Thanks for the reviews. During the fight, Julia didn't pass out, she blacked out! Anyway, as usual R&R! Enjoy!

Chapter 31

Stan's POV

I look down at Eli and back at Lisa. "He's my son?"

She nods. "According to Liz he is." She hands me his birth certificate. Liz listed me as his father.

"He was born 3 months ago." I start doing the math in my head and the timing adds up. Suddenly Eli starts to cry. On instinct, I rock him. "There, there. It's ok little guy."

"Stan, what's going on?" Dad asks as he comes to the door. "Who's baby?"

"Apparently he's mine..."

"What?"

"I should be going..." Lisa turns to leave.

"No wait!" I stop her. "Where's Liz?"

"I had her committed."

My jaw drops at hearing that. "Why?"

"Liz has mental issues. She has split personalities. One of her personalities was so warm and loving to Eli. The other personality left him in a trash can and tried to commit suicide."

"Oh my God!" I don't know Liz…really at all, but I never would've guessed she had mental problems.

"I knew I had to take action. That's why I had her committed. She told me you were the father and where I could find you. Obviously, Liz is in no condition to raise a baby so I thought it was only right and fair that you raise your son."

"How can you be so sure this is Stan's son?" Dad asks.

"My daughter insists that Stan is the only man she's slept with."

"You said she has split personalities. How can you be sure that one of her other personalities sleeps around?"

"Dad, I got this." I tell him, then I look at Lisa. "So how can you be sure?"

She shrugs. "You can get a paternity test if you think Liz is wrong." She turns to leave again.

"So you're just going to leave your grandson with a stranger who may not even be his father?"

She hands me a business card. "You can contact me if he's not, but looking at the two of you, I can see he's yours."

"Don't be so sure lady!" Dad tells her.

"If there's a chance he's not, I'll come back and get him. I would keep him with me, but I'm too old to take care of an infant." She waves and leaves.

Dad and I head back into the dining room with mom and Susan. "Stanley, where did that baby come from?" Mom asks.

"He's mine, his grandmother dropped him off because the mom has been committed."

"He's allegedly yours!" Dad reminds me.

I look at Susan, I can't tell if she's hurt or not. "I'm so sorry. I had no idea."

Susan walks over to me and hugs me. "That's ok."

"It is?"

"Yes, he's adorable!" She rubs Eli's head.

"So you're not going to dump me?"

She shakes her head. "Why would I? I love kids. I'll help you out with him in any way I can."

Mom hugs Susan and looks at me. "Looks like you found a good one Stanley." She looks at Eli. "I better run out to Target!"

"For what?" Dad asks.

"To get some things for this little guy! We have an old crib in the attic. He also needs a caraseat, clothes, diapers, formula, and bottles." Mom kisses Eli. "I'm so happy I have a new grandbaby to spoil!"

"We don't know that for a fact Sharon!"

"Nonsense Randy! Look at him! He looks just like Stan as a baby!" She grabs her purse and keys. "I'll be back later." She leaves. Eli begins crying again. I try to soothe him the best I can. I look at his face and I kind of see myself, but I'm not sure if it's just wishful thinking on my part or if he's really my son. I'm going to find out soon enough.

Julia's POV

It's official! Kobe and I are out on a date. Of course once again, I'm out with a guy I have to sneak around with, but we're out! He's out with me and not Shannon. We just got out of a movie. "I'm glad we had a chance to hang out. It's like old times." I smile at Kobe as I take his hand.

He blushes a bit. "Yeah, I just hope my parents don't find out."

"They won't find out from me." I put my arms around me. "Look at you sneaking behind your parent's back for me."

"I would only do this for you."

"I'm glad you realize I'm worth it." I notice he's looking down. "What's the matter?"

"I'm feeling a little guilty…"

"Why? Because you lied to your parents?" I swear he's such a goody goody!

He shakes his head. "No, because I'm out with you and I know how Shannon feels about me. I feel like I owe her an explanation."

