The Truth.
Roneth stood outside the hospital room, watching Daniel sit by Ethan's bedside. Ethan was still unconscious from the blood transfusion, but he was breathing steadily.
Roneth felt a wave of relief wash over her. Ethan was going to be okay. But she knew that there were still many unanswered questions.
Who was Ethan's father?
Roneth had been thinking about these questions for a long time. She had never told Daniel the truth, but she knew that now was the time.
She took a deep breath and walked into the hospital room.
"Daniel," she said. "I need to talk to you."
Daniel looked up at her. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's about Ethan," Roneth said. "I had a DNA test done while he was in the hospital."
Daniel's eyes widened. "What did it say?" he asked.
Roneth hesitated. "It said that you're Ethan's father," she said.
Daniel was stunned. He didn't know what to say.
"I know you're probably shocked," Roneth said. "But it's the truth."
Daniel stood up and walked over to Roneth. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
"Roneth," he said. "I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault," Roneth said. "You didn't know."
Daniel shook his head. "I should have been there for you," he said. "I should have been there for Ethan."
"You're here now," Roneth said. "That's all that matters."
Daniel and Roneth hugged each other tightly. They both felt a sense of closure. Finally, they knew the truth about Ethan's father.
Daniel sat down by Ethan's bedside again. He took Ethan's hand in his and smiled.
"I'm your dad," he whispered. "And I love you."
Ethan's eyes fluttered open. He looked up at Daniel and smiled.
"Daddy," he said.
Daniel's heart melted. He hugged Ethan tightly.
"I'm here, son," he said. "I'm not going anywhere."
Daniel and Ethan stayed in the hospital for a few more days, but they were eventually discharged. Daniel and Roneth decided to move in together so that they could raise Ethan together.
Daniel was a wonderful father to Ethan. He was everything that Ethan had never had in a father. He was loving, supportive, and always there for his son.
Roneth was so grateful to have Daniel in her life. She knew that he was the best thing that had ever happened to her and to Ethan.
Ethan was finally happy. He had a loving family, and he knew that he would always be loved and cared for.
Jane was happy for Roneth and Daniel at first. She was glad that Ethan had finally found a father who loved him. But as time went on, Jane started to feel jealous.
She had always had feelings for Daniel. She knew that he was in love with Roneth, and she didn't want to come between them.
But now, seeing Daniel and Ethan so happy together, Jane couldn't help but feel envious. She felt like she was missing out on something special.
One day, Jane was over Roneth's house, watching Ethan play. Daniel was at work, so it was just the three of them.
Jane was sitting on the couch, watching Ethan play with his toys. Roneth was in the kitchen, making dinner.
Suddenly, Ethan came over to Jane and gave her a hug.
"I love you, Jane," he said.
Jane smiled. "I love you too, Ethan," she said.
But as she hugged Ethan, Jane felt a pang of jealousy. She wished that it were her hugging Daniel, not Ethan.
Jane knew that she had to do something about her feelings. She couldn't keep living like this.
She decided to talk to Roneth.
"Roneth," she said. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Roneth looked up from the stove. "Sure," she said. "What's wrong?"
Jane took a deep breath. "I'm jealous of you," she said.
Roneth was surprised. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"I'm jealous of you and Daniel," Jane said. "I wish that I had what you have."
Roneth smiled. "Thank you, Jane," she said. "That means a lot."
"But I'm also jealous of you and Ethan," Jane said. "I wish that I was his mother."
Roneth's smile faded. "Jane," she said. "I know that you have feelings for Daniel, but he's in love with me. And I love him."
"I know," Jane said. "I just can't help but feel jealous."
Roneth put a hand on Jane's shoulder. "Jane," she said. "You're a wonderful person. You deserve to be with someone who loves you and who will make you happy. Daniel isn't that person."
Jane nodded. "I know," she said. "I just need some time to accept it."
Roneth hugged Jane. "I'm here for you," she said.
Jane and Roneth talked for a long time that day.
Roneth and Daniel's relationship continued to grow stronger. They were both madly in love with each other, and they knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.
One day, Daniel took Roneth to a park where they had had their first picnic together. He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.
"Roneth," he said. "Will you marry me?"
Roneth's eyes filled with tears of joy. "Yes," she said. "Of course I will."
Daniel slipped the ring on Roneth's finger, and they kissed. They were both so happy.
Roneth and Daniel started planning their wedding. They wanted a small, intimate ceremony with their closest friends and family.
On the day of their wedding, Roneth and Daniel were both filled with excitement and nervousness. They couldn't wait to finally start their lives together as husband and wife.
Roneth walked down the aisle in a beautiful white dress. Daniel's eyes filled with tears when he saw her. She looked so beautiful.
They exchanged vows and promised to love and cherish each other forever.
After the ceremony, Roneth and Daniel danced the night away with their loved ones. It was the happiest night of their lives.
Roneth and Daniel's marriage was everything they had ever dreamed of. They were best friends and lovers. They supported each other through thick and thin.
Ethan was so happy for his mom and Daniel. He knew that they were perfect for each other.
Roneth and Daniel were finally the family that they had always wanted. They were surrounded by love and happiness.
