Woman Announces Pregnancy to Her Fiancé’s Family: “He’s Infertile!” Says His Mother – Story of the Day

Chris’s parents never accepted his relationship with Amanda. When she announced her pregnancy at dinner, they accused her of being a cheater because they had just received shocking medical results. Their lives would never be the same again.

“I just want to get this over with,” Chris sighed outside his parents’ door.

“They’re your parents, honey. We want them to finally accept me and come to our wedding, right?” Amanda stroked his arms.

Chris grunted. “I really don’t care, Amanda. I’m sorry, but if they can’t accept the woman I love, I don’t want anything to do with them.”

“Please, honey. We need to make peace with them. And what about the future? They are family. We want them to be part of our children’s lives, don’t we?” Amanda continued, smiling slightly. The problem was that the young, beautiful woman didn’t see how her husband’s mouth tightened.

Chris tried to keep his composure after her words, but it was difficult. “Yes, I suppose so,” he murmured through his stiff lips.

“That’s… fine. When are you going to quit your job?” he continued.

“Okay, keep your head up. We’ll get through this together,” Amanda said, hugging him.

Chris’s mother, Mrs. Castillo, opened the door with her typical fake grin, which only slightly lifted the corners of her lips.

“Hello, Amanda. Nice to see you,” she said, nodding slightly and moving to let them through the door.

Chris wanted to roll his eyes. It had been years since he and Amanda got together. They were engaged, and his parents still considered her the woman who had “ruined their plans.” They wanted their son to be with someone else and were angry about his decision.

When Chris graduated from college and got his first job, his parents introduced him to Ciara, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geoffrey. Her father was on the board of a local private clinic and highly respected in the town.

Chris came from the Castillo family, who had always been wealthy thanks to the investments of his great-grandfather. Chris didn’t care much about that stuff. His parents were obsessed with status and what others would say.

However, in college, he found the best friends from all walks of life. That changed his perspective, and he realized that the girls he had met at private school and country club parties were not for him. He wanted a real woman.

And Amanda appeared. He had been at his job for a few years when he bumped into her while leaving a parking lot. It was love at first sight for him, so he tried to joke, smile, and immediately asked her out.

She worked in a nearby building and wasn’t thrilled with his advances. Eventually, though, she agreed to a date, and they had been together ever since.

The first time she met his parents was a disaster. They told Chris to break up with her as soon as she left the restaurant table to go to the bathroom.

“She’s an assistant. Why can’t you go out with Ciara? She adores you. She’s not the right girl for you,” his mother said quietly, but her face showed desperation and disgust.

“Listen to your mother, my son. You must marry a woman from your own… uh… class. Otherwise, it won’t work,” his father chimed in, shaking his head.

“You two should shut up. I won’t listen to this. Ciara is a dull little princess, and I don’t want to be anywhere near her… ever!” he said firmly but still discreetly enough.

Amanda returned to the table, and the meal continued. His parents never had a good poker face, so this meeting wasn’t pleasant. But after those comments, it was even worse, and Amanda could feel it.

Later, he explained everything to her, and she understood and told him to give his parents time. But it had been a while, and they still hadn’t warmed up to her. They were polite to her, but grumbled behind her back. Mostly, they tolerated her, especially since they got engaged. Still, she remained hopeful. Amanda was the type of person who always saw the glass half full. That’s why she still called his mother to plan dinners and included her in some wedding details.

The only thing Amanda hadn’t openly discussed was the fact that they were already trying to have a baby. She wanted it to be a surprise. Hopefully, Mr. and Mrs. Castillo would finally warm up once they had a grandchild.

As they sat at his parents’ dining table, all Chris could think about was getting this meeting over with. He had something urgent to tell his fiancée. It could change the nature of their relationship forever. She might even decide to leave him.

“They don’t know what they’re missing. Let them eat cake at their country clubs while you and I find true happiness.”

He had actually talked to his parents about it a few days ago when he received the news. They didn’t have much to say. Their faces showed sadness and concern, but they remained as stoic as ever.

“If Amanda leaves you, let her,” his mother said, but that would kill Chris. That’s why he was afraid to tell her the truth.

“So, Amanda,” his father began, snapping Chris out of his thoughts. “How’s work going?”

“Oh, Mr. Castillo. Work is great. My boss has a big event coming up, and I’m helping plan it. It’s really fun,” she replied, pleased that he was showing interest in her.

“That’s… nice. When are you going to quit your job?” he continued.

