*Zac*
"They were so big, almost like real dragons". Holly sigh, with big excited eyes, making Tom chuckle softly and kiss her nose.

I smile to myself, she is such a sweet and a bit innocent girl and Tom is clearly totally lost in her.

"Zac ! Can I have a word.. alone ?" Suddenly Mariana is standing there in front of us, looking at me and ignoring the others.

"No Maria, you and I have nothing to discus, and especially not in private". I hiss at her, feeling Zoe tighten her grip on my hand.

Mariana steps closer, one hand on her stomach. "Well, yes we do. We need to talk about the baby and how you are going to pay for what it needs".

"I think I have paid you more than enough". I say, trying to stay calm. "When the baby is born, I will of course pay what is required".

"Wait a second". Zoe step forward. "Zac wants a paternity test before you get as much as one dollar. As far as we know there is at least one other possible father".

Ben steps forward. "Actually I would very much like a test too. As much as I like Zac, I wouldn't want him raising and paing to my child".

Mariana suddenly doesn't look so confident. "But.. a test can't be done before the baby is born and I need money for doctor appointments and getting a nursers ready".

"Actually there are new non invasive tests that can be done from the 8 week of pregnancy. It just takes a blood sample from the mother and a swab test from the presumed father". Tom say.

"Se.. well do that then". Ben say, then he glance at Tom. "Do I want to know how you know that ?"

Tom roll his eyes. "No I haven't been in trouble Ben, I happened to read about it in an article on the plane over before this cruise".

"But what about me ? That is two weeks from now ? What do I do in the meantime ?" Mariana looks from one to the other.

"Well you could do your job.. I mean you actual job you are paid to do, not your little side business of bedding men to get their money". Zoe is glaring at her as she say it.

I quickly put my arm around her waist, pulling her into my side. "Zoe is right, even if she say it in a less friendly manner. We should all go on with our lives the next two weeks. And I make arrangements for the test".

Mariana huff with indignation, glaring at Zoe, then at anyone else, before stomping off, making me breathe a sigh of relief.

"That one really is .. a fucking bitch". We all turn to stare in shock at Tom, not so much from his words, as he is completely right, but from hearing Tom speak about someone like that. He bite his lip. "Sorry, but she is".

"I am not disagreeing.. at all. I am just very much surprised to hear you talk like that about someone". I say with a chuckle.

He just shrug. The he looks from me to Ben and back again. "So.. you think one of you is actually the father ?"

Ben shrugs. "I mean, it's possible. I know I really messed up not protecting myself from this happening".

I nod. "I actually don't remember, but I guess I was too fucked up to think about protection. But who know how many other men she has slept with ?"

"So what will you do if you are the father ?" Zoe look at me.

"Do what is needed, I mean it's not the kids fault that I fucked up or that it has such a mother. I would try to be the best father possible under the given circumstances".

She smile at me. "You are going to be a wonderful father love, no matter if it happens now or Maybe first later".

"Well I guess you are a better man than me". Ben say shaking his head. "I could not work with that.. with her. I would do my damndest best to make her give up the claim on the kid and let me raise it".

"But what then when the kid starts asking about his or hers mother ?" It is Camille asking.

Ben shrugs. "I haven't thought that far to be honest. The truth I guess".

"So you are going to tell a four year old that you didn't like mommy and therefore paid her to disappear or whatever you plan to do ? I don't think it's the right thing to do Ben". Camille is shaking her head slightly.

"Sorry.. as I said, I am not as understanding and nice as Zac". Ben glances my way.

"Well Maybe we should wait and see what the result say, before trying to figure out how to handle it". I jump in. The tension building is starting to make my head hurt.

Zoe takes my hand. "Yeah, what do you say we go to your room, order some room service and just relax the rest of the day ?"

"Sounds perfect baby". I say lacing our fingers. "See you tomorrow guys".

"Remember to be vigilant, we want no more unexpected babies". Tom call out grinning.

I turn and stick my tongue out at him. "I am pretty sure you should be the last to .. comment on that".

Holly blushes scarlet and Zoe drags of with me, both of them looking slightly annoyed with us.
