Click hereThe baby arrived and we heard her crying. Julie's mom looked at me and I looked over at the baby. She had black hair and had dark skin. Not black but kind of an olive color. My worst thoughts had just hit me. The baby was not mine but Mario's. Julie hadn't seen the baby yet but the look on my face must have been shock as Julie asked, "What's the matter? Is my baby alright?"
The doctor said the baby's fine. The nurse cleaned off the little baby and handed her to Julie. Julie had tears in her eyes as she looked at her baby and then at me. I couldn't speak, my mind was a mess. My worst nightmare had just happened.
I was walking out of the birthing room when Julie asked me where I was going, I told her I didn't know, I needed time to think as I walked out of the room. My parents saw the tears in my eyes as I came to the waiting room. Some of our relatives were there waiting with mom and dad and also with Julie's dad.
"What is it, Shawn? Is the baby alright?" asked my mother.
"The baby's fine," I replied. You can all go and see her now." I walked to the elevators hearing my folks yelling at me, asking me where I was going. I didn't answer, because I honestly didn't know.
I went to a local bar and had a couple of drinks. I waited about two hours before going back to the hospital. I knew I had to face the situation sooner or later. What was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life turned into a disaster.
My dad was waiting for me in the lobby. He told me he saw the baby and asked what I was going to do?
"I don't know, dad; I love Julie but I know it's not my kid."
Dad told me there was all kind of arguments after I left. Everyone was picking sides and Julie cried almost the whole time I was gone. I walked in the room and Julie was there with my mom and her mother. I asked them both to please step out so I could talk to Julie alone.
"I'm so sorry, Shawn. You have to believe me; I did believe the baby was yours. I was only with Mario the one time and I've never been with another man since we've been married. I asked the doctor again and he said it's easy to be off by a week. He didn't know that date was so important. What are we going to do? I love you so much."
"Julie, I can't raise a child that's not mine, I'm sorry. Give the baby up for adoption and we can go on the way we have been. I can take the heat and we'll just tell people you made a mistake."
"What? I made a mistake? What about you, Shawn? It was you that let all this happen. I went along and am now paying the price. Why can't you just tell the truth and we'll take our daughter home and be a family?"
"She's not my daughter. She's Mario's. Let him have her. I'm not raising a kid that's not mine. You have a choice; you keep the baby and I'm gone."
"You can't be serious? It's my baby! I've carried her for the last nine months. I love you with all my heart, but I'm not giving up my baby because of what people think or say."
I went home that night but couldn't sleep. My mind was a mess. I knew some people would be calling Julie all sorts of names. They didn't know the truth; she didn't deserve it. I remembered my mother didn't seem overly surprised. I went to see her the next day and I asked her why.
"Shawn, when you were just a child you had rheumatic fever and the mumps at the same time. The doctor said at the time that you would fully recover but there might be a chance that you may not be able to father children."
"What? Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"You're only twenty-two and I was waiting to see if you were able to have kids. I had no reason to scare you while growing up. When Julie got pregnant, I was so happy for you but I did wonder."
"Mom, you should have told me."
"What good would that have done? As I told you, the doctor said maybe you wouldn't be able to father children. What are you going to do now, Shawn?"
My dad had come into the room. I know he looked very disappointed. He was crazy about Julie but now this. He asked me if I knew who the father was.
While we were talking, my sister Joyce came into the room She said that after I had left the hospital she had a talk with Julie.
"I asked Julie why she had an affair on my brother, because you love her so much.
"Julie said, 'Joyce, I love Shawn and I didn't cheat on him. I would never do that. I really did believe that the baby was his.' "
"Shawn," said Joyce. "I believe her. I think she is telling the truth. When I asked her more questions she said I needed to talk to you. What the hell is going on, Shawn? We're family and willing to help you but we need the truth."
What could I do? I told them the truth. I saw the sad look on their faces. I just couldn't go through life with them thinking that Julie was a slut that cheated on me. I know I hurt them. No parents want to think of their kid doing what I did.
I tried to explain that we had too much to drink; I never told them about the weed. Of course I did tell them it was Mario and Maria. I was pretty sure they had it figured out already. "It was a one time thing and a giant mistake. I'm so sorry for letting you down as parents. I hope you don't hate me."