“Excuse me?”

“Quit. To become a housewife,” Mr. Castillo clarified.

“I’m not quitting,” Amanda said, confused.

“She will continue working, Father,” Chris interjected, annoyed.

“That’s… perfectly fine. Amanda is, after all, a modern woman, my dear,” his mother said, not quite smiling but not angry either.

“Well, I don’t know yet what I plan to do. It depends on the future,” Amanda said nervously. “Speaking of which, I have an announcement. I’m pregnant!”

There was extreme silence at the table, seemingly lasting for hours, but it was only a few seconds. Amanda had been certain that a baby was all this family needed to finally accept her, but she had no idea what Chris had just discovered.

The first person to break the silence was Mrs. Castillo. “He’s infertile!” she screamed angrily. Her eyes were almost red with fury.

Chris was frozen in shock. They had been intimate without protection for a while, hoping for a baby. But he had just received medical results proving that he couldn’t father children. This meant… that Amanda had cheated on him.

“YOU WORTHLESS TROLLOP!” his mother screamed even louder. “YOU CHEATED ON MY SON AND GOT PREGNANT? AND NOW YOU WANT TO TRAP HIM WITH A BABY?”

“Trap him with a baby? Mrs. Castillo, Chris and I have been trying for months. We wanted to surprise you and start a family right away. What do you mean by infertile? That’s impossible!” Amanda shook her head quickly, not knowing what to do.

Mr. Castillo wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin and stood up. “Leave this house immediately. Don’t ever show your face near my son again, or we will get a restraining order,” he threatened quietly.

“Sir! Chris, please. Do something! I don’t understand!” Amanda pleaded with her fiancé, but Chris couldn’t move. Suddenly, Mrs. Castillo grabbed Amanda by the hair and dragged her to the front door.

“Get out of here, now!” the older woman screamed.

Amanda held on to her hair to avoid further pain, but she kept calling out for Chris. It was in vain. He still sat at the table, staring at his plate, motionless.

“CHRIS!” Amanda finally yelled as the heavy front door slammed shut.

The next few days were confusing and blurry. Chris moved out of their shared apartment, leaving the medical results on the kitchen counter. He also left a Post-it.

“I was worried and got tested. I am infertile. Completely. I hope you have a happy life, but not with me,” he wrote, breaking Amanda’s heart.

The doctor must be wrong. She was pregnant, and it was 100% Chris’s baby. She hadn’t been with anyone else in years. How was this possible? And why wouldn’t he talk to me?

Despite her efforts, Chris refused contact. When she went to his parents’ house, they called the police, who told her to leave or risk being arrested.

“Fine! I’m leaving! I will raise this wonderful baby on my own! You’re the ones missing out, and when you realize the truth, it’ll be too late!” she yelled towards the house and walked away.

Contrary to what the Castillo family claimed, Amanda didn’t need to trap anyone. She didn’t come from a wealthy family, but she had a great job. Her company had a fantastic maternity leave policy, and the entire team was ready to support her wholeheartedly. Her boss loved her, so she wasn’t worried.

The problem was that without Chris and as a single mom, she was facing a very different future. But if others could do it, so could she.

So, she had the baby, named him Paul, and did her best. It was sometimes overwhelming to do everything alone, but she persevered every day for her son. The only problem was that her baby was a spitting image of Chris. It was unmistakable.

“Those idiots,” she whispered after putting him to sleep. “They don’t know what they’re missing. Let them eat cake at their country clubs while you and I find true happiness.”

Chris tried to move on with his life. His usually cold parents were very supportive after he moved out of the shared apartment with Amanda. He was grateful for that. The last thing he could imagine was Amanda cheating on him. It made him wonder if he had ever really known her.

As time passed, he resumed his life, pretending to be fine. His mother would invite him to events and introduce him to new girls, but he couldn’t get over Amanda. It was impossible for him to move on, especially since she had once been so sweet and wonderful.

But the anger hadn’t completely faded. Chris even became obsessed with checking Amanda’s social media. Unfortunately, she had blocked him everywhere.

Two years passed before Chris saw her in person again. He was at a work conference, trying to climb the ladder to become one of the company’s VPs. It was a good distraction, but there was always something missing.

On the last day of the event, he went to lunch at a local restaurant, and there she was. Amanda looked beautiful, laughing with a friend at another table.

He froze. He hadn’t seen her in so long. The woman he had once loved was right there. She got up to go to the bathroom, and he took the chance to follow her.

