I soon replayed the events of that night.

The avoidance as though dodging the inevitable.

Her now confessing to avoiding embarrassment

Then the animated voice and sweetheart I'll be home soon

She wasn't talking to her man she was talking to her s... my so...

It can't be!!!

Putting the pieces together, the conclusion was now clear

QED

Holy Son of GOD!!

"Jaylan, Liam's your son!" she softly spoke, adding color to the black and white image I had painted in my mind

I have a son!

I'm a father!

He's my son, he uttered looking intensely, almost ferociously at the young lad

The intensity of his shock properly illustrated the magnitude of the situation he was in right now, sky high.

He sat there in utter shock as nothing but a tidal wave of emotions washed his being at the moment.

Heartbreak                                                                                           Betrayal

Denial                                                                                                      Joy

Utter Happiness                                                                                  Pride

                                                      And most of all LOVE

He sat there looking in those piercing grey eyes for a moment, welcoming the fact that he had created such a one. This is where the Pride, Joy and utter Happiness came in. This was a new lease on life he thought, my new beginning until the uncontrollable feeling of doubt kicked it.

He can't be mine

I mean.....

He's ,.....

He doesn't..

He couldn't find one logical thing to rebut and make his argument transparent and like the devil himself presenting the one fact needed, the color of his eyes.

Aha!!

He can't be mine. We don't have the same eye color he butted in.

She rose her hand to give him a slap upright the head but referred to his shoulder instead.

You Dummy! She exclaimed.

Don't you know that a recessive gene can skip a generation for example like with your father and your son – grandfather to grandson.

I thought you were the bio student she calmly said, but soon sympathized as she thought of all he was feeing right now. He sat there and registered what was aid and soon enough processed it and then the likely possibility that green and blue with a history of grey can give you grey. By this time her hands were now covering his, providing whatever means of help she could as silent tears ran down his face. He looked once more at the pic and begged to see more. He sat there for a moment, trying to wrap his head around the fact that he has brought new life into this world and he now has a greater responsibility, one that comes before even his own needs and cares.
