ABC owns them

Chapter 8

" Michael, what are you saying? " Nat asked as she let it sink in, sink in that Chris couldn't be Lauren's dad. She thought about it, while she was stunned and then it hit her. Chris knew, he knew and he had the doctor change things, change things like her due date, Lauren's blood type. She realized why he was acting so weird after her first doctor's visit. She remembered how friendly he and her doctor were and it all added up. But how could she prove it and prove it so quickly. She was brought out of her thoughts when Michael approached her and Lauren.

" You know what I'm saying Nat, what do you want to do about it and you know who's child Lauren is if she's not Chris' don't you? " Michael asked now knowing Lauren was his niece.

Natalie got an idea and she discussed it with Michael. Michael went out to the lobby to see John there and then he saw Chris walk in.

" Chris, thank god you're here, " Michael said urgently as he motioned for Chris to follow him into the exam room. John didn't know what was going on so he followed behind them both, in the exam room was Nat and Lauren wasn't there.

" Nat, what's going on? Where's Lauren? " Chris asked as he thought Natalie looked upset. Nat acted like she couldn't form any words and John wasn't quite sure what to make of all of it.

" Their prepping her in the other room, she needs some sort of blood transfusion, I'm anemic so she needs your blood Chris." Natalie said purposely in a jumbled manner.

" What?" Chris asked confused

" There isn't time for questions Chris, sit down the nurse is going to start a line to take your blood and give it to Lauren, it's very important that we don't waste anytime. She's sicker than any of us knew." Michael told him as he pushed him back into a chair and started to probe his veins to find a good one for the line.

" Wait a minute" Chris said getting up out of the chair

" Can she die without my blood? Without a blood match? " Chris said pacing around the room nervously

" Chris! Stop being an asshole and do what your daughter needs you to do for once in your life!" Natalie said getting angry and very emotional

" I am!" he shouted back

"Then sit down and give your daughter some of your damn blood!" Natalie again yelled

"I can't! She's not my daughter!" Chris yelled back at Natalie in all the confusion and he looked at John.

" He needs to give her the blood, He's probably a match" Chris said pointing at John feeling defeated

"What are you talking about Chris? How selfish could you be? " Natalie said looking stunned and angry. John was looking stunned also, anger for him didn't happen yet.

"It's to long of a story to get into now, but I'm not her father, John is" Chris said as Natalie went over to him and punched him in the gut. Chris stood up after she punched him holding his stomach and watched John.

John heard the words but was still very unsure of what the hell was going on when without hesitation he jumped in the chair to have his blood drawn.

" What are you waiting for Mikey, take my blood if it's going to make her better" John said as he was beginning to get nervous himself. Natalie realized she got enough of a confession from Chris and they stopped the charade.

" John she isn't really sick, I'm sorry, I just wanted to get Chris to admit that he knew she wasn't his, and I'm sure there's a lot more he has to admit too also." Natalie said looking at John and then she walked into the other room and the nurse handed her a sleeping Lauren. Natalie walked over to John who was still dumbfounded by the whole situation. She handed Lauren to John. John took Lauren from her arms without hesitation.

"She's your daughter John and I'm not sure how we're all going to handle this but we will." Natalie told him after handing her over to him.
