Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe	comment	Prior to the days of DNA testing,note Blood group testing, a somewhat unreliable early form of paternity testing, was developed in the 1930s, while higher quality DNA paternity tests with accuracy rates over 99% have only been around since the late 1980s. it was basically impossible to verify a child's paternity. The only evidence: The word of the mother, who might be lying, or might not know herself (the subtrope Who's Your Daddy?). Stark differences or great similarities in skin, hair and eye colour (like a Chocolate Baby) or other forms of Uncanny Family Resemblance. All this trouble is embedded in such proverbs as, "It's a wise child who knows his own father," and "Mama's baby, Papa's maybe." This can be a source of tension and drama even when the mother is honest because neither the child nor the father can prove it. The Green-Eyed Monster is very prone to doubt. It can also complicate the Heir Club for Men, as the man usually wants his heir to be his biological descendant. If the mother refuses to tell, only men who have actually slept with her can even guess, and speculation tends to run wild. If she lies, the man has no way to prove his innocence unless he has an alibi that would preclude his having slept with her (an alibi that would have to cover at least a couple weeks, given uncertainty about exactly when conception occurred) — merely knowing he had not is not proof — and he may even be forced into a Shotgun Wedding. If the man believes himself to be sterile, and the Law of Inverse Fertility works, expect the resulting arguments to be ugly. Doubling up this is the fact that the legal rule is often Mater semper certa est, pater est, quem nuptiae demonstrant: "The mother is certain, and the father is him to whom marriage points." A man who suspects his wife's child is not his has no legal recourse; he is the legal father. However, this is usually a rebuttable presumption now (i.e. this can be proven otherwise with DNA evidence). A powerful force behind My Girl Is Not a Slut and Nature Adores a Virgin in Real Life, because exclusive sexual access to "his" woman used to be the only way for a man to be sure that her children were also his. To what extent there is reason to doubt in real life is not known; numerous urban legends claim a high percentage of babies are attributed to false fathers, but the location of the studies determining this tends to migrate a lot. Why Luke, I Might Be Your Father is a trope. Surprise Incest is frequently caused by it—and sometimes this trope is the escape route as well. Cheating with the Milkman is a frequent cause of this. A trope limited to historical settings (1980s or earlier) nowadays, as Daddy DNA Test is the Trope Breaker. (Unless the potential father is one of a pair of identical twins or clones, or testing is impossible for some reason.) Compare Not Actually His Child. Examples

Nellie's mother claims her father was an Aboriginal man known as "King Henry", but some other members of the tribe say they doubt it. It's never established who Nellie's father was, but it can be assumed that it wasn't King Henry because the author pairs her romantically with a man who turns out to be one of King Henry's sons.

From what is narrated of their miserable bedtime experiences, they are most likely not having sex and if they are, then it is not very often. Therefore, there is the chance that Ona got pregnant from her visits with Connor. However, Jurgis never makes any comment on the paternity of the child.

Carlton adamantly claims the child is his while his parents desperately try to persuade him to get a paternity test to prove he's not, so he won't have to raise a family so soon in life, but it turns out he knew all along the child wasn't his because he never had sex with anyone. It seems he just couldn't bear the thought of her having slept with someone other than him since he'd never truly let her go, nor could he entertain the idea of exonerating himself by admitting he was a virgin. For her part, Cindy only sought him out after having her baby because her parents kicked her out for doing so; they only intervene and take her back when she tells them she's going to marry Carlton at a rapid-service chapel.

It's clearly meant to be a joke, though. (His wife may actually be standing right there as he says it, though she's a ghost character.) However, men's fear of being cuckolded is played rather seriously as a theme throughout the play. Also, right after this line, Benedick asks if Leonato was in doubt when he asked his wife, and Leonato responds with "Signior Benedick, no, for you were but a child then."

The player gets the choice on how to react to this, but unusually for this series, Makoto is perfectly justified in reacting badly, because the timing of the situation makes it very likely that Sekai's baby was actually fathered by Taisuke; he ends up telling Sekai that he'll only get back together with her if she has an abortion. Less unusually for this series, Sekai will respond by either murdering Makoto or murdering Kotonoha, depending on whether or not you brought up your suspicions about Taisuke being the father.

After a moment of weakness, Taub shreds the results without looking. Gregory House himself suspected that his legal father, a strict military man, wasn't his biological dad, telling him as much out of spite for the corporal punishments that were meted out to him during his childhood. A DNA test conducted after his father's death confirmed this. However, the family friend whom House suspected to have fathered him (and did have an affair with his mother) turns out to be genetically unrelated as well. He never considers testing his mother.

Since it's set in 1914, there are no reliable tests, and some characters (Svejk included) believe that a child can have multiple fathers. The funniest example is Svejk's story about a prostitute, who gave birth to non-identical twins with a rather unusual set of birthmarks, eye and hair colours and minor deformities. She sued 16 clients for child support (8 per son) but lost all suits. Svejk comments that she should've picked a single one and hired witnesses to confirm him frequently visiting her.

