But six weeks later, while cleaning the bathroom, I found a positive pregnancy test hidden under some towels.
My hands started shaking.
That night, I sat next to Emily in her bed.
“Honey, please tell me the truth. Are you pregnant?
His face paled.
Then he broke down in tears.
I’m sorry, Mom! I’m so sorry!
I hugged her tightly.
“Honey, you’re my daughter. Nothing will ever change that. But please tell me who the baby’s father is.
Suddenly, he stopped crying and looked nervously at the door of his room.
“Mom, please, don’t trust Dad.
I stared at her.
What are you talking about, Emily?
He grabbed my hands.
“Please promise me you won’t tell him anything I’m going to tell you.
My heart began to beat strongly.
