I Did a Genetic Test after a Man Knocked on My Door Claiming to Be My Twins’ Real Father

Tom, a full-time dad, cherished his lively twins beyond measure. But everything changed when one day, an unfamiliar man appeared at his doorstep, asserting that he was the true father of the twins and demanding that Tom surrender custody.

Flour-dusted shelves. A path of peanut butter from an open jar to the living room carpet. Six-year-old twins, Kevin and Stacey, were causing their usual adorable chaos as their dad Tom tried to salvage dinner.

Tom’s life revolved around these two little whirlwinds.

From the moment their tiny hands grasped his fingers, his world had become a blur of scraped knees, bedtime cuddles, and the endless pursuit of the perfect pancake. Flour sprinkled his apron like a medal of honor, symbolizing countless baking escapades.

Tom breathed deeply. “She needs a liver transplant. You might be her only hope. Please, consider donating.”

Michael remained silent, his gaze fixed.

“There’s a condition,” Michael finally said, coldly.

“If I agree, you sign over full custody of Kevin and Stacey.”

Tom’s heart sank. He didn’t want to, but had no choice.

The doctor had said Stacey’s donor might not be found in time.

“Alright,” Tom said, resolutely. “If it saves Stacey, I’ll sign.”

Michael’s face showed a hint of surprise before settling into a smirk. He took out a file.

“Good choice,” he said, handing Tom the papers. “Sign here.”

Desperation overtook Tom as he signed.

“Thank you, Tom,” Michael said, taking the documents. “I’ll be at the hospital in an hour.”

Tom returned to the hospital, heart heavy. Monica looked up, eyes red.

“No! How could you?” Monica cried, learning what Tom had done.

“Stacey’s life is at risk. I couldn’t take the chance,” Tom said, pained.

An hour passed with no sign of Michael. Monica paced. Tom’s calls went to voicemail.

Finally, Michael answered.

“Where are you?” Tom demanded, desperation in his voice.

Michael’s laugh was cold.

“Did you think I’d donate my liver? I needed those papers for my inheritance.”

Tom felt crushed. “What do you mean?”

“My grandfather’s fortune could only go to me if I had a child. Now I have two,” Michael said, ending the call.

Tom dropped his phone, feeling despair. Stacey won’t make it. I’ve let her down, he thought.

Just then, the doctor approached.

“We found a donor,” he said. “It’s a match for Stacey. We’re prepping for surgery.”

The surgery was successful. The doctors assured Tom and Monica that Stacey would recover.

Relief washed over Tom. Ahead was a long road—to regain custody and mend his marriage. The path seemed daunting, but Tom was ready to fight. He’d face any challenge for his twins.
