Had A Child Not My Husband's

My husband and I have a lot in common and we knew we wanted to build a life together. One of those things we have in common is we're not monogamous types. Not before we married or after. We were both as discreet as possible. Neither of us were poly in the sense that we wanted other people in our domestic lives.

We wanted a child, and I put the extracurricular fun on hold until I conceived. We adored our daughter, but we both decided our family was complete. I was scheduled to get a tubal, but my husband got very sick from covid even though the pandemic was on the wane. It took him 8 weeks to recover. I took care of him and of course I still had our daughter to care for. I got stressed and had a quickie with an old FWB one afternoon. My perscription for birth control had run out, but I used a condom which failed. I was nervous, but I thought, what are the chances? Then I missed my next period.

I was going to terminate, but I kept putting it off. I guess the pregnancy hormones started working on me. Although I wasn't showing much visually yet, one night after my husband fully recovered, we were making love when he felt a slight hardness under my usually flat tummy. My husband is not st*pid. He figured it all out before I had a chance to fully explain. He was mad and I broke down in tears, and he didn't speak to me the rest of the night. The next day, however, he sat me down and said this could have happened to either of us. He could have got a girl pregnant and part of our salaries would go to child support. He said he'd raise the baby as his own. We had another adorable daughter, and he's been as devoted to her as he is toward his biological daughter.

We haven't told my FWB he's the bio father. I know that's not right, but it's just so easy to go on as if I conceived by my husband. We've told no one the truth.
