"What do you want Dan?" I asked with a sigh, walking down the stairs whilst holding two boxes.
"Have you sent off the swabs yet?" he asked.
"I told you, I need a swab from you and I'd call when I got the results," I sighed again, jamming those boxes into the back seat of my car.
"Henley is three months old! If she's my kid I've missed..." he began.
I whipped around to face him, "Henley is not your daughter! We fucked two weeks before she was conceived but even then I was too drunk to fucking remember it happened!" he stood in silence after I'd cut him off.
"I didn't even know you were pregnant, let alone had her, until the night I called you," he softly told me.
"There's are reasons for that. It's called you cheating on me and me blocking you out of my life," anger was bubbling up inside me as we looked at each other.
I grabbed the DNA kit the lady had given me and pulled out the swab, "Open up,." I then swabbed the inside of his mouth then put the swap back into the tube. "Go home and I'll call you when we know," sighing again, I returned to the house to grab more of my stuff.
"If you don't call..." he paused, searching for the words to say.
"What are you gonna do? Take away a child that's not yours?" he rolled his eyes then returned to his car.
A heavy sigh left my lips as I walked back up the stairs, grabbing two bags full of my clothes and two bags full of Henley's clothes. Luke was had stayed home to look after Henley and start putting her and my stuff away. Dan had been jumping down my throat for the paternity test, determined to prove to me Henley was his. Luke and I had been arguing for over an hour almost every day, we almost split over it, but we managed to hold off on the fighting until we knew the results.
On my way back to Luke's house I sent off all the samples for the test. I was told it could take three days up to twelve weeks. So I wasn't expecting anything too soon. When I got back to the Hemmings' I was pleasantly surprised Luke was setting up a nursery for Henley.

Once I'd put the bags down I gave Luke a quick kiss then picked up Henley from her play mat on the floor. I smothered her cheek with kisses then looked around the nursery.
"It looks really good," I praised.
"Thanks," he smiled sheepishly. "I figured since she's getting a bit older and will be able to sleep in her on room soon, she should have a nice room," he rambled.
"You love it, huh?" I asked Henley then kissed her cheek again.
She smiled at me then tried to shove her fist in my mouth. I removed said hand before going to say hello to Liz and Andrew. Liz was in the study marking some of her students' homework while Andrew was in his room watching TV. After saying hello I helped Luke put away all the clothes and move his, well our, room around. Henley was lying on our bed, propped up by a feeding pillow, while sucking on her dummy. Luke and I would occasionally goof off from putting everything away but we managed to get most of my stuff put away.
Just as we were finishing up and I was about to grab Henley, my phone started ringing. When Dan's number showed up on the screen I groaned but I did answer.
"What?" I asked harshly.
"So hostile...damn," Dan slurred.
"And see, even if you could be Henley's father, which there is no possibility you can be, this is why I would not want you in her life. You're a drunk, a whore and most of all, a cunt," I yelled at him down the phone then hung up. I looked at Luke, who just stared at me, then picked up our daughter, "what?" I asked.
"That was...maybe...a bit too far," he meekly told me. "But, you're not wrong though."
"I thought I was done with him two years ago," I sighed.
"I know. But hey, she looks like me so as soon as we get that confirmation he's gone forever," he assured me, then kissed my forehead softly.
Later on Liz told us that she and Andrew were going out for lunch as well as that Ben was going to be dropping in to grab some stuff. I sat on the bed and watched Luke enter the room after Putting Henley down for a sleep.
"You know..." I began, "we never got to consummate the marriage," I cheekily told him.
Luke bit his lip with a smirk as he made his way over to me. Luke placed a passionate kiss onto my lips as he pushed me back onto the bed. Within no time he'd taken my shirt and shorts off and I'd taken off his shirt and jeans also. He began grinding against me whilst kissing my neck, causing a moan to erupt from my lips. Just as he was about to take my bra off a loud bang erupted from the front of the house.
"Honey I'm home!" Ben shouted.
Luke and I scrambled to get dressed. Just after Luke had left the room to see his brother, Henley started crying. I sighed to myself then rushed to get her.
"Thanks for waking her Ben," I sarcastically told him as I walked into the living room.
"Well she's awake just in time to see her favourite uncle," he told me, taking Henley from my arms. I rolled my eyes but smiled, "she's getting so big."
"Well she is two months old now," Luke told him.
"Jesus. I better get cracking, huh? You're married with a baby, Jack and Celeste are going to get engaged soon, and I'm the oldest with nothing to show for it," he rambled.
"You'll get there," Luke chuckled.
"You guys are going to have another kid before I find a woman," he joked.
