After my divorce, I chose to become a single mother through sperm donation, determined to raise a child on my own. I was 28, and after Ethan made it clear he didn’t want kids, I decided to go ahead with the plan. My best friend Olivia was skeptical, but I was set. I carefully selected a donor, avoiding the chaos of dating, and soon after, I underwent insemination.
Nine months later, I moved to Connecticut with my new son, Alan, to start fresh. Over the next eight years, I embraced motherhood, raising Alan as a single parent. But when my mother fell ill, I moved back to my hometown in Georgia. However, once we arrived, old friends began reacting oddly to Alan, staring at him with surprise and whispering. I brushed it off as small-town gossip, but it kept happening.

Jude and I agreed to take a paternity test to confirm. While I wasn’t sure how his wife would feel, I knew Jude would want to be a part of Alan’s life if the test proved he was the father. My life as a single mother was about to change, and I wasn’t running from it anymore. Sometimes the best stories are the ones we never planned.
