Father Finds Out He’s Infertile, Recognizes Who His Kids Look Like – Page 4

A Weird Phase

He hadn’t thought about it in years, but in light of recent events, he couldn’t think about anything else.

Keep The Faith

Both Richard and Kate were raised as Christians, so it came as quite a shock when she said, all of a sudden, that she wanted to convert to Judaism.

And it didn’t stop there. She even wanted to give all three of their sons Jewish middle names. Never in a million years could Richard have seen that coming.

Spiritual Awakening

At the time, he just put it down to a bit of spiritual soul searching during a difficult pregnancy. He thought it was kind of unusual, but he didn’t suspect anything.

But now, right after the doctor’s revelation, everything made much more sense. One thing particularly revealed itself in a new light. Now, his mind was cast back to those regular visits with the rabbi.

The Other Man

At this point, Richard had convinced himself that Kate had been seeing another man behind his back and that the man in question was really the boys’ father.

His blood was boiling. But before he could confront Kate about his suspicions, he realized there was something he hadn’t considered that might mean he had it all wrong.

One In A Million

Twins occur in natural pregnancies at a rate of around 1 in every 250 births. If the chances of Richard somehow managing to father children despite his disease were low, the odds of them being twins was astronomical.

Unfortunately for Richard, that could only mean one thing. Now, his world was coming down in shambles.

A Possibility

But couples who are having difficulty conceiving and resort to using fertility treatments find the likelihood of having twins increases greatly.

Had IVF treatment helped them have children when it should have been impossible? But as he thought about the twins, it hit him like a ton of bricks. He knew who it was they looked like.

Who Is he?

Richard loved his sons, but the fact that they looked nothing like him had always hurt. And now with a genuine reason to believe they weren’t his kids at all, it was absolute agony.

But until that moment, he had never been able to put his finger on who it was the two twins did look like.
