I stared at him, unsure of what to expect. My husband looked down at his hands, fidgeting like a child caught doing something wrong. Finally, he blurted out, “I don’t think she’s mine.”
I blinked, utterly confused. “What are you talking about?”

He sighed deeply, avoiding my gaze. “While you were gone, I was up late reading, and I fell down this rabbit hole about paternity fraud and genetic traits. I started looking at her features… her hair, her nose, her eyes. She doesn’t look like me, and I—I just can’t shake the feeling.”
I was stunned into silence for a moment before I found my voice. “You’re telling me you’ve been sitting here, alone with our daughter, obsessing over whether she looks like you instead of just loving her?”

He flinched at my tone. “It’s not like that. It’s just… I don’t know. She doesn’t feel like she’s mine.”
My jaw dropped. “She’s nine weeks old! Of course she doesn’t look like anyone yet! Babies change, for God’s sake.”

But he shook his head. “I’m sorry, but I can’t get it out of my head. I—I think we should do a paternity test, just to be sure.”
I stared at him, feeling a mix of anger and heartbreak. “Are you serious right now? You think I cheated on you?”

“I don’t *think* you cheated,” he said quickly. “I just… I need to be certain. For my own peace of mind.”
I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. After everything—agreeing to have a child when I wasn’t ready, adjusting my life to include his dreams—this was how he repaid me? By doubting me?
