My husband has a daughter, but it's not mine.

"What did you say? A sperm donation?"

My mind went blank as I stared at Summer Davies' tear-streaked face.

"Yes, the baby I'm carrying… it's Julian Vance's."

Summer dabbed at her eyes, timidly turning to Julian Vance, who stood beside her.

"Julian, surely you haven't forgotten? Five years ago, when we were studying abroad together, you volunteered for a local sperm donation program…"

"I just never imagined that the seed you left behind would… germinate inside me."

Summer's tears streamed down, her voice choked with sobs.
