Medical Note: A reviewer did mention that there is a CVS test (or Chorionic Villus Sampling test) that can be done to determine paternity. I happen to know, however, that these tests are not done JUST to test for paternity. This is an invasive test that is done to detect genetic disorders, defects and chromosomal anomalies...not simply to determine paternity. There are one of two ways to perform these tests: vaginally, or via a needle through the abdomen (similar to an amniocentesis). If you do get the procedure, there is a slight chance of miscarriage or infection, which, is why most doctors will not perform the test just to determine paternity and instead reserves it to test for more pressing matters (i.e. genetic disorders, defects, etc.). To most, the risk to the pregnancy is just not worth taking if they are just looking to answer the "baby daddy" question. The test is generally reserved for women 35 or older, couples who already have children with genetic/birth defects or women with other abnormal test results.

My sister happens to be a doctor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and she told me that in her ten years of practice, she has never performed the test on a patient solely because of paternity because of the risks involved with testing. A doctor's consent is required for this test (obviously, because it needs to be performed by a doctor!). I also have a one year old baby boy. During my pregnancy, I had to have an amniocentesis (which can also be used to establish paternity) because my Perinatologist needed to make sure my son's lungs were properly functioning.

So there! That is why the drama HAS to continue until the baby is born. I'm not ignoring the rules of modern science...I do it sometimes, but not this time!


She was silent for so long, he had to ask her again, "Marie, are you carryin' my baby?"

Marie was relieved when people started filing through the door with pizza, beer and wings.

Remy had to fight the joy that crept into his heart at the prospect of Marie carrying his baby. He had never stopped wanting her, and probably never would...maybe the baby was fate. Maybe it would be the perfect way to get her back.

That entire night, Remy was so preoccupied thinking about what it might be like to have a baby with Marie that he cost his team the Pictionary win.

Marie spent most of the night trying to avoid his eyes and keep Logan distracted from Remy's intense gaze.

That evening, as Marie got ready for bed, Logan stared at her thoughtfully. She noticed and smiled, "What's on that mind of yours?"

He shrugged, "Nothin'. Just not likin' the way Remy was staring at you tonight."

"You won Logan...you got me. What more do you want? It's a free country babe. He can look, but not touch, right?"

Logan grunted as he sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled off his boots.

She walked up to him and put her hands on his shoulders, "You trust me, right baby?"

He smiled and put his hands on her waist, pulling her to him as he opened her shirt and unbuttoned her jeans. She giggled softly as he kissed laid a lingering kiss on her lower abdomen. He looked up at her as he pulled her jeans and panties off of her hips, "You've made me very happy, kid."

He slowly trailed kisses across her belly as he reached between her legs and began caressing her soft folds. Marie shuddered and gripped onto his shoulders as she watched him unbuckle his pants with the other hand.

She jumped slightly when he inserted his finger, expertly stroking in and out of her as she moaned his name. Logan pulled her pants all the way down and helped her step out of them as he gently pulled her onto the bed, laying on top of her.

Marie nipped at his lips as he gripped the underside of her thigh and raised her leg around his waist, entering her in one swift movement. She arched her back and yanked his shirt off of his shoulders, scratching at his skin with her fingernails.

If only she could stay like this forever, all would be well. There would be no worry about her baby's paternity...she could just lose herself in orgasm after orgasm.


Marie couldn't get away with avoiding Remy for long. Two days later, he walked into her classroom as she was busy cleaning off the chalkboard.

"Afternoon professor..." he said as he sauntered in.

Marie abruptly stopped cleaning the board and closed her eyes as she cursed silently. She slowly turned around to face Remy, who had made his way to the front of the class and was sitting on the top of the desk closest to the front.

She dropped the eraser, "What's up, Remy?"

"Cut the bull, Marie. Is this baby mine?"

She took a deep breath. For a moment, she thought about lying to him, but she would have some explaining to do if she gave birth to a baby whose eyes turned red during a temper tantrum.

"I don't know."

Remy looked down and ran a hand through his hair, "I'm guessin' you haven't told the wolf man yet it might not be his, huh?"

She shook her head and sat at her desk, "I will though...just please don't tell Logan."

