A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 205

“How can you be so sure?” William had of course been hoping this but was it actually a possibility?

“Go back and check, as for Peter, I will help you to look into it!” After Alexis had said this he hung up.

“What did he say?” Sherry asked nervously.

“Sherry, is there a possibility that Dan is our child?” He said carefully, staring into her eyes, if Alexis hadn’t said it then he would never have expected this. But as soon as Alexis reminded him it was as if he had been dealt a much unexpected blow.

“Dan? Oh my gosh!” Sherry was dumbfounded, “Really? Other people say that he looks like me, and to be honest he really does look similar to me, however, could this really be possible?”

‘How she had hoped that Dan was really her biological child!’

“We need to go and check the DNA immediately.” William pressed hard on the car pedal and sped off as fast as an arrow.

As soon as they arrived home, John had also just returned from playing ball with Dan and as soon as William saw the two of them he said excitedly, “Have you seen how much my father likes Dan? Perhaps even more than Sammy? And this child is also so very clever; I really hope that he is my son!”

William helped her undo her seatbelt, “Don’t tell my father!”

Although, he was also worried about what would he do if he wasn’t his child?

As soon as Sherry got out of the car she shouted out, “Dan?”

“Mummy!” As soon as he turned his head and saw Sherry he displayed a big smile, his red lips and white teeth were an exact resemblance to Sherry’s!

William felt slightly flushed as he watched them.

“Dan!” Sherry hugged him tight, praying from the bottom of her heart that Dan was really her son.

“Did you both go out?” John asked.

“Father, we want to take Dan out for a bit, we will be back soon.” William said, for he didn’t want his father to know that he wanted to take Dan to get a DNA test.

“Where are you going?” John was waiting to play chess with Dan.

“To see my wife’s father, we will be back soon!” William had already picked up Dan, “Son, we are going out for a bit!”

“I am not your son!” Dan shrugged, “Sammy is your son!”

Being told this William felt slightly put down, Sammy was not! However he said nothing, “Let’s go Sherry!”

At the hospital.

William said to Dan, “Hey, let’s go get a test done?”

“What test?” Dan frowned.

Sherry said, “Dan, we are just going to get a test to check for your blood type, just a few drops of blood is all that’s needed!”

“Do I really have to?” Dan asked.

“Are you afraid it will hurt?” Sherry had always taught him to be brave.

“I’m not afraid! But I do feel that Will and you are both looking slightly strange!” Dan was very sensitive to the changes of a person and therefore noticed they both looked a little off. “I have a feeling that you want the blood to confirm who my parents are!”

William and Sherry both felt slightly awkward for a moment, this child really was too clever.

Then at this moment William’s usual doctor came over to them, “Mr. Rowland, the fastest the result can be back is in about half a day, because the testing centre is quite busy at the moment!”

“You aren’t able to get the results back a little quicker?” William was very anxious to know.

“This already is the quickest time!”

“Alright then, let’s go get the blood test done!” William stretched out his hand to Dan.

“A test for what?” Dan asked rather surprised, “Mummy?”

Sherry was taken aback, “Dan, Mummy never lies and what I’m going to tell you now is that it’s something important to Mummy and William, you do not ask why you have to get this test done, ok?”

She didn’t want to give the child some hope and then get hurt, nor did she want to lie to him.

“Alright mummy! Then I won’t ask anymore!” Dan nodded his head and obediently took William’s hand. “Doctor, you can stick the needle into my hand, I’m not scared!”

“Such a good child!” The doctor patted Dan’s head and then glanced at the two of them again and sighed as he said, “I have a feeling that even without the test, things are clear actually?”

***

Sherry and William were both holding on to this hope, for if it was really true then this would be amazing. There was no way to put into words how they were feeling.

The doctor took blood samples from all three of them, and as Sherry looked at her son’s hand, her heart ached, “Dan, does it hurt?”

Dan shook his head, “Mum, do you feel any pain? I can blow on it for you…”

Sherry trembled inside, the pain getting worse. However as she looked at her son’s face which really did look like hers, inside she was feeling a whole mix of emotions.

Dan grabbed Sherry’s hand and blew on the wound several times, “Mummy, does it still hurt?”

Sherry burst into tears immediately, “Dan, it’s all better now!”

“Mummy, why are you crying?” Dan helped her to wipe the tears away feeling slightly puzzled, “Mummy, don’t cry! I will be very good to you, so please don’t cry, mummy shouldn’t cry right? Are you crying because it still hurts?”

William felt very touched for he had never seen such a caring child, tears were forming at his eyes as he crouched down and stretched his arms out around Sherry and Dan.

Dan raised his head to look at William, their beautiful eyes were both so similar, and Dan blinked feeling uncertain, “Will, did it hurt you too? Should I blow on your wound a little as well?”
