Wendi must have told him everything she saw in Western Ocean City so she's not so surprised he knew. She was just surprised that he mentioned it too early.
"Yes."
"I didn't know that the one night stand we had then would lead to you being pregnant for me. Honestly, I wasn't in my right senses when I spent the night with you," he said. Donna had already written to him after it was extablished that Richard wasn't her children's father. Since Christopher also had a slight resemblance with the kids, she had written to him to claim the kids as his.
Christopher never spent never any night with Katherine in the past. Infact, after he dissapeared from her life, today is the next time they would be seeing. But if he doesn't claim her child, how can he win her heart?
Katherine felt very awakward with what he said, she said quickly, "my kids are not for you, General."
"Don't tell me you don't already know this. You can already see the similarities between my kids and I."
"My kids are not yours, sorry. Is there anything else you invited me here for?" She asked.
He looked deeply at her and after a few seconds, he declared powerfully, "The kids are mine."
He added, "not just the kids alone, even you, Katherine. You are mine."
Katherine was already feeling uncomfortable in his office, "I think I should leave now." Then she stood.
"Get ready, by 8PM tomorrow, I'm taking the children for a DNA test. When the prove is out, will you still able to say kids aren't mine?"
Katherine didn't say anymore word but just walked out.
As Katherine took the elevator downstairs, she couldn't help but wonder why he was speaking with so much confidence. He sounded like someone that gets what he wants no matter what the other party thinks or feels about it. He was already claiming her kids and her as his? Did he think she was the little girl of the past that use to crush on him? Many things has changed now.
Katherine was ninety percent sure that he was their father. If he's not the one, who else could it be then? As she approached her car, she saw someone already leaning on the car. She walked closer and saw Derrick.
"Marshall!" She saluted.
"What did he say?" Derrick asked.
Katherine sighed, "Marshall, I'll be needing your help." She then answered his question, "He said he would be performing DNA test on my kids tomorrow."
Katherine continued, "he said the kids are his. I don't know how he already knows that the kids are for him." Katherine mumbled in confusion. "I don't want him as the father of my kids." She looked at Derrick's face pitifully.
"Why?"
"I just don't." Katherine didn't want to Derrick and that Christopher and her had a past together." She said and added, "Marshall, he said we should go to the hospital tomorrow to perform a DNA test, can you please follow me?"
"To do what?"
"I know this is wrong but I want you to claim you want to perform a DNA test on the kids too, afterall, the kids has the same resemblance as you as well. Then I will tell the doctor to switch the result. The doctor will write Christopher's name in yours and your name on that of Christopher's result." Katherine said.
She continued, "so it will come out as you being the father of the kids while he would be dissapointed to realize that he's not the father of the kids."
Her heart was beating abnormally as she made this offer. It sounded rude or awkward telling Marshall to do such a thing but she really didn't have anyone else that could do such for her.
She can't let Christopher claim her children.
When Marshall wouldn't speak even after many minutes had passed, Katherine felt very bad assuming that his silence probably meant 'No.'
"Marshall, why are you here?" She decided to change the topic.
Derrick held her by the hand gently and pulled her to himself gently, "you prefer for me to be the father of your kids, right?"
Katherine's mouth shivered, "no."
"No?" He repeated and hummed, "I'll help you. Get inside the car, I'll drive you home."
