Man Suspects Kid Is Not His, Takes DNA Test – Story of the Day
After a short breakup, Emily and Matthew rekindled their relationship and discovered they were pregnant. The couple got married, had the baby, and were happy until people started questioning why their child looked nothing like his father. Matthew demanded a test, and Emily had no other choice. But then, he revealed the shocking reason why he needed it.
Emily’s hands shook as she held the envelope in her hands. It contained the DNA test results they had just taken for their son, Alexander. Tears gathered in her eyes, and she didn’t want to open it. Matthew was beside her, trying to offer some comfort, but he worried too, his teeth gnawing into his bottom lip.

Luckily, they rekindled their relationship and worked through their issues, fully committed and planning a future together. But Emily stumbled upon a problem. She had been puking uncontrollably for several days.
Matthew left for work early, so he had no idea, and her puking spells stopped at around 10 a.m. But she was worried. Everyone knows what that kind of vomiting could mean. She took a pregnancy test after puking all morning, and it was positive.
She was pregnant, which wouldn’t normally be bad news. Her boyfriend had already expressed a desire to start a family. This would only speed their plans. The issue was that Emily had dated another man during their short breakup. There was a chance the baby didn’t...