"Shawn, you're our son. We hate what you did, but we don't hate you or Julie. Maybe you two were just too young and probably shouldn't have even gotten married yet. Now there is a baby in the picture and she's not yours. What are your plans?" asked mom.
"I gave Julie a choice. The baby or me. I told her to give the baby up for adoption and we could go on with our lives."
"She's not giving up her daughter, Shawn. She already told me that. You can imagine how hard this must be on her," said my sister.
"I can't do it! I can't raise a child that I know isn't mine." I know I had tears in my eyes.
I went in and talked to Julie one more time. She told me again how much she loved me but she wasn't giving up her little girl, even if it meant losing the man she loved more than anyone but her daughter.
----------------------------------------
The next day I went in and saw my supervisor and told him I was taking the job overseas. Next, I went to see a lawyer. I was now mad at Julie. She picked this baby over me. Well, I thought she could raise the child by herself or contact Mario and let him support his kid.
Julie's parents picked her and the baby up at the hospital and brought them home. I tried one more time to reason with her but she was adamant about the kid; she was going to keep her. I contacted a lawyer and he said if I was tested and the child was proven not to be mine I wouldn't have to give Julie either child support or alimony. We weren't married that long.
I lived at my parents' for the next two weeks before going overseas. I never even said goodbye to the woman I thought I loved. I let her have everything we owned except for a few suitcases of my clothes. We didn't have much and I didn't have to pay anything in support.
My parents stayed out of it but my sister told me I was making a huge mistake, that Julie loved me and I was giving up the best thing in my life. I told Joyce that the decision was made by Julie, she had a choice and the choice she made was the baby that wasn't mine.
I left for Iraq the next day.
------------------------
I was extremely busy my first month in the Iraq-Kuwait area. My specialty was doing electrical work and some of these areas were devastated. The problem was the destruction was so bad we had weeks of cleanup before we could even begin rebuilding. We went one building at a time, cleaning up the debris and then started reconstruction and in many cases, rebuilding the different structures. It was far from a cakewalk. So much rubble and waste needed to be cleaned up.
We began with hospitals and schools. I even worked late at night trying to make life a little more bearable for these people. I felt good doing my part to help restore these buildings and help these casualties of war. They were just innocent people who were bombed by some of their own people.
Most of us workers slept in a building together. We had the necessities like water and electricity. It was kind of like sharing a dorm with schoolmates except we were all grown men just trying to make an extra buck. Most were single or divorced like me. There were a few married men also. I knew how both sides felt.
I was there three months when my divorce papers came through. I was so hoping it wouldn't happen, but it did. I went outside by myself and cried. Julie was the best thing that ever happened to me but because of our stupid swapping night and Julie not giving up the baby, we were no longer married.
Of course I thought of Julie often. She's one of the reasons I worked so late. As long as I was working, my mind didn't focus on Julie. Another month went by when I received a letter from my sister Joyce who asked me to call her. Phone calls were expensive so I only made calls about once a month. It was usually my mom or Joyce I talked to.
She told me that Julie agreed to sign the divorce papers and let me have my freedom. I felt bad; I didn't want freedom, I wanted Julie.
I had told Joyce that I asked my lawyer to locate Mario and start proceedings to get support for Julie and the baby. Joyce told me that Julie put a stop to it. She didn't want any help from Mario; in fact she didn't want him to know about Gina. Gina is what Julie named the baby. She was named after her mother whose name was Virginia.
"Joyce, how is Julie doing?" I asked.
"She's doing alright for a divorced mother with a child," replied Joyce.
God, that hurt! I didn't want to argue with Joyce. That part was over with. We agreed to disagree. She was my sister and I loved her but I don't think she understood what I was going through either. I wanted Julie; I just didn't want to raise a kid that wasn't mine.
"Shawn, I'd lied to you," said Joyce. "Physically Julie is doing fine. Financially, she is in kind of a bind. I know her mom and dad are helping her out some and children's services are helping her also. The baby was sick and was in the hospital a few days and Julie didn't have the finances to cover it."
"Is the baby alright?" I asked.
"She's fine now. She caught a cold and it turned into pneumonia. Of course she didn't have any insurance since the divorce and the baby wasn't covered under yours since you didn't claim her. They ran up about an eight thousand dollar bill that Julie has to make payments on each month.
