Karla: You look like you’ve had a
shock.
Chris: Yeah, that phone call threw me for
a loop. My ex-girlfriend is
pregnant and she wants me to take a
paternity test.
Karla: Wow, that’s quite a
bombshell. Are you going to do it?
Chris: Of course. If the baby is
biologically mine, I want to take
responsibility for it. I wanted to start a family
with my ex: get married and have children –
the whole shebang. So if the baby is
mine, I’ll provide child support, no
question. I might even fight for
custody.
Karla: Really? That’s astounding.
Most guys would be hoping that the baby isn’t
theirs. What did your ex-girlfriend say when
you told her?
Chris: She thought I would be
outraged or something. Instead, she
was the one who was left stunned.
Karla: I’m surprised, too. Not many guys
would want to have a child without being
married.
Chris: One part of me hopes the baby isn’t
mine, only because my relationship with my
ex-girlfriend is over and I don’t want to
rekindle it. But I’m not getting any
younger and another part of me really wants to
be a father.
Karla: Well, the DNA test will give
you proof, one way or the
other. Just cross your fingers...
Chris: I would, but I’m not sure which outcome
I want more!
