Lost Without You
Chapter Two: Where The Truth Lies
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
--
Baby think twice
For the sake of our love
For the memory
For the fire and the faith
That was you and me
--
Baby I know it ain't easy
When your soul cries out
For a higher ground
'Coz when you're halfway up
You're always halfway down
Think Twice By Celine Dion
Alan came running down the stairs as fast as he could after hearing Marcia yell out as she did, thinking something was wrong with his wife.
"Marcia what is it? What's wrong?" Alan asked out of breath as he stood next to Marcia looking very worryingly at his wife.
"Alan look at this picture and tell me what you see?" Marcia asked her husband handing him the Tatter Magazine showing him Emma and Harmony's picture
"Umm why are you showing me a picture of her and her bastard daughter, hasn't this tramp done enough to our family with her pathetic accusations" Alan spat clearly showing his hatred of Emma Watson
"Alan I know what she tried to do to our family but look at the baby Alan look at her eyes. Does she remind you of anyone?" Marcia replied pushing the picture under her husband's nose making him take a closer look at baby Harmony.
Looking at his wife curiously Alan started questioning why Marcia was so egar for him to look at Emma Watson's bastard daughter which graced the cover of Britain's leading entertainment magazine, Tatler. Giving in to his wife's persistence Alan looked down at the Tatler Magazine with Emma and baby Harmony on the cover
"OH MY GOD! Its not possible is it?" Alan said in shock as he too found himself looking into his own son's baby blue eyes.
Marcia stood up from the couch as Alan was staring at baby Harmony in shock and in a amazement at how baby Harmony's eyes were an exact replica of his son's.
"She told us Alan, she told us she was pregnant with our son's baby that day 11 months ago and we threw her out. What do we tell Dan?" Marcia replied panicking as she started pacing around not noticing Dan walking into the living room.
"Tell me what?" Dan said walking in looking at both of his parents waiting for them to rely
Marcia and Alan both looked at each other trying to figure out the best way to tell Dan that this little baby girl could be their son's daughter
"Ummm Dan you better sit down" Alan finally spoke leading a confused Dan on the couch where the three Radcliffe's sat to talk.
"Dan I'm going to show you something but I don't want you to get upset okay" Marcia said handing Dan the latest edition of Tatler magazine.
Looking at the magazine his mum just gave him, Dan couldn't believe what he was seeing there was Emma on the cover holding a tiny baby in her arms
"Why the hell are you showing me a magazine with ...HER on the cover after what she did to me, SHE cheated on me then had the audacity to come here and say that I got her pregnant, that she was having my baby when she knew that she cheated on me, but hey that didn't stop her passing off someone else's baby on me she was nothing but and ungrateful cheating piece of trash" Dan yelled throwing the Tatler magazine on the coffee table, standing up he paced in front of his parents trying to carm himself down.
Watching their son pacing around the living room burning off some steam, Alan and Marcia stood up as well they had to get to the bottom of this, Dan had to look at that baby and tell them what he thought before they could do anything
"Dan we know what she did but please carm down we need you to look at the baby, please just look at her and tell us you see what we see" Marcia said walking up to where her son was standing and squeezing Dan's shoulder before giving him the Tatler magazine again.
Looking at both of his parents in confusion Dan finally looked at the cover Tatler magazine where Emma was on the cover holding baby Harmony as soon as Dan's eyes landed on baby Harmony he gasped in shock as he found himself looking into his own baby blue eyes.
"So the baby has similar eyes as me its not my baby I know, the guy she cheated on me with probably has blue eyes. Its not my baby" Dan replied determined that he was right though he was shocked to the core.
Seeing that Dan wasn't see clearly, Marcia went to the fireplace and picked up a baby picture of Dan taken when he was 2 to 3 months old
"Dan, this baby looks exactly like you when you were a baby, look at your baby picture Dan you both look exactly the same. Dan, she could be your daughter" Marcia said showing Dan his baby photo and sure enough they looked like they could be twins.
"It's not possible she cheated on me mum how can this be my baby, no I will not believe it never" Dan replied back looking at the the two baby pictures not believing what he was seeing.
"Well there is only one way to find out, we'll have to order a paternity test be done so we know for sure, Shall I call our lawyers?" Alan spoke up looking between Dan and Marcia waiting for a reply.
Marcia looked at her son waiting for a reply but Dan was still gazing at both his baby picture and Harmony's not believing what he was seeing
"Yes Alan I think that would be a good idea, we all deserve to know if this baby is a Radcliffe" Marcia finally answered looking at Dan who just nodded as he continued to stare at this baby that could really be his daughter.
"Fine I'm willing to do a paternity test to prove I'm not the father and that the father is the guy she cheated on me with" Dan agreed throwing the magazine back on the coffee table before he stormed off into his room as Alan and Marcia called their lawyers to order a paternity test be done as soon as possible.
After Emma had soothed Harmony back to sleep the door bell rang putting Harmony back in her bassinet quickly letting her finger run down Harmony's chubby cheek, Emma hurried to answer the door, opening the front door Emma found both her parents standing there looking very serious at their daughter.
"Hi mum, dad! What's going on, you both look so serious is everything okay?" Emma asked as the three walked into Emma's kitchen and sat down at the kitchen table
"There is something we have to tell you that is very important" Chris said taking a deep breath because what he was about to tell his daughter was big.
"Dad just tell me, how bad can it be?" Emma replied laughing at bit but stopped when her parents looked very seriously at her.
"The Radcliffe's have ordered for a paternity test for Harmony be taken, their lawyers called us just a few minutes ago" Jackie spoke up finally telling Emma what was going on and bracing herself for Emma's reaction to this news.
