Good morning. I have so many things going through my mind right now I'm not even sure how to ask my questions or even what is important to ask. Please, bare with me.
Background:
I'm out in Twentynine Palms right now attending the Communications Electronics School. I was home for Recruiting Assistance back on November 1st. When I was home, I had a "romantic encounter" with this girl I have only been acquaintances with for years. She ended up getting back with her ex boyfriend and pregnant after I left (or so I thought). I'm home on holiday leave now and just this morning got some news that her ultrasound from 3 days ago puts the date of conception on the day following when we were together.
Now, I'm not sure what I should do first (besides explain this situation to my command ASAP). I'm 29 years old and I love the idea of having a kid. As far as the girl, I really don't know how I feel about her. I'm not going to be quick to just marry some girl I really don't know. I understand that having sex with her was my first mistake in that regard. I don't know if there's any other tests we can do to make sure that it is in fact my baby besides go on Maury and have a DNA test. I'm back to California tomorrow and she will be here near my family in Massachusetts. I don't know if she is going to be with her boyfriend any longer. I don't know how I can help my baby have the best care. I had already requested duty in Okinawa as well and it might be too late to change that. I'm supposed to be done with training in April.
I'm sorry for the long post and random thoughts but I'm kinda just trying to get everything out before I forget. As much as my friends can provide me advice on this, I'm sure one of my Marine brothers could give a much greater understanding of the situation I'm in.