“Amanda,” he called out as soon as they were alone.

She turned around, recognized him immediately, and her expression hardened. “Chris. How are you?”

“I’m fine. How about you?” he asked, unsure of what else to say.

“I’m fine,” she replied curtly, but Chris noticed something else. She was nervous. “Listen, I have to get back to my friend.”

“Wait, Amanda. Can we talk?” he begged, getting desperate.

“About what? There’s nothing to say, Chris. I have to go,” she insisted.

“Amanda, please!” Chris shouted. He was on the verge of a nervous breakdown after seeing her again. Amanda sighed in defeat and nodded.

“Fine. Let’s sit outside for a bit,” she agreed, leaving the bathroom, nodding to her friend, and leading him outside.

They sat across from each other at a table on the sidewalk, and Chris tried to speak but couldn’t find the words. Amanda spoke first.

“Chris, I’m fine. I’m not angry anymore. We’re over, and that’s that. Let’s move on. You don’t need to make yourself miserable over me. I moved on years ago,” she lied, knowing she could never get over him. But he was too proud to ever admit the truth.

He nodded. “Okay, I guess that’s it, then. I just can’t believe that I never really knew you. Why? Just tell me why,” he finally managed to say.

“I never knew you either, Chris. You have no idea how much I loved you. You abandoned me when I needed you the most. You didn’t even let me talk or say goodbye. And you didn’t let me explain. I would never cheat on you. So think about that while I go back to my life,” Amanda spat with as much contempt as she could muster, picked up her bag, and walked away.

Years passed, and Chris continued trying to move on. However, he never married, much to his parents’ disappointment. He worked a lot and even became VP of a big company, so the effort paid off. But he was always lonely, thinking about Amanda and how much he still loved her. He could never be happy, despite everything.

When he turned 35, his parents told him that Ciara had married someone else. But his father was in poor health, and his mother was in complete denial. As an only child, Chris couldn’t abandon them.

In time, they both passed away, and Chris received the inheritance. But it was a lonely time, and all he could think about was Amanda. Where was she? What was she doing? Did she ever have that baby?

“Why don’t I try calling her? It’s been ten years. I wonder if she ever had kids,” he murmured. But he was still too much of a coward to contact her.

However, Amanda didn’t have a private social media account. Her work required her to have a public one, and he sometimes saw pictures of her with a little boy.

Chris was confused. His mouth dropped open every time he saw those pictures because the boy was identical to him.

“How is this possible?” he thought, but after everything, he figured Amanda had moved on with someone who looked like him.

But years after his parents’ death, Chris became obsessed with meeting that boy. It was unhealthy. He knew it. But it was uncontrollable.

Finally, at 42, Chris realized it was now or never. He had to meet her and that kid.

When Amanda answered the door, she was surprised and stunned. “Chris?”

“Hello, Amanda. I… I saw the pictures of your son. Is he yours?” he stuttered nervously.

“Yes,” Amanda said, turning her head toward the hallway, where a tall boy appeared.

Chris’s mouth dropped open at the sight. The boy looked like he could be his son.

“This is Paul. Paul, this is Mr. Castillo,” Amanda introduced them. Chris couldn’t help but ask. “Paul, how old are you?”

“I’m ten years old,” the boy replied, smiling up at him.

Chris felt something break inside him. The boy was ten years old. And he had been born around the time when Amanda got pregnant. That baby had been his. It had always been his, and he abandoned them without even a word.

“Oh my God,” Chris muttered as Amanda shook her head in pity.

“Paul, go to your room for a bit. I’ll call you later, okay?”

“Okay, Mom!” the boy agreed, heading back inside.

“You said he wasn’t mine, that I was infertile. You said you had cheated on me. You let me go through that pain alone! Do you realize how much you hurt me?”

“You’re blaming me? I thought you cheated! You left me, Chris. You didn’t even let me explain. I had to fend for myself, and when I needed you the most, you left me with our son,” Amanda explained, tears gathering in her eyes.

“I never thought it would be like this. But I was so angry. All I could think about was my own pain.”

“But what about me? You weren’t the only one suffering,” Amanda said, wiping away her tears.

“I know. I’m sorry. I just wish I could turn back time.”

“So do I,” Amanda admitted. “But we can’t. You abandoned us, Chris. You abandoned me when I needed you most.”

Chris couldn’t speak after that. Amanda couldn’t forgive him, and he couldn’t blame her. He had made a terrible mistake, and it would haunt him for the rest of his life.