I roll my eyes. It's been months since our fight, but I'm still pissed at her. "You don't owe her shit! But I do have to ask, did you ask her out to make me jealous?"

"Nope. I did it because I wanted to get to know her as a friend. She's really a nice a girl, I don't know why she doesn't have a boyfriend or anything."

'Because she's ugly as fuck'. I think to myself then laugh out loud. "Yeah right! Admit it! You were trying to make me jealous! It worked!"

"Really? How when you had Dustin?"

"He wasn't right for me. It took me "dating" him to realize the right guy for me was in front of me all along!" We stare at each other and he kisses me. He actually initiates the kiss! I was shocked by that and I rather enjoy it.

"I have one favor to ask though."

"What's that?"

"Can we take things slow?"

I raise my eyebrow. "Why?"

"Well for one because of my parents, we're limited on when we can spend time together. Another thing, I'm still a virgin and I want to wait until the time is right."

I nod. "I respect that. We can wait until you're ready. Eventually, you're going to have tell your parents about us."

"I will, again, when the time is right." I nod again as he walks me to my car. "I guess this means goodnight."

"It doesn't have to be." I give him puppy dog eyes.

"Yes it does, my parents think I'm studying. If I don't make it home by curfew, they'll hunt me down." He gives me another kiss. "Bye, I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Bye!" I watch him walk off. I smile again. I can see this working out as soon as he gets the ok from his parents. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Nichole's POV

I'm in my office finishing up some last minute things when there's a knock on my door. "Come in." The door opens and Stan walks in. He's the last person I expected to see.

"Hi Nichole, I need a favor." He tells me.

"What?"

"I may have a son-"

"What? Are you trying to tell me you cheated on Wendy when you were married?" I cut him off. "Get the fuck out of my office you dirty dog!"

He shakes his head. "No! He's only three months old. I was wondering if you could run a DNA test for me?"

I shake my head. "No!"

"Please Nichole, I really want to know if he's mine. I think he is, but I want to be sure of it." He pleads.

I sigh. He's looks so pathetic. "Fine. Is he here?" He nods. "Bring him in here and I'll get a DNA kit."

"Thank you so much Nichole!"

"Don't thank me!" I step out of the office to get a kit. When I return moments later, I see a tall blond chick in my office with Stan and a baby boy. I notice the baby looks a little pale. "Who's she?"

"This is my girlfriend Susan."

"The baby's mom?"

He shakes his head. "No…"

I roll my eyes. "Oh you're a disgusting pig! I'm glad Wendy got rid of you!" Stan explains to me where the mom is as if I really give a shit. I swab Stan and the baby's cheek. "I'll tell my friend at the lab to get me these results ASAP. Do you have time to wait?"

"Yes, again thank you." I leave and send the results to the lab. About an hour later, the lab tech comes to my office with the results. I look at the results and glare at Stan.

"He's yours."

"Really?" Stan tears up. "He's my boy?"

I nod. "That's what I said…"

He looks at Susan. "He's my son." At this point he's now in tears. Susan hugs him.

"It's going to be ok." Susan whispers. "Like I said, I'll help in any way I can." Stan nods wiping his eyes.

"I hate to interrupt, but I think you need to get that baby checked out. He's looking awfully pale." I tell them.

Stan looks at him. "You think so?"

"I'm around babies all the time, I know a sick baby when I see one."

"I-I don't have insurance for him…" He looks embarrassed. "I mean, I just found out about Eli yesterday."

I close my eyes and sigh. God this guy is such a loser. "Stan, I'll talk to the doctor and tell him to squeeze you in. I'll say you forgot his insurance card. He really needs to see a doctor."

Stan hugs me. "Thank you so much Nichole!"

"Don't ever hug me again! Go wait in the lobby and I'll let the doctor know you're here. Make sure you add him to insurance ASAP!" Stan nods and they leave. I send an email to the doctor letting him know about little Eli. After that, I immediately pick up the phone and call Kyle. "Baby, I have some gossip for you!"
