Chapter 5

Julia's POV

Disgusting! That's the word I would use to describe my mom. I can't believe she had the nerve to call Cartman while daddy is downstairs! The nerve! Now they're planning to do a DNA test so she can leave my dad? That's sick!

I go back downstairs and eat the food mom left. "Is your mom ok?" Daddy asks me.

"She's fine." I tell him abruptly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, let's just enjoy a nice quiet dinner together!" I smile.

"Yeah, the dinner I planned for your mom and me..." He sounds and looks so hurt when he says that. I'm so angry at my mom right now for this!

"Well at least you have someone to enjoy it with."

"That's true..." He smiles, but I can see the pain behind his smile. I swear if she weren't my mother, I would've killed her for treating my dad this way! The sad thing is, it's only going to get worse before it gets better.

The next day at school, I approach Kobe at his locker. "Hey Kobe." I greet him.

His eyes light up. "Hi Julia, how's it going?"

"Not so good..."

"What's wrong?"

I sigh. "I've been keeping this a secret, but I have to tell someone!"

"Tell someone what?"

"My mom is cheating on my dad!"

Kobe's jaw drops. "No way! With who?"

"Eric Cartman..." Saying his name just irritates the fuck out of me.

"Shannon's dad? Does she know?"

I shake my head. "No. Like me, she's a daddy's girl. I couldn't tell her."

"Wow, so what are you going to do?"

I shrug. "What can I do? If that baby is Cartman's, she's leaving my dad."

"So what if it's your dad's?"

"A part of me wants her to stay with my dad, but another part of me wants her to leave him regardless."

"Why?"

"Because my dad is such a nice guy and doesn't deserve to be cheated on."

"But you want them together, right?"

"I do, but not if my mom is going to continue to cheat on him."

"Why don't you tell your dad?" Kobe suggests.

"I don't want to see him hurt. I know he will be anyway, but I don't want to be the one to break the news."

"I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do to help."

"Thanks. There's nothing anyone can do."

"I'm so sorry Jules." He pulls me into a hug and I burst into tears.

"My dad deserves so much better..." I wipe my eyes and pull away from him. "Wait a minute, you work in the lab at the hospital..."

"Yeah..." Kobe nods slowly.

I smile. "You CAN help me."

"How?"

"My mom and Cartman are planning to get a DNA test on the baby. Maybe you can switch the results so it looks like it's my dad's."

He shakes his head. "I don't perform DNA tests, I just take inventory of the lab supplies. There's no way I could get my hands on it."

"I'm sure you know someone that does the actual testing."

"Jules, this is a bad idea. If I were to make this happen for you, I could lose my job. You know my parents will kill me if I get fired. Especially my mom, she's a midwife there, it would look bad on her! I can't do it Jules, I'm so sorry." Kobe rants. Ugh, he's just like his father.

I laugh. "You're such a goody two shoes! But I understand, I don't want to get you into trouble."

"Thank you. Why do you want the results to look like it's your dad's anyway? Do you think it's fair for him to unknowingly raise a child that isn't his?"

I shake my head. "It's not." I think about it for a minute. "It would be nice if the results show that neither one of them is the father. My dad can be rid of my mom, and my mom and Cartman will suffer."

"I don't like you talking like this…"

"I can't help it. I'm so angry at them! I really hate Cartman for what he's doing to my dad! He's supposed to be his friend for God's sake!"

"In the end, they'll pay for what they've done. But in the meantime, you should stay out of it."

"It's not easy. This is my dad's life we're talking about! His future!"

"Your dad's not yours. Just be there for him when the truth comes out, don't do anything else."

I nod in agreement. "You're right. I'll stay out of it."

He sighs. "Thank goodness!" We laugh. I know I told him I would stay out of it, but I really want to have that DNA test changed. I have to be careful who I confide in though. I don't want the truth to come out the wrong way or for daddy to be humiliated more than he already will be. It's time for me to put my thinking cap on.

Cartman's POV

My alarm goes off and I struggle to get up as I do every morning. I look over and see Wendy lying next to me. I smile as she looks so peaceful sleeping and I really don't want to wake her up. She's stayed over here last night and it felt great to not go to bed or wake up alone. I'm sure her loser husband has an issue with it because he's been calling and texting her all night.

I take a shower and start getting dressed for work. "Good morning gorgeous!" I look over and see Wendy has finally woken up.

"Good morning." I walk over to her and kiss her. "Did you get a good night's sleep?"

"Oh yes! This is the best sleep I've had in years!" She smiles and puts her arm around me. "Probably because I was next to you." She starts kissing me then removing my clothes. The next thing you know, we're having sex. Now this is how you start the morning before going to work! Once we're done, I text Kyle and let him know I'm going to be a little late for work. I notice Wendy looking at her phone shaking her head.

"What's wrong?" I ask her.

"Stan has text me like 20 times! I told him I was out with Bebe, why won't he just leave me the fuck alone?"

I laugh. "Well baby, he is your husband. He's probably worried about you that's all."

"I've been thinking about that. We're still going to do this DNA. However, even if this baby is his, I decided, that I'm still divorcing him."

I've been waiting 17 years to hear this. "Really?"

She nods. "I want to be with you, and you want to be with me. It's time I tell Stan about us and let him move on with his life."

"Finally!" I hug her. "So are you going to wait until the baby is born to tell him?"

She shakes her head. "Nope, I'll tell him after work today."

"Even better! Dude, you've just made this the best day of my life!" We start kissing again and go for another round. I'm finally going to have the love of my life to myself. No more sharing! She'll be mine forever the way it was suppose to be.

Kyle's POV

Stan text me while I was at work and asked me to meet him at the bar after work. He made it clear not to invite Cartman and Kenny. This doesn't sound good at all.

I arrived right after work, and I found Stan already at the bar. I hope he isn't drunk. "Hey dude." I greet him as I sit down beside him.

"Hey…" He slurs. Yep, he's drunk. I can smell the alcohol on him.

"So what's going on?"

"Dude…I think I'm losing my wife…"

Oh shit! I don't even know how to respond since I already know the deal. "Why do you say that?"

"Because everything I say or do pisses her off. She didn't even come home last night."

That explains why Cartman was late. "Where was she?"

"She took her daily walk with Bebe. She said afterwards they went back to her house to catch up and she fell asleep."

"Do you believe her?"

He shrugs. "I don't know what to do believe. What do I do Kyle? I love her and I don't want lose her."

"Dude, I honestly don't know what to tell you."

"Nothing?" He looks so hurt and disappointed. I feel bad for the dude.

"Have you thought about counseling?"

Stan shakes his head. "No, but I'm open to it. Anything that will help save my marriage, I'm willing to do."

"I'll ask one of the family lawyers for recommendations." Even though it will be a waste of time, I still want to help him in any way I can.

"Thanks dude…" He sounds so down. "I don't think she loves me anymore. I don't understand what I did wrong, but if she'll give me a chance, I can fix it."

"Dude, save it for your marriage counselor." I say jokingly trying to lightening the mood. It doesn't seem to be working as he looks like he's on the brink of tears. "Sorry, I was just trying to make you laugh."

"I'm not in a laughing mood. My marriage is falling apart and I don't know why. I thought her behavioral change was due to the pregnancy, but I feel like it's more than that."

It is. "Like I said, try counseling. Maybe things will get better." He nods and goes back to drinking. I know I should be of better help, but I know what's really going on. It's just not my place or my business to tell him. It's best that I stay out of it and just give him advice as needed. I will however, have a chat with Wendy and Cartman because this situation is beyond fucked up.
