Avery scowled when Nick spoke about Ruby’s pregnancy. "Nick, do you know whose child she is pregnant with? Is it Elliot's?"
"How would I know? It's not like I set up cameras around their bed!" Nick walked outside and said, "Why don't you just ask Elliot that when you see him?"
"He told me that Ruby had gone to the sperm bank and made her choice there."
"So why are you still asking if the baby is Elliot's?"
"Ruby told us that the baby is Elliot's when she had taken his call, and she did not sound like she was lying. My daughter was so angry that she burst into tears." Avery followed Nick into the car.
Nick did not think much of it. "Once she gives birth, we will know if it's Elliot's."
"I don't think that Elliot would lie to me, but I also don't see the point of Ruby creating such a poor lie. We won't even need her to give birth to find out who the father is," Avery said and Nick froze.
"How soon can we check?"
"Amniocentesis can be performed when the mother is three months pregnant."
"Oh. I think Ruby's baby is almost that old."
Avery did not respond. If Ruby dared suggest that her baby was Elliot's, Elliot would definitely run a DNA test on the child. The biggest issue at hand was how severe Elliot's injury was.
For a while, Nick drove in silence. "I will enter the hospital alone. If I see Elliot, then there is no need for you to enter the hospital.”
"But I want to see him.”
"I thought you only wanted to check on him? Seeing him will do nothing but anger Ruby. If he is conscious, I will tell him that you are here. If he is unconscious, then there is no need for you to enter.”
