Julian Knight: sips coffee, glances nervously Did you ever wonder about the kid's real dad?
Not really. But now that you mention it… why?
takes a deep breath There's something I need to tell you, Studan. Something important...
She set her cup down What do you mean?
leans forward, lowers voice I...I'm the real dad. The kid's mine.
no not really… she hugs him
Julian relaxes into the hug, wrapping his arms around her.
Well, there's something I need to tell you. Something about that kid we accidentally adopted…
well I always thought it was you but I could never ask you because we weren’t together.
chuckles Yeah, I can see how that might've been a bit awkward to bring up.
Not really.. I mean, it’s not like I can change anything.
takes a deep breath, sets down the coffee mug Well, there's something I need to tell you... About that kid we accidentally adopted.
Not really. I just thought it would be better if I raised him as a single parent.
nods I understand that. But there's something you should know...
not really.. I knew u weren’t the bio dad
leans back in chair, sighs Well... I am.
Well.. I did but I didn’t want to question you about it..
leans forward Yeah... About that. The truth is, I'm the biological father.
takes a deep breath, waiting for your reaction.
"yeah, it would be nice to know" I say, my hand gently resting on the table.
Julian fidgets with his coffee cup, avoiding eye contact.
Yeah...it's actually a bit complicated. The thing is, I-I'm the kid's biological father.
He finally looks up at you.
no not really. I thought it would be harder to adopt him if I knew. I take a sip of my coffee.
takes a deep breath, then another sip of coffee Yeah... well, there's something I need to tell you. It might come as a bit of a shock...
Not really… I know it’s not my biological kid but I love them just the same.
Julian nods slowly, looking relieved
I'm glad you feel that way... Because there's something I need to tell you.
Yeah I have. Why do you ask?
sighs
I have something to confess. I'm the biological father of that child.
