“I’m Ally’s biological father.” Those words play over and over in my head.

I’m sitting on one of the hard gray plastic chairs in the waiting room and stare at the door Andrew walked through ten minutes ago. When he dropped that bombshell down everyone was left with their mouths hanging open and their minds reeling, me included. After a few moments of stunned silence, the room exploded with murmurs and shocked whispers of what this revelation meant. It was obvious Sandra knew about Ally and the situation. She avoided questions as best she could, until I stepped up and told everyone to back off.

“Leave her the hell alone,” I growl to the crowd. “It’s not her place to explain anything. Andrew will tell us what’s going on when he can.”

After my small outburst, the group dispersed with guilty faces into small separate groups, talking quietly amongst themselves. I understand everyone’s need to know what the hell is going on, but it’s clear she’s upset and doesn’t need to be interrogated. Hell, I’m just as shocked as everyone else and dying to know how Andrew became a father, but I also know Andrew is the only one who can tell us.

Sandra left to grab coffees for everyone. I offered to go with her but she insisted she needed time alone. I can’t say I blame her.

I run my fingers through my hair and grab chunks of it as I bend over and place my elbows on my knees. The look on Andrew’s face right before he walked away tells me he regrets me finding out this way, all of us finding out this way. I’m not upset he kept this from me. I’m just surprised and curious, and I have to admit, a bit intimidated. He obviously cares for this Ally girl deeply. The sadness and desperation in his eyes while he talked about her illness showed he’s hurting. I hated the look and wanted to wipe it from his face. My need to be there for Andrew is strong. I wish there was something I could do to help, but all I can do is be there for him and comfort him if the outcome isn’t good.

I have no idea how serious Ally’s condition is. I just hope for her and Andrew’s sake whatever treatment she’s getting works. No little girl should have to go through what she has. My heart hurts for her, Andrew, Sandra, and her family.

“Hey, how are you holding up?” Chris asks, taking the seat beside me.

I release my hair and glance up at her. “I’m alright. Just shocked and worried. Andrew’s back there giving bone marrow to a daughter I knew nothing about. A daughter who could be dying. I feel like I need to be back there with him. I can’t imagine the pain he’s going through right now.”

Andrew’s a strong person, but it doesn’t matter how tough you are when it comes to the possibility of losing a child.

Shit. It’s weird to think he has a child.
