My Unwanted Child

Chapter 12

Nathan POV:

I got a call from my mother and she said it was an emergency.  I hated leaving Mia and Ethan when we were going to have breakfast.  I took a quick shower and got dressed and then headed to my parents house which was just 5-10min away.  I figured the sooner I get this "emergency" over with the sooner I can head back home. 

I walked inside and I was told my mother is waiting in the parlor for me.  Once I walked in I sighed.  There was Bianca with a smirk.  I instantly paused,  no, this isn't happening.  "Son, come sit down."  I took a deep breath but made sure to go and sit on the single chair across from Bianca. 

"What is this about mother? And why is she here?"  Bianca gave me that all knowing smile like she thinks she's got me by the balls.  "Nathan, we have some things to discuss."  I looked away and started taking a few deep breaths so I don't snap.  "Just come out with it.  What is this big emergency?" 

I saw my mother sigh,  "I'm pregnant!  You're going to be a daddy!"  Bianca screeched out.  My face dropped.  "That's not possible!  Last time we were... Uh....together was at least 3-4months ago and I may have been drunk but I know for a fact I used a condom!"  My mother was looking down.  "Where's dad?"  She pointed towards his office and I nodded.  I instantly stood up and stormed down the hallway.

I knocked on my fathers door cause I know better then to burst in.  "Come in Nathan."  I walked in and went straight to his drink cart not caring it was 10am.  I poured some whiskey and then sat down at my dads desk.  "It's not mine.  It's not possible."  But my dad just shook his head.  "Son, I just can't,  I can't keep bailing you out of your predicaments."  This made me furious.  "I'm telling you it's not mine.  Honestly, I only had sex with her three damn times in two years and the last time was over three months ago and I'll be honest, I was drunk and never even finished so there's no way!"  I screamed out. 

My father took a deep breath,  "It's out of my hands.  Her parents contacted us and they're good friends of your mother.  They all want you to do the right thing and so does your mother."  I was dumbfounded. He couldn't mean what I think he means.  "No, no!  Absolutely not!  I will not marry her!" 

"Look son, I understand.  And I'm on your side.  But we won't know if this child is yours or not until she gives birth.  She's 14 weeks pregnant.  It lines up to that gala you took her too.  She is swearing she hasn't been with anyone except for you in 2 years.  She is planning on going public."  My mind was racing.  No!  This can't be happening.  I finally have Mia back in my life, well I'm trying to get her back.  This will ruin everything. 

"Look, I convinced them not to have a wedding until after the baby is born and then we will get a DNA test,  Bianca was reluctant about that which makes me think she is lying.  But she agreed as long as you two get engaged.  Her family agreed to this and your mother is over the moon. Just play along for the next 5 1/2 months until she gives birth.  If the child indeed isn't yours you can walk away.  But.." oh here it is, I know there's a catch there is always a catch.

"But what dad?  What's the deal you and mother planned for me once again?"  I couldn't not see the hurt in his eye, he was having a hard time.  "But, you need to sign a contract.  You will be engaged and fully committed.  No fooling around or cheating.  You need to court her and support her in the pregnancy.  And after the baby is born and if you truly aren't the father you can walk, but if it is your child you need to marry her within 6 months."  This is bullshit! 

"No, my answer is no.  I know it's not my child and I refuse to play house with her and ruin any chance I may have to win back Mia and my son."  My dad sighed.  "Son, this will end badly one way or another.  I didn't want to tell you this.  I had no idea,  but your mother went behind our backs and filled for custody on your behalf of Ethan". What, no, Mia is going to flip.  I'll never have a chance.

"Look, if you deny this contract then Bianca she will blast you in the media and when the court day comes you will have no chance of being in your sons life.  Your mom played this so well.  If you agree and try to show a united front with Bianca it'll look good. The public thinks you two have been together anyway and your engagement will make you look responsible.  It'll show you don't walk away from your responsibilities. It can help when this case goes to court.  If not Bianca already threatened to drag you through the media with everything she has."

I just shook my head.  This can't be happening.  I have a son, yeah I was an idiot and walked away from him as well as the love of my life but I won't make that mistake again.  If Bianca's child is mine which I highly doubt I will take responsibility from the start but I refuse to be with Bianca. 

I started to leave my dads office but he placed his hand on my shoulder.  "Son, take Bianca out to dinner and try to talk to her.  Maybe if you explain the situation she might be reasonable.  I recommend a public outing so she won't go crazy. Plus she'll get the attention from media that she is craving which will put her in a better mood."  I couldn't even look at my father and just shook my head. 

I walked back into the parlor and found my mother and Bianca looking through wedding magazines. When my mom saw me again she jumped up and gave me a hug,  "Son, I am so happy.  Bianca will be such an amazing wife."  I couldn't even hug my mother back.  I felt disgusted and betrayed.  "Mother, can I speak with Bianca alone?" She quickly nodded and smiled.

"Bianca?  What are you trying to do here?  What exactly do you want?"  I tried to speak as calmly and friendly as possible.  "Babe, I just want us to be a family.  You, me and our little peanut."  I looked up so I didn't roll my eyes at her.  "Can I be honest with you?"  She smiled and nodded.  So fake.  "I'm in love with another woman.  And did you know I have a child.  I  want my son in my life." 

She waved her hand in front of her face.  "You'll get over whatever infatuation you had, and your mother told me about the kid, Alex or whatever.  I don't care,  about that.  I'll play step mom, plus once he starts boarding school all your attention will be on your legitimate child.  To be honest, who knows if he is even yours?  You never got a DNA test." 

Just breath Nathan, just breath.  She's a female.  And she's pregnant.  After a few breaths I spoke.  "I have no doubt in my mind about my son.  I don't need a DNA test.  Now as for your child, I want a DNA test."  Then she started shedding tears.  They were so fake it was almost funny. 

"How can you say that?  How do you think our baby is going to feel when it finds out their father tried to deny them?  And to top is off you want a DNA test for our baby but not for that, that whores child!"  That was my last straw.  I instantly got up and walked away before I said or did something I may regret.  I jumped in my car and left.  I heard that bitch screaming after me, but I could care less.
