The next morning, Randy and Bree sat on one side of the waiting room and Candice sat on the other side. The test results were in. Randy took Bree's hand in his.
"No matter what. You and I are together." He whispered to her as the doctor came out.
"I have the results." He said to them. Everyone walked over to where he was.
"Well, what do they say?" Randy asked.
"The tests show that you are Tommy's father."
Randy nodded and took the results from the doctor. "Thank you for rushing this."
"No problem." He said walking away.
Candice looked at Randy and Bree. "I guess you will want to know your son now. I can help you get to know him. I'm sure he wants to know his father. We can spend time together. The three of us." She said looking at Bree and smiling. "You, me and Tommy. That way he can get to know you."
"The hell you will."
"Bree. I'll handle this." Randy said turning to Candice. "I won't be spending time alone with you and Tommy. Bree will be coming with me. Since she and I will be married, he has to get to know her too. Now that we know he is mine, we can finalize the divorce and come up with a custody agreement. But Bree is apart of things and she always will be."
"I don't want that woman anywhere near my son."
"He's, apparently, our son. And Bree is apart of my life and she will be apart of Tommy's. " Randy looked at Candice. "You kept my son from me for years. You won't do that anymore. If you fight me on this, I will take you to court and all your past mistakes will be brought up and you will lose permanent custody of Tommy. You don't want to fight me on this. I know so much about you and I have proof of everything. You will lose. Now, do you have anything else to say on this?"
"Fine whatever. But if she does anything to try an undermine me as his mother, it's over. You won't see him again as long as you're with her."
"I would never do that." Bree replied. "Unlike some, I don't try to turn people against others."
"Nothing like that would ever happen." Randy said to her. "Now, I think we should meet with our lawyers and come up with a custody agreement and settle our divorce. My lawyer will contact yours and we can meet." He said taking the paper in his hand and walking out.
"The nerve of that bitch to think I'd actually say something bad about her in front of Tommy." She looked at Randy as they got into the car. "I promise you I would never say anything bad about her in front of Tommy. She's his mother, unfortunately, but I would never bad mouth her in front of him."
Randy leaned in and kissed her. "I know that Bree." She smiled and nodded.
Josh watched as Jess and Adam were on the laptop. He assumed they were making wedding plans. He rolled his eyes. But he could use this to his advantage. He knew of a wedding planner. He walked over to the couple. "Are you guys planning the wedding?"
"We are." Jess replied.
"Well, I happen to know a great wedding planner."
Adam looked up at him. "No thanks."
"Why not? I'm offering this out of friendship nothing more."
"Right. I don't believe you." Adam said standing up. "We can plan our wedding. So thank you for the offer but no thanks."
Josh looked at Jess. "Do you share that?"
"I'll find the time to plan it on my own." Jess said. "I think it's best if we just didn't bother each other anymore."
"I'm just trying to help. I didn't realize it was such a big deal."
"Josh, I can plan my own wedding. MY WEDDING." She said. "It's better if you stay away and don't bother us."
"Alright. But I was just trying to help." He said walking away.
"Some people just can't take a hint." Adam said as they looked up and saw Randy and Bree. "Hey guys, did you get the results?"
"Yeah. It shows I'm Tommy's father." Randy replied.
"Wow. Well congratulations I guess." Adam said.
"Why don't you guys stay here and Bree and I are going to plan the wedding and talk?" Jess said to them. She knew Bree needed to talk.
Once the girls were gone, Adam turned to Randy. "How do you feel about this? And what's next?"
"I'm pissed off that she kept him from me. And she actually tried to tell me Bree couldn't be a part of his life."
"You know she did that so you would break up with Bree to be with your son."
"I know that." Randy sighed. "I'm not leaving Bree and I told Candice that. I know so much about her that she wouldn't dream making trouble. I will file for custody if she drives me to it."
"Is she agreeing to the divorce?"
"I think so. We are meeting with our lawyer and making a divorce agreement and custody agreement. And I hope this whole divorce is over and I can marry Bree and be happy."
Jess looked at her best friend. "Are you okay with this?"
"I'm fine with it as long as Randy continues to stand up for us the way he has. You know that bitch actually implied that I'd bad mouth her in front of Tommy."
"You would never do that."
"No, I wouldn't. No matter how much I hate that bitch, I would never say anything bad about her in front of Tommy. I'm not that type of person."
"So, what worries you?"
"I can never lie to you can I?"
"No, you can't." Jess laughed. "So, out with it."
"I'm worried about what Candice will say to Tommy. I mean I have heard about moms turning their kids against the stepparent or girlfriend. Which causes the biological dad to break up with the girlfriend because he wants his child to be happy. If Tommy hates me, do you think Randy will stay with me?" She sighed. "I'm not stupid. I know he will always choose his son over me. And that's how it should be. I'm just worried that it will happen one too many times and he will end it with me. He will realize that he can't keep doing this. That he has to put his son's happiness above all. I know he loves me. I know that and I know he will do whatever to keep us together. But if Tommy is unhappy and doesn't want to come over, then Randy will be sad and that's not something I want."
"Tommy's a good kid as he'll be able to see what an awesome person you are."
"I hope so." She replied. "Randy deserves to get to know his son."
"And he will. And you will be apart of that." Jess smiled. "Bree, don't let anything ruin your and Randy's relationship. I know you can make Tommy feel very welcome with you and Randy."
"Thanks." Bree smiled. She hoped she was right.
Candice sat in the house wondering what to do next. Her lawyer had told her that Randy and his lawyer wanted to meet the next day to get the details for the divorce and custody agreement down on paper and signed. He also told her that with the DNA test saying Randy was the father, it wouldn't do any good to delay the divorce if Randy wanted it. He suggested she sign the papers and agree to everything.
She picked her her cell and dialed a number. "This is not going like you told me it would. Fix it or I'm telling everyone."
"What do you mean it's not going like we thought. What's going on?"
"Randy thinks he's Tommy 's father but he doesn't want us to be a family together. He wants that tramp. He's made it clear that no matter what, he will marry that girl. And nothing will change his mind."
"I have an idea. Let me formulate it a little more and I'll call you back."
"Fine." She said hanging up. She sighed. She thought for sure saying Randy was Tommy's father would break up him and Bree. This new plan had better work or she would make sure no one else got what they wanted either.