"If she would have gone after Mario, he would have been responsible for his kid and have to help support her. Why didn't she do it? My lawyer was going to help her."
"She doesn't want Mario in the baby's life. If she would go after him for support, he would have a right to see Gina anytime. He could actually get custody part-time. Julie wants nothing to do with him. The birth certificate says, 'father unknown' and she wants to keep it that way."
I finished talking to my sister and sat and thought for a while. I contacted my lawyer and asked him if I sent any money to Julie would I be obligating myself in anyway. I wanted to help her a little financially but not be held accountable for any support in the future.
He told me I could always make a gift to anyone. It would in no-way make me responsible. He mentioned it would be best to do it through a family member rather than directly from me.
I contacted my mom and asked her if she has ever seen Julie. She was almost mute for about what seemed like a minute but was probably only a few seconds.
"Yes, Shawn. We see Julie every week. She brings the baby over and we visit for a couple of hours."
"What? I can't believe this! My own parents are turning against me," I said.
"No, Shawn, it's not like that at all. We have always liked Julie and she visits with us. She takes her baby wherever she goes. She's doesn't talk bad of you at all. In fact she always asks about you."
"It's not my kid, Mom; doesn't anyone understand that?"
"We all understand, Shawn. Nobody's blaming you for anything. It doesn't mean we can't be friends with Julie, does it?"
"I'm sorry, Mom. I guess I'm just thinking stupid. Look, Mom, Joyce said that Julie is having some financial problems. Is that true?
"Yes, Gina was sick and she had some medical expenses. Why are you asking?"
"I want to help. I'm making a lot of money and investing most of it. I want to send some money and I want you to give it to Julie to help pay up some of her expenses."
I heard my mom crying on the other end of the phone. "Mom, stop crying, please. Look, just give it to her and don't tell her it's from me."
"No, Shawn, I'm not lying to her. We'll tell her the truth. How much will you be sending Shawn?
"Joyce said her debt was around eight thousand dollars. I'll transfer ten thousand. That should help her pay off her debt. Mom, I love you and you take care. I have to go now."
I put more time into my work. I was working twelve to sixteen hours a day. I got a letter from my mom saying that she gave Julie the check and she cried for an hour. It made me cry. Damn, why is life so cruel?

3* for being overly simplistic and and cliché filled. Plus Shawn is a douche bag. He made his bed but refused to accept responsibility. His wife is better off without the loser.
Poor story. You would think one's parents and siblings would be there to back him while he was hurting. I foresee a badly written RAAC coming up.
When it happened, why not take measures then? Morning after, etc. D&C also could do it. They knew it was possible, and they did nothing. D
Should be subtitled: punk ass Shawn has wanderlust, thinking with his dick swaps wife, regrets it and then whines why doesn't anybody understand MY pain. Dumbass. Hopefully he wises up next chapter and sees he is every but if not more responsible for the situation and man up rather than telling a woman to get rid of the child she just birthed because his ego can't handle his own fuck up. Shawn needs to man up. Send like there's a glimmer here he might.
Julie made her choice she needs to be an adult and take care of her child. Shawn is not the father he has no reason to stay. Julie should raise her kid with the kids father. Julie and Shawn did nothing wrong but they both need to never see eachother again.
The predominant message I get from this chapter is that Shawn is immature, and needs to grow up. He played a very adult game, and can’t handle the consequence. This isn’t Julie’s fault, or Gina’s fault, or really even Shawn’s fault. But it still has to be dealt with responsibly. And not by throwing the baby away.
Maybe being in the service will help him grow up to be a man. Being a man entails more than doing what you want whenever you want. It means voluntarily putting on a set of shackles that binds you to other human beings for a lifetime.
If one isn’t willing to get into harness for those he loves and is responsible for, then he isn’t a Real Man. He’s just a little boy in a man’s body.
Who's a good boy? WHO'S A GOOD BOY? You are! You are such a good little boy! You're mommy's own golden boy. And you wiped all on your own! Mommy is so proud of you! Now give all of your money to those people, and you'll get all the pats and hugs you crave. Oh, none of this makes any sense whatsoever if you're not totally nuts? Oh, mommy will press the reset button that will take away your memories of the preceding events, so acting as if nothing of importance had happened will be both natural and convenient. After all, it's so much easier to reset your characters, than write a good story.
