Tina’s gaze never wavered from Shawn’s face. “I love him, Megan. I’ve never stopped loving him.”
The words caught in her throat as the raw memory of her loss was too brutal to speak aloud. But Megan understood. Her face crumpled. Tears cascaded down her cheeks, mirroring the rainstorm raging within Tina.
“I just wanted to give him a good life. He had no one, and I… I was so alone,” Megan finally said, blubbering.
Tina sighed, not wanting to hurt her or risk anything. So, she came up with an idea. “He needs his mother, Megan. Both of us.”
Megan’s expression turned hopeful as she said, “Shared custody?”
Tina nodded, but she didn’t mean it.
The DNA test confirmed Shawn was indeed Tina’s biological son. Megan hung her head as they read the results at Tina’s home. Her lawyer was present just in case.
“I knew too,” Megan confessed.
“What do you mean?” Tina pressed.
“The fear of losing him… blinded me,” Megan explained. “I saw his birthmark. But I convinced myself you were wrong, made myself believe it was just a coincidence.”
“Meg…” Tina whispered.
“I’m so sorry, Tina,” Megan sobbed. “I never meant to hurt you.”
