That night, Sam had put Brie to bed. She was currently lying on her bed and looking up at the ceiling, thinking of the possibility that Bryan could be the father of her child. There was a knock on the door and Gabriella poked her head in.
"Hey, is Brie asleep?" Gabriella whispered.
"Yeah" Sam said.
Gabriella came into the room and sat next to Sam. She put her hand on Sam's shoulder.
"What's on your mind, Sammy?" Gabriella asked her daughter.
"I was just thinking about Bryan possibly being Brie's father. The thought makes me angry" Sam said.
"I know it does. It makes all of us angry, but we just have to be very careful and get the DNA test. The test doesn't lie" Gabriella said.
"I know but it hurts to know that he could have helped me with her. I am doing everything by myself, mom. It isn't fair" Sam said as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Oh baby" Gabriella said as she hugged her daughter.
Sam cried in her mother's arms. Gabriella kissed her head and rubbed her back.
"I know it's not fair, Sam and I know this is hard on you. We are going to get through this" Gabriella said.
Sam looked at her mother. Gabriella put her hand on Sam's face and kissed her head.
"I love you" Gabriella said.
"I love you too" Sam said.
Gabriella got off the bed and looked at Sam.
"Get some sleep, sweetheart" Gabriella said.
Sam got into bed and fell asleep. Gabriella walked out of Sam's room and walked into the master bedroom. Troy was lying in bed when Gabriella came in. Gabriella released her tears that she had been holding in.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Troy asked as Gabriella got into bed.
"I was talking to Sam and we were talking about Bryan and she broke down. He left her, with no trace of who the father of her child was, and then all of the sudden he appears and says that he's the father. That's just wrong for a twenty year to have to go through something like that" Gabriella said as she snuggled into Troy's chest.
"Hey, listen to me, Brie. This is all going to work out. Okay?" Troy said.
"How do you know?" Gabriella asked.
Troy kissed Gabriella's lips and pulled back slowly.
"Because I know. You should get some sleep. That's probably the reason why everyone is so stressed" Troy said.
"I know but it's hard not to think about it" Gabriella said looking at her husband.
Troy kissed Gabriella's lips again.
"Are you trying to get me to go to sleep?" Gabriella asked as she pulled back.
"Yes, babe" Troy said.
Gabriella crossed her arms and frowned.
"You are mean, but I love you" Gabriella said.
Troy rolled his eyes, playfully.
"I love you too .Go to sleep, baby" Troy said as he turned off the light.
At about four AM there was a cry that filled the house. Sam woke up and saw Brie crying. She got up and walked over to the crib. Sam picked Brie up and tried to soothe her crying daughter.
"You are probably starving" Sam said.
Sam carefully sat down on the bed. She exposed one of her breasts and put Brie close to it. The infant latched on and enjoyed her evening meal. After ten minutes, Brie pulled away. Sam kissed her daughter's head and put her back into her crib. She then walked out of her bedroom to clean herself up. Gabriella woke up and heard a noise coming from Sam's room. She got up and walked to her room. Gabriella saw Sam changing her shirt.
"Is she okay?" Gabriella asked.
"Yeah, she was just hungry and I just put her down" Sam said.
"Oh okay" Gabriella said as she walked back to the master bedroom.
Gabriella got back into bed and snuggled back into Troy's chest. Troy stirred and opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked.
"Nothing, Sam got up and I wanted to see if Brie was okay" Gabriella said.
"Is she okay?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, she's fine. Sorry if I woke you up" Gabriella said as she fell asleep.
Troy fell back asleep. A couple hours later, Sam woke up and looked at the clock which read eight AM. She got up and saw that Brie was lying in her crib with her eyes open. Sam smiled.
"Hey baby girl" Sam said as she picked up Brie.
Sam brought Brie to her bed and picked up a diaper. She quickly changed her daughter's diaper.
"We are going to see who your daddy is today, Brie" Sam said as she kissed the infant's head.
Sam walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. Troy was sitting at the table and smiled when he saw Sam come into the room.
"Heard you got up late last night. Everything okay?" Troy asked.
Sam sat down at the table with Brie in her arms.
"Yeah, she started crying and since I just changed her diaper, I knew that she was hungry. I fed her and put her down, then I went to change my shirt and that's when mom came in" Sam explained to her father.
"Oh, so when is the DNA test today?" Troy asked his daughter.
"At eleven. I have to probably fed and change her by then" Sam said.
Troy looked at Sam. Her eyes had dark rings around them and her body looked exhausted.
"Hey, relax. Go take a shower and get dressed. Come back down and eat something. I will watch Brie for you" Troy said.
"Are you sure?" Sam asked her father.
"Sammy, I have had two kids. I know how to handle a baby for a couple minutes. Now, go get ready" Troy said.
"Thank you" Sam said.
Sam carefully put Brie into her father's arms. She kissed Brie's head and then her father's cheek. Sam ran upstairs and took a shower. Twenty minutes later, she came out of the shower, feeling refreshed. Sam put on light makeup and walked downstairs. She went into the kitchen and smiled.
"That was fast" Troy said.
"Yeah, how was she?" Sam asked as she took Brie from her father.
"Perfect. Didn't make a sound" Troy said.
"Good. Is mom ready?" Sam asked.
"Yes" Gabriella said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Let's get this over with" Sam said.
"Everything is going to be fine, Sammy" Troy said as they walked to the car.
Sam put Brie into her car seat and buckled her in. She placed a kiss on her head and closed the door. Sam walked to the other side of the car and got in. Troy drove to the doctor's office and parked. Sam got out of the car and got Brie out of her car seat. The family walked into the office. Sam signed herself in and then sat next to Gabriella, who was holding Brie.
"Samantha Bolton" a nurse called.
Troy, Gabriella, and Sam stood up and followed the nurse to an exam room. The nurse opened Sam's file.
"Samantha, why are you here today?" the nurse asked.
"I need to get a DNA test for my daughter. The possible father already came in and did his" Sam said.
The nurse read Sam's chart.
"He came in today. Okay, I need you to open your mouth. I am just going to swab it" the nurse said.
Sam opened her mouth and the nurse swabbed it. She then looked at Brie.
"We have to do the baby also" the nurse said.
"Okay" Sam said.
Sam got Brie to open her mouth and the nurse swabbed her mouth. The nurse put both swabs into a container.
"When will we know the results?" Sam asked.
"You should know either tomorrow or the next day" the nurse said.
"Thank you" Sam said.
Troy, Gabriella, Sam, and Brie left the office. They hoped that everything was going to turn out okay whether or not Bryan is the father of Brie.
