They say the truth will set you free, but first it might turn your world upside down. My affair with married coworker Kevin seemed exciting until the pregnancy test came back positive. What happened next was beyond anything I could have imagined.
Kevin’s wife Andrea called me last night, fully aware of our relationship and my pregnancy. Her calm, measured tone threw me more than any angry outburst could have. When she asked to meet, curiosity overpowered my better judgment.
Walking into that cafĂ©, I expected confrontation. Instead, I found Andrea sitting with their two teenagers, waiting like we were old friends. She dropped the first bombshell: they’d been divorced for three months – something Kevin never mentioned during our months-long affair.
Then came her extraordinary proposal – she wanted our children to know each other as siblings. Even more shocking, Kevin’s kids seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the idea. His daughter gushed about baby names while his son asked if he could teach the baby to play soccer.
Now I’m left reeling. The man who claimed to be trapped in a terrible marriage was apparently already free. The woman he described as horrible turned out to be gracious and thoughtful. And the children he said would be devastated seem ready to welcome my baby with open arms.
