Sarah Brown had always dreaded the day she was going to tell her son the truth about his biological father. She had always told her self to wait for the right time to do so but no time seemed right, not even now that she was on her sick bed with her son by her side after being diagnosed with lung cancer. The doctor had said there was nothing more that could be done and she most likely wouldn't make it through the night.

Sarah placed her hand on top of her son's and gave it a gentle squeeze, as if reassuring him that everything would be okay.

“There's something you should know.” Sarah said and tried sitting up. “It's about your father.”

“What about him?”

“Your father wasn't exactly who I said he was. He wasn't the nice and caring man I had made you to believe.” She said while coughing at the same time.

Her son quickly gave her a piece of cloth to use clean the blood from her mouth. “You should stop talking mom, you need to rest.”

“No, I need to do this, you need to know who your real father is.” She said and coughed some more.

“I was sixteen years old when I got pregnant. It was a huge disgrace. My mom left because she couldn't bear the shame after she found out about the pregnancy and who was responsible. My father had ordered me to abort it but I refused, I wasn't going to let an innocent child suffer for what he knew nothing of. Then one night my dad slipped some drugs into my meal without my knowledge. That night, I had thought I would die due to the amount of blood I lost but somehow I had survived and when father had asked about the baby in my womb, the doctor said it was a miracle that you had survived too. I don't know if that was what convinced my father but he agreed to let me keep the baby after that incident.”

“What about my father, where was he when all of this was happening?”

“He was there. You see son, that is what I've been trying to tell you.” Sarah closed her eyes for a second before opening it back up. “My father, your grandfather is your father. He was responsible for my pregnancy.”

She felt him pull back his hands from hers immediately those words left her mouth.

“What? Please tell me this is a joke. My grandfather is my biological father?”

Sarah tried to hold his hands again but he withdrew himself. “I've always wanted to tell you son, I just was waiting for the perfect time.”

“The perfect time?? Like there was a perfect time to tell someone something like that.” her son said before walking out of the room. Sarah kept telling herself that telling him the truth was the best thing she could have done. He needed to know.

Then she closed her eyes and felt this strange inner peace within her. She could feel it in her bones, It was time.
