You succeeded

Three weeks later, .myu are sitting at your desk, going through a stack of morning emails, when your phone vibrates

It’s a direct message from Claire. You open it, and your heart skips a beat as the attached image loads.

It’s a crystal-clear photograph of a white plastic test strip resting on her bathroom counter. There are two distinct, dark pink lines running down the center. A positive result. Beneath the image, her text reads,

Claire: Congratulations, you did it. ❤ The project was a complete success. I wanted to let you, the real father, know the news first. I’m going to let my cuckold husband know afterwards. He’s currently at work, but I couldn't wait to tell you.

A slow, triumphant grin spreads across your face as you stare at the screen. Claire is carrying your seed.

Your fingers fly across the keyboard as you type an immediate response.

You: That is incredible news. The delivery is officially on schedule. Since you kept your word and told me first... I think it’s time we set up that private celebration we talked about. Just the two of us.

Her reply comes back almost instantly.

Claire: Oh god, John... my heart is pounding. You really want to do it? Behind Tom’s back while I’m carrying your baby? It’s so wrong...

You smirk. She doesn't say 'No'
