once you realize that your worst nightmares are a reality.

"So is she yours?" Trina texted me.

"No."

"Well, don't be sad. You have a one year old daughter waiting for you. You still never came to see her. How about today?"

"I'll come over tomorrow," I replied. I couldn't face to see another child that may or may not be mine today.

With that, I left out of the clinic.

Chris

"With Chris' test, it came out positive."

That's all I could think about. I was the father of Dani's baby. Tamara was mine. We will become a family. We will be happy. So many thoughts ran through my head. I knew that I would have to move back to L.A. I knew I had to apologize to Dani for so many things. I want us to get married and buy a new house. I want to start saving up money for Tamara when she gets older. I want us to be the perfect family. Michelle and Barack.

I had walked out of the room with Chris to give Dani some privacy. Drake had walked towards the door we had came in. I stood in the hallway near the door Dani was in. She was in complete shock when she heard the results. I didn't even know if that was a good or bad thing.

After a few more minutes, I asked Jaycee if it was alright if I came in. She said it was.

"Where's Drake?" Dani asked as soon as I walked in. I didn't expect that to be her first question, but I wasn't upset either.

"I think he left," I said. I looked her over. She was back to normal, but I still couldn't put a finger on the emotions running through her mind. I wish I knew. I wish she knew what I was feeling. I felt like the happiest man alive. Nothing could bring me down right now.
