Started saving for a house when I was like 13. So my plan was always to, you know, buy a house and, you know, start a life and get a job and get married, have kids. You know, that's all, you know, the normal kind of like flow of things.

We were never exclusive. It was nothing official like that. And she was fun. We went to high school together. She was cool. She was popular. She was really pretty and had a lot of friends. And, you know, everything was cool.

I actually remember the moment precisely. I'm driving to work and she calls me and says that she thinks she's pregnant. You know, your heart just dives down deep into your stomach and this can't be real. But yeah, she was. She took the tests, went to the doctor, confirmed definitely pregnant.

You know, she doesn't recall any kind of significant moment that would lead her to believe it's either one of us in particular. So as far as I'm concerned, it's a coin toss. And she's very early stages pregnancy, not showing or anything like that. What do you do? Do you wait until the baby's born?

I've never been in a situation like this. So we just look up, is it possible to do a DNA test before a baby's born? And we find this company that will do a prenatal DNA test. And I'm like, what? What does that even mean? What is that? What does that mean?

Yeah, this guy shows up in this old car, comes to the door with a briefcase and decides that he's gonna do this DNA test at our kitchen table, which is a pigsty. And I remember I just having to scoop beer cans to the side and he throws down his briefcase and whips out needles. And my gut's telling me this is probably not the best situation. It didn't seem super legit.

What are we going to do, back out? You know, we're kids. We don't know any better. We're like, I guess this is just normal. This is what people do. And yeah, this guy takes my blood right there at my kitchen table with all my buddies there and stuffs my little vial of blood into his briefcase and walks out the door with it.

And I guess I just kind of trusted that, you know, a proper test is going to be done and I can trust these results.

And I still remember where I was at when this phone call went down. I was on my way home from work and I pulled over in a random grocery store parking lot.

And I remember thinking it was a little bit odd that they were kind of like, oh, we have the results. We got them here. Oh, yeah, it was positive. It's a match.
