HUNTER
A week after I sent out the email to Liv's matches, I got one response. His name was Noah and he was 54 years old. I was at work when I saw his email. As soon as I could steal a moment to read it, I left for my office and shut the door.
Hunter,
I have thought long and hard about your question. Sadly, I don't remember getting any girlfriend or fling pregnant. I do have three children with my wife.
I do find it strange that my DNA matched your girlfriend's. Perhaps she's related to someone in my family and that why we matched.
In any case, I am more than willing to take a paternity test if it will give her and you a peace of mind.
I wish I could have included better news, but I wish her luck in finding her father. I can only imagine her pain.
Sincerely,
Noah
My heart dropped. It sucked that we were back to square one. I really thought one of these men was Liv's father, or at least related closely to her.
But he was offering a paternity test. Maybe something happened when he was younger and he wasn't remembering it.
I was grasping at straws, but it was better than grasping at nothing.
So, I emailed him back.
Hi Noah,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I'm sure she would appreciate giving a paternity test a shot. I will let you know if she would prefer not to and if she does, we can talk about our next steps.
Best,
Hunter
I hit send and laid back in my chair, trying to process what was happening. Before I could get too comfortable, though, there was a knock on the door and I was needed upfront.
Later that evening, after I closed the shop, I sat in my car and dialed Liv's number.
She picked up on the second ring.
"Hey, babe," she said.
I couldn't help but smile. "Hey, fiesty."
"What's up?"
"Just closed the shop. I wanted to see you."
"I was just thinking the same thing. How about you come over to my place? We always end up at yours."
"You know I'd love to; I'll be there in a few, okay?"
"Okay, drive safe."
I chuckled. "I'll try."
The drive wasn't too bad. We'd worked overtime a bit today to catch up on certain orders for baby showers and weddings so I'd missed the worst of rush hour.