Sorry Shawn needs to man up. He allowed the seduction of his wife so that he could fuck Maria. It is mostly on him.
DG imagines his wife fucking other men but doesn't want everyone to know that. It's why he tosses it shit like this and forced. Dude probably photoshopped his wife into porn photos and are hidden on his computer.
If he hasn't, he will tomorrow
Wow, some of these stories I don’t even remember I read already. And, I voted them harshly as well. I like them better the second time. Am I just voting my mods?!
Julie made her choice she needs to be an adult and take care of her child. Shawn is not the father he has no reason to stay. Julie should raise her kid with the kids father. Julie and Shawn did nothing wrong but they both need to never see eachother again.
This guy is a Neanderthal. Total idiot. Sorry kinda lost interest after he left her for the stupidest of reason.
Damn, if only there was a readily-accessible pill you could take to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Honestly, it's a good thing Shawn is infertile because that level of dumb should probably not be passed on to a new generation.
Seriously ?? What a stupid fucking story !!
No husband & father treats his wife that way. He’s the one who initiated the swap. I know it’s only a story but who writes like that? Piss poor. Won’t read more ! Intense dislike !😡
Shaw is immature and a bell-end.
I suppose a morning after pill would have stuffed the story.
This story wonderfully illustrates why children should not get married. Both Shawn and Julie are children; at 22 and 21, they are grossly immature and have no real sense of relationships or the world at large. Plus, Shawn has a large streak of asshole in him, with a double standard the size of a mountain. And Julie didn’t have the common sense to take a morning after pill after letting a strange man cum inside her - either stupidity or naivete, your choice. Dumb people, dumb story.
If his wife carried a fetus full term there should have been a sense of parental love developing with "his" child. When he learned that his decision to swap partners resulted in the other man being the father of "his" daughter I can understand him wanting to walk away but at the same time he should have realized that it was his decision to share his wife that led to her getting pregnant. The emotions he felt for his wife and "his" daughter should have had a stronger influence on his reactions and made him listen to his wife and the love he had for "their" daughter.
Just a point; they are a married couple, she doesn’t practice any form of birth control, (why?) he doesn’t use condoms. Presumably they have regular sex together, as we later find out he is unable to father children, but they didn’t know that at the time. Did they not wonder why she wasn’t already pregnant?
I guess both the husband and the wife are at fault here. The husband for agreeing to the swap, and the wife for agreeing to unprotected sex, or forgetting about the morning after pill, etc. There is always the risk. And honestly, the husband could have reminded her of that, too.
Shit happened, I guess.
This is a case where two (2) RIGHTS make a WRONG, Shawn was right not to raise and be a father to another man’s child and Julie was right to keep and raise her baby. Just an overall bad situation that two(2) intelligent adults should have been able to figure out early on. It’s called the Morning After Pill. Great story, well written.
For the people bashing the husband. Yes, the swapping was a bad idea. Alcohol and pot tend to help people make really bad decisions.
Even high and drunk Shawn tried to do the right thing by pulling out of Maria since he didn't know her birth control situation. It's pretty obvious Mario was an asshole but, why would Julie let him cum inside her knowing she wasn't on birth control???
She had two chances to choose her husband over Mario and she chose Mario both times. I get that she really loves Sean but, the two critical times she should have put her husband first she didn't.
Possibly just a technicality but early in the story it is mentioned that they were monogamous and didn’t use condoms? So as his wife wasn’t on any form of birth control were they actually trying for a baby?
I would not raise another man's bastard. They were both wrong for swapping though...
What a pick! He could've stopped it at any time or not start it at all. And he puts the blame on her.
She definitely deserves better. Maybe someone with a bit of brain and some compassion.
Jeez.
Monumentally stupid decisions by the H and W characters, but there are lots of stupid people in life, and their stupidity does create drama. Contra those below, the W was as much at fault, but I'll bet this author will portray her as the victim and the H as "childish" in the next part.
Thoroughly disgusting story. The husband is an absolute immature cad though. Roll the dice, pay the price. The sister comes across much better. Wonder how the parents raised two very different siblings?
WELL I TOO WOULD NOT WANT TO RAISE SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD.
HE SHOULD MEET ANOTHER WOMAN AND MARRY HER!!
