Awww, thank you all so much for the reviews and everything. This is (unfortunately) the last chapter of my FF and I hope you like it. It was very short but I decided to rewrite it and now it's a little bit longer than before. Please REVIEW a last time. It would make me very happy!

13. A perfect day – part 2

Today was the day when Kirsten and little Kathy would be released. Soon they would be home but before that they had a last appointment with the doctor. This time they would get the results of the DNA test. The DNA test that would bring certainty. Of course, Sandy would treat Kathy like his own child but it would always be a problem. Every time someone would say 'Aw, she looks so much like her mother. It's a pity that she doesn't have that much from Sandy.' Kirsten would be reminded of how she got pregnant. Every time this would happen Sandy would be offended. He wouldn't show it but deep inside his heart he would be offended and Kirsten knew that. She didn't want to hurt him and so much prayed for sandy being the father of Kathy. Last night Kirsten couldn't sleep because she couldn't stop thinking about this test. Hours passed by in which she only stared at her little daughter and played with her wedding bands. Every time she was nervous she played with her hands or her platinum wedding bands and last night she had been pretty nervous. She didn't regret the decision to make this test but she also didn't want a doctor to tell her that Kathy wasn't Sandy's child. I know that he'll be a great father for her and yet… She thought about it for hours until she fell asleep. Now she was waiting for Sandy and the kids. She wanted them to be with her and Seth, Summer, Marissa and Ryan had agreed to that. Sitting on her bed she sighed when Sandy came in. He greeted her with kiss as if everything would be fine. Nothing was fine and he knew it. Today was going to be the day that would maybe change his whole life. He would be told whether he would be the father of Kathy or not. Sandy knew that in Kirsten's eyes he was the only man who could be a father to their little daughter, but it was something that would haunt him through his entire life. Not being her genetic father could mean that she wouldn't accept him as her father when she was older and it would kill him to experience that. He didn't want his life to like that. He didn't want to hear that he was not Kathy's dad whenever they would argue or he would ground her. He just didn't want it. He was totally lost in his thoughts, but suddenly awoke of them when Kirsten let out a deep sigh.

"Honey, what's wrong?" He didn't know what the problem was and so he was worried. He was always worried and she couldn't blame him for that. Of course he was worried. She had been raped. She hadn't told him. She had Kathy too early. How could he be not worried?

"Nothing. I'm just happy that this is over by now." Kirsten answered him. She looked into his eyes, knowing that he was thinking about the aftermath of the DNA test. She knew that he was thinking about the fact of not being Kathy's father and she couldn't blame him for that. She loved him so much and didn't want to hurt him and yet she was doing that. Hurting him by having this stupid DNA test, that might tell them that he wasn't genetic related to Kathy.


They were waiting nervously in the office of the doctor. Everyone of them was nervous and they tried to stay calm for Kirsten but Kirsten knew that they were as nervous as she was. Trying to be strong for her was something she was used to them being strong but she didn't want them to be. All in all they were only kids and they had taken way too much on their shoulders in the last months. She also didn't want Sandy to be strong. She wanted him to worry together with her about this test. Her thoughts stopped circling at that when the doctor came in. He smiled but a smile from a doctor was always just a smile and had nothing to say. Doctors always smile even if something bad happened. It was their job to smile and Kirsten hated it. He sat down at his desk and opened the file in front of him. He looked at the family for a second and then turned back to the file before starting to talk.

"Our results show that Katherine Nancy Cohen is the daughter of Sanford Cohen. No doubts about that. Congratulations." The doctor smiled at the family that was sitting in front of him. Kirsten fell into Sandy's arms and tears of joy ran down her face. She was so glad that Sandy was the father. There would never be the day when Kathy would ask whether Sandy was her real dad and she had to answer with a 'no'. It was the first time for so many months that Kirsten was really happy and that she smiled from the inside. Together the family walked out of the hospital and to their cars. Kirsten carried Kathy and Sandy carried her bags. Seth and Summer walked entangled to the car where Caleb and Julie waited for them to come. Ryan and Marissa just did the same. Gathering around Kirsten, Kathy and Sandy they showed the world that they were one big family. A family that didn't care about genetic relations. Of course they were happy that Sandy was the father but they didn't care anymore. Everything that mattered to them was that it was finally over.

It was a perfect day, when they got into their cars and drove home.
