Joe was really surprised. “Are you sure that’s my baby?” Brittany looked really sure. Joe was trying to feel less surprised but he couldn’t. “Are you sure it’s not Brad’s baby?”
“But the baby doesn’t look anything like Brad,” Brittany said. Joe was really not surprised. Brittany always lied. Brad looks way more like the baby, he thought. And they were both wearing dog staches! Joe wondered if Brittany was taking crazy medicine because she was acting so crazy.
Joe looked surprised, but he wasn’t. “But,” he said, “I don’t look anything like the baby!”
Joe hadn’t seen the resemblance before, but being held by the baby, he was so surprised. “I think you’re right,” Joe said. And he started weeping openly and the baby was crying too. All the people in the casino were so surprised and they were weeping openly too. And his clone was still there and he wanted to hold the baby.
But then everybody realized the most surprising thing and their mouths fell open like hungry elephants. “Joe,” Joe said. “I think you’re the father of Brittany’s baby.” Joe was right. They were both wearing dog staches. It was so obvious. Brittany was kind of upset, because Joe’s clone didn’t have as much money to raise the child. The baby could never go to private school. But she was convinced. Joe’s clone was the baby’s father. Once everybody accepted it, they were all pretty happy.
But the mean man and the Giraffetasaur had been watching from a distance.
“Everybody is pretty happy now,” the man whispered to the Giraffetasaur. “But not for long.”
The Giraffetasaur already knew the man’s plan because they were usually on the same page. “Joe is going to be so surprised when he finds out what we have in store for him…”