"Don't tell me what?" came Logan's voice through classroom door Remy had stupidly left open.

Marie's breath hitched in her throat as she looked at Logan, who crossed his arms and eyed them both suspiciously. Both of them stood as Marie spoke, "Um...we can talk about it later."

Logan could tell they were hiding something and he didn't appreciate the fact that her ex boy toy was getting cozy with her in her empty classroom, "No kid...we need to talk about it now. What the hell were you two talking about?"

Marie looked at Remy, who crossed his arms and glanced back at her. It was now or never and dammit...didn't she wish it was never.

"It's about the baby..." she whispered.

Logan's brows furrowed in concern, "Everything ok?"

"No...just not in the way you think it's not ok..." She paused as she glanced back at Remy and took a deep breath before continuing, "There's a chance that you're not my baby's father."

Logan flinched as the verbal blow sunk in. He looked down and took a few deep breaths to try to calm himself, but as soon as he looked at Remy, he lost it. He heard Marie scream "Logan no!" as he rushed the cajun, who pulled out his handy deck of cards and sent them flying into Logan's chest, causing him to sail across the room and crash against the wall.

Marie rushed between the two as Logan stood, snarling and growling. He had left a huge hole in the wall from his impact. She yelled, "Stop it! Logan! It was right before you and I got back together! It wasn't Remy's fault!"

Logan shot her a look before turning his angry gaze back to Remy, who held a card in his hand, ready to fight, "Bull shit! He knew you were gonna come back to me and he did the only thing he could to try to keep you!"

Marie put her hands on her hips, "Brilliant. He planned for me to end up with a sinus infection and get on antibiotics that will render my birth control ineffective so that he could get me pregnant...Magneto better move over, we have the real mastermind right here."

"How the fuck am I supposed to react to this?"

Remy spoke up, "She didn't do anything wrong, wolf man."

Logan unsheathed a claw and pointed it at Remy, "No one was talkin' to you, gumbo."

"Logan! Put the claw away...Remy...could you give us a minute?"

Remy crossed his arms, "I don't feel comfortable leavin' you alone with this animal."

Logan snarled, "Wanna know how much of an animal I can be, get your pretty lil face over here..."

"Logan!" Marie stomped her foot for emphasis, causing him to lower the intensity of his glare on Remy slightly. She turned her attention back to the ragin' cajun, who seemed just as ready to pounce as the other man, "Remy, he's not gonna hurt me...now would you please give us a moment alone?"

Remy's red eyes slowly faded back to their normal, chocolatey brown hue as he stared at her long and hard before walking from the room. When the classroom door was closed, Marie turned back to Logan, "I understand that this is not the greatest news in the world, but did you have to try to attack him like that?"

"Now you're defending him!"

She raised her voice, "I'm not defending anyone!"

Logan turned away and roughly ran both hands through his hair, "I can't fuckin' believe this...I was actually looking forward to this baby and you go and tell me you might be carrying that swamp rat's offspring."

Marie glared and crossed her arms, "Look Logan, I don't expect you to be happy about this situation, but if you want to be with me, you're gonna eventually have to learn to love this baby even if it isn't yours...I expect you to love me enough to love my child."

She brushed past him and left the room, leaving Logan to think about how he would handle the situation.

Remy caught up to her as she walked to her room, "Marie...you alright?"

She stopped walking and looked at him as she fiddled with the sleeves of her shirt, "This is turning into a huge nightmare."

He felt a little offended at that statement. Would having his kid over Logan's be that bad?

Marie caught the look on his face and put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry Remy, I didn't mean it like that. It's just...I never thought I'd end up caught up in a situation like this. Situations like this are exactly why I was on birth control."

He took a step closer and rubbed her shoulders as he looked down into her eyes, "Regardless of whose baby this is, you're experiencin' one of nature's most amazin' miracles. The only thing you really need to be worryin' bout is that lil' one you got growin' in there."

She took a step back as he started to lean in, "Thank you, Remy...but I gotta go."

He watched her walk down the hallway to her room and enter, closing the door behind her.

Although Marie had chosen Logan, the baby she carried had proven to be a major game changer for all three of them.
