When Elena’s due date arrived, she said to her husband Marcus that she doesn’t want him in the delivery room. She insisted, despite how much Marcus wanted to be in there.
When the due day arrived, and Marcus was finally a father, he was waiting outside of the delivery room. Then the doctor stepped out with a weird look on his face. He thought something was wrong.
When he was let in, Marcus was shocked. His wife was holding a baby white as a snow. Marcus was a black man, and his wife Elena was a black woman.
Marcus’ eyes were filled with rage. When El saw that, she tried to talk, “Marcus, I can explain—”
Marcus cut her words. He yelled at her. “Don’t lie to me, Elena! I’m not an idiot. That is not our baby!”
El pleaded, begged Marcus to look at their baby. Then he saw it. The small birth mark on his feet which Marcus had the same. It was a small crescent.
“I don’t understand,” he said. He was petrified. Then El revealed something which she should have years ago.
She stated that she had albinism. She learned that when she undergone a genetic testing, and learned that before she married Marcus. Since the percentage was too small, she didn’t think it would be necessary to tell Marcus.
“I was scared, and then as time passed, it seemed less and less important. I never imagined this would actually happen.”
Marcus was calm now. He always wanted a daughter, and now she had her. He took a big breath, and exhaled. “We’ll figure this out, together.”
