Steve’s day started like any other — a kiss goodbye from his pregnant wife, Laura, and a promise to cook dinner. At work, he was distracted by baby names and routine meetings, until his son, Jackson, sent a chilling text: “Dad, please come home! It’s about Mom! I’m scared.”
Racing home, Steve was met by his pale, shaken mother on the porch. What she said shattered his world — Laura was cheating. His mother had caught her with another man when she came over unexpectedly. Jackson, confused and frightened, had seen the aftermath.
Inside, the truth unraveled: Laura, crying and apologetic, admitted to the affair but wasn’t sure if the baby was Steve’s. Jackson’s heartbreak only deepened the pain.
Later, Steve took his son out for dinner, trying to offer him some sense of stability. That night, Laura begged for forgiveness and promised to make things right. But Steve couldn’t see a clear path forward — not until a DNA test confirmed the baby’s paternity.
As Laura started therapy, Steve vowed to stay until the baby was born. But the future of their marriage remained uncertain.
