I almost left after seeing our baby, but
After years of waiting, the narrator and Elena finally welcomed a baby,
but the moment turned tense when their daughter was born with pale skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair.
Shocked, he lashed out, shouting, “You cheated!”
Elena asked him to listen and showed a tiny birthmark on the baby’s foot—the same one he shared with his brother.
She then revealed she carried a rare recessive gene that could cause light features, even when both parents are Black.
Though shaken, he began to believe her, but his family did not.
His mother and brother mocked Elena and insisted the baby wasn’t his.
The situation escalated when he caught his mother trying to scrub off the birthmark, crossing a line.
He told her to leave and made his stance clear.
For reassurance, Elena suggested a DNA test. The results confirmed the truth: the baby was theirs.
Faced with proof, his family apologized, and he realized his family was complete just as it was.