CLEARLY HIS FAMILY CHOSE SIDES - HIS BITCH MOTHER COULDNT EVEN TELL HIM THAT HE IS IMPOTENT!!
THE SISTER JOYCE IS ANOTHER BITCH!!
WORTH 1*STAR
3 stars. Will read next chapters to either up or down my star rating. Husband brought it on himself. Asshole.
I have read five comments. Three, no, four of them would make my skin crawl if a daughter of mine brought a guy like any of them home. What shallow people without a shred of empathy these respondents were,
Shawn is extremely immature. I want to bitch-slap him, and would if he were a real person.
"they said they didn't want that total commitment." - They have TWO kids together, that's MUCH more of a commitment than marriage!
\
"Tonight she had on one of those and a full flaring skirt like you see on Mexican women." - You might see them on TV and in movies, you don't normally see them in everyday life.
\
"Mario did the same [undid her bra] to Maria as they both smiled." - I thought her breasts were already exposed?
\
I'm sorry, while I understand her hesitancy, if she won't go after Gina's father, she'll just have to deal.
Decent story. Author can write. But I can already see where it's going. He'll get all mushy about his ex. Come home and just fall in love with the little bastard girl...cause she is just so sweet. How could he hate on her? And they will reconcile. But only after he profusely apologizes to the ex. Because it's his fault.
Here's the bullshit. It's not his fault. He pulled out when he was fucking Maria. His slut wife was orgasming like crazy getting fucked by Mario. She knew she wasn't in birth control. She knew she was in her fertile period. What grown woman doesn't know? She knew Mario had fathered kids. But she was being pounded like a 2 dollar whore...so instead of telling him to pull out...she just let it happen. Her fault. She got pregnant by another man.
No way in hell any real man raises another man's kid. Ever. Looking at the child day after day...year after year. Especially since he can't father any other kids apparently? It'd eat at you. No way. Not believable. Tragic. Sure. But has to be. Divorce and find another woman. He's young. Making good money. There are so many fish in the sea. Move on with your life.
His ex made her choice. She chose the child. Could have put it up for adoption. Maybe next time she is fucking a stranger when she's fertile she'll make him use a condom or tell him to pull out.
His decision should be easy. Work overseas for a few years. Bank his money. Buy a house. A nice car. Find another woman and move on.
The man was STUPID for agreeing to swap!!! I would have also divorced her!!!
This is a story it's not real life. The anon's who add sick negative comments are just scum. In the story Shawn allows what happened and, if this was real life, would have to man up and accept he was ultimately responsible for what happened.
I don't particularly like this authors storylines having read a few however, this is a well written and challenging story.
Coal burning whore loves her boyfriends baby MUCH more than her husband .
Disgusting skank
One star
. . . he thought he was being cuckolded while he was fucking Maria. In effect, he thought it was OK for himself to get some strange, but he didn’t like his wife doing the same thing.
He repeatedly warned her that the baby may not be his but she insisted to keep it and even when she saw he was right she want to keep it and she doesn't want a her real father to contribute...and his family is siding with he ..fuck them all.
The wife let's the guy pop off inside her and does not use the morning after pill and this guy had the good sense to pull out at least out of the other woman. Garbage story of course how he never questions his wife letting the man cum in her and then not getting the morning after pill, o and of course his family see the ex and the child every week , rolls eyes. These stories are always the same, a weak husband with an unsupportive family to their own son with no brains.
He could pull out and the other guy did not and his wife did not make him either and then the wife does not get the morning after pill. Of course.
Yet another husband only interested in himself and his image. His mother was right, he was to immature to be married. He has no idea about the bond between a mother and her child, it wasn't like she cheated on him, it was his perverted idea that ended up with her pregnant. What an assshole.
It was hard to read the last part if this story.. and yes I teared up.. I was dating/engaged to my high school sweetheart... she wanted to fuck everything and everyone..I had ultra conservative religious parents and had a strict 12 midnight curfew.. she had none... she would arrange for guys to watch when I left her house and then come to her place and she'd fuck them in the driveway.. the local bowling alley was the teen hangout back then. she also went there after I left and fucked all my buddies I ran with.. she did most of the basketball team also... she ended up pregnant.. it wasn't mine... I had a choice similar to this guy.. I decided to marry her and pretend it was mine.. I was not real pleased with my decision..so I made one rule.. if it was a boy he would be named the same as the father... We made our wedding plans...then she had a miscarriage and the problem was gone.. We went ahead with the wedding...that was 48 years ago this month and we are still very much in love ..
