Everyone Went Quiet
This story is about the birth of the couple’s third child. When the baby was born, it was quite obvious that it didn’t look anything like either the mother or the father. Everyone went very quiet.
The nurse that was telling me the story said she took a moment of silence as she realized what had happened…then she tried to act normally but waited for the outburst. She said the tension was unreal. The guy started for a minute at a child that was very obviously not his.
The mom was already in tears and talking very fast. The guy stood up, looked around for a minute, then left the room. He never even said a word. He wasn’t seen again at the hospital.
The mom spent the rest of the day on her phone. The nurse doesn’t think she ever found him. Allegedly, the father cut all ties immediately, and would only speak about the care of his two biological kids only through his lawyer. I take my hat off to the guy. Story credit: Reddit / Mahhrat