Re: "Shawn should have eaten the cum" I don't know how quickly the sperm enters the cervix, or how much cum is in range of his tongue, but I don't believe that cunnilingus is an effective birth control.
What an idiot.
This is just part 1 and so more is coming. But, I cannot understand why Shawn did not suggest a morning after pill if he saw Julie being impregnated while fertile. Shawn is at fault for starting the swapping and for stupidity. Now, the baby is the victim of Shawn's assholism.
Frankly, if he was my son, we would be very estranged because that is not my son.
Julie made her choice. Regarding the sex and regarding the baby. But he would have had to PROVE that he wasn't the Father of the baby and when asked, disclose the Father's name. The Courts want a child to have a Father - if for no other reason than to support the chi;d so the State doesn't have to. So the ending was nonsense.
Contrary to 26thNC, the blame was primarily on the idiot husband, which is the twist that makes the plot so strong. Good example of playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.
Any man who would share his other half is suffering from temporary insanity. The confusion of the mind is unexplainable. But when the crushing blow from reality kicks in,the husband has to accept the fact he destroyed the purity of their relationship.
Other the other hand, some guys are into that. Not my cup of tea. Which is why this story is entertaining.
The author is screwing with the readers head. He attacks and overwhelms the readers sense abilities of fair play and moral construct.
That is an art.
I liked the story. I don't much like the main character. He is kind of a pussy. He pulls his wife into the swapping scenario and then when she comes up pregnant he makes her make a choice between the baby and him. What new mother is going to choose the asshole over the baby? He is very selfish and narrow minded. Men raise children that aren't theirs every day and love them like they are their own. I agree with commenters that I don't know why such a story is on LitEROTICA.
This started out as a nice story, until he started making unreasonable demands on his wife. Then. Firstly let me say that even if you and your wife watch porn it doesn't give anybody the right to bring porn into your house. Shawn should have put his foot down right away, But nooo. He wanted Maria. Who took his wife shirt and bra off? it wasn't Julie herself. and who pulled her pants and panties off also? When Mario said "Lets switch." Why didn't he tell him that he wanted to do Maria but didn't want him doing Julie? And why didn't he tell Mario not to cum inside Julie? Maybe because he was to preoccupied with Maria and what she was doing to him. Now he puts Julie on a spot and demands that she give up her baby? It's all JUlie's fault now?
Wife swapping is never a great idea and the people who do it or think it is are complete idiots. However, this dude is also an idiot. Hes the one who allowed it. His pussy ass needs to manup and take back his wife and child. If he didnt want the dude to cum in her he shoukd have said something but he didnt. Accept the consequences and move on. Its impossible to put that kind of ultimatum on a good woman who loves and wants children. A mother who is a decent woman will not choose a man over her babies...ever. Manup and keep her if he loves her. Be the father he wanted to be. No sympathy from me regarding his feelings here whatsoever. Its on him
This story has absolutely no business being on an adult erotic website. It’s nothing more than a bleeding heart, soap opera load of hooey that should be a movie of the week on the Lifetime tv network or a holiday chick-flick on the Hallmark channel. Regardless of where it should be, it shouldn’t be here on Literotica.
Life is about choices. He made his, she made hers. Now they have live with it.
Really good writing, I am involved. About the subject, why do all thes wronged men turn into whiny crybabies when something bad happens? Dude, accept that life isn't fair. No one said it had to be. You had your dick in the other guys wife and watched the guy cum in her. Didn't you take sex education?
And you promised to take care of her in good times and bad! She should be able to depend on you. Your self righteous attitude makes me sick.
Grow up!
Shawn's mother is. She has no problems keeping information which is critical to her son's emotional well being for years, yet as soon as that same son asks her to keep her yap shut about who the money's coming from, she says "No, Shawn, I'm not lying to her. We'll tell her the truth." That shows to me where her loyalties lie. Not with her own offspring, but with an EX daughter in-law. I'd have said, "Thanks for nothing, Mom. Have a good life." *CLICK.* And then I'd find some way of emigrating and never going home again.
He wants to forgive her but the baby.Eventually his love for her will make his feelings change for the baby.