There were enough witnesses that everyone is fairly confident that the female lead, Melida, wasn't Switched at Birth, but they are far less confident that she is Duke Felgus's daughter since most people believe a Muggle Born of Mages to be impossible for a ducal house. It is widely agreed that it is far more likely that her wealthy but commoner mother had an affair with another commoner. Since Melida's mother, Melnoa, passed away some time ago, she is no longer available for anyone to ask, leaving Melida's family stuck investigating all of Melnoa's male friends and deciding whether or not to give up and kill Melida.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_2d165a50	comment	The female shogun Yoshimune from Ōoku: The Inner Chambers invokes this trope in pondering what a patriarchal Japan would look like. She thinks that matriarchy has a distinct advantage because of it. This may influence Yoshimune's later choices in how to handle her Royal Harem: she spends equal time each week with her primary male concubines, interspersed with one-night-stands with servants. Thus, when she becomes pregnant, none of them can argue when she names the most malleable candidate as the father.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Inverted in Gaiden sequel mini-series with Sasuke's daughter, Sarada. She greatly resembles her father plus glasses, but when she asks her mother Sakura (who doesn't wear glasses) if her father wore glasses too (he doesn't), she acts very evasively of the question. Sarada then questions her mother of even being married to her father; logically, Sakura doesn't take it very well and has a rage-fit, allowing Sarada to discover a picture of Karin (who does wear glasses) with her father. And then it turns out that Sakura is Sarada's biological mother; the supposed "evidence" saying that Karin was the girl's mom was actually badly-handled by Karin's friend Suigetsu since Karin was Sakura's midwife and some DNA of both women got mixed up. The evidence was actually Sarada's dried umbilical cord, which Sakura gave to Karin as a gift for delivering Sarada. Suigetsu mistakenly THOUGHT the umbilical cord came from Karin. The cord's DNA matched with Sarada's because it came from Sakura. Played for Laughs with Chocho Akimichi, who, like Sarada, believes that Choji isn't her father, despite inheriting his girth and jutsu, and being otherwise a perfect mixture of her parents. Both Naruto and Sarada are understandably confused.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_30c1ffd0	comment	Stardew Valley: It's really heavily implied that Abigail is really the daughter of the Wizard who lives at the edge of town and not Pierre. Think about it: Pierre has very little common with her, the Wizard has a lot in common with her (and suspects he has an illegitimate daughter somewhere), and Caroline used to wander the area where the Wizard lives until Pierre stopped her from going there. Also comes up in the unofficial expansion mod Stardew Valley Expanded if you have mature events enabled. A questline here outright confirms that Abigail is the Wizard's biological daughter, conceived during a period when Pierre and Caroline were having relationship problems. The timing was such that Caroline was never sure who Abigail's father was, until Abigail starts displaying some of the Wizard's abilities and affinities with magic.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_455e3038	comment	In King of the Hill everybody knows that Dale's son, Joseph, is really John Redcorn's child — everyone except Dale and Joseph (and Peggy for an embarrassingly long time), that is. Eventually John Redcorn wants to reveal the truth to Joseph, but Nancy (the boy's mother) refuses to allow it based on the strong bond Joseph and Dale share. As she puts it "Joseph already has the only father he'll ever need". Indeed, Dale and Joseph even discover that Dale was out of town the night Joseph must have been conceived but convince themselves that she was simply abducted by aliens and impregnated with her husband's genetic seed (for some reason) that night. Another episode involved a former lover of John Redcorn's (a single mother with a darker-skinned daughter about Joseph's age) moving into the neighborhood and beginning to date resident loser, Bill. While Joseph and the daughter develop crushes on each other, Dale discovers via covert DNA testing that they are half-siblings. After convincing himself this means he is the father (via alien abduction and impregnation once again), he reveals the test and results to his wife, who confronts John Redcorn over this infidelity during their affair. Fortunately, Redcorn ends up taking some responsibility and the mother and daughter end up moving in with him, separating the girl and Joseph (without alerting them to their blood relation) before anything actually incestuous occurs.

As soon as she comes of age, she gets pregnant by a friend of hers, knowing that nobody will be able to tell.

It comes up again with her first child, Dodge. In what turned out to be the final episode, Earl learns that Joy has never told Dodge that Earl is not his biological father, prompting Earl to seek him out on Dodge's behalf. After discovering a likely candidate (a man whose wealth and connections could improve Dodge's life if they were to develop a relationship), Earl has Dodge's DNA tested and finds out that he himself is Dodge's biological father. He just didn't remember Joy, whom he had casual sex with at a costume party when she assumed he was the other man. Earl also finds out that Earl Jr. isn't really Darnell's, as was previously thought.

The concern there is less about who the parents are, and more about management of the Super Breeding Program.

Three days before their marriage and subsequent consummation, Francine cheated on him in a moment of cold-feet-fueled weakness at her bachelorette party largely caused and galvanized by the same hard-partying girlfriend who wrecks her daughter's kidneys twenty-some-odd years later. Unsure of Hayley's actual paternity, Stan demands a test while Francine insists on finding the other man just in case Stan isn't a match for Hayley's transplant, and along this adventure, Stan struggles with the idea that he's raised Hayley and devoted so much time and love to her and yet may not be her father. Eventually, Stan comes to realize that regardless of her paternity, Hayley is still his daughter, and when the results of her paternity test are presented to him he declines to read them. On multiple occasions throughout the episode, when asked by Francine if he can forgive her infidelity, Stan holds her tenderly in contemplative silence before calling her a slut and then remarking off-handedly in bewilderment on his body language, and the mixed signals it must be giving her.

The family resemblance, combined with the backstory Lazarus (going under the name "Ted Bronson" at that point) provides, leads his mother Maureen and her father Ira to conclude "Ted" is the illegitimate child of Ira's late brother. Later on, Maureen admits to Lazarus that her father thinks it a good deal more likely that "Ted" is Ira's own son. Lazarus also mentions that over his centuries of life, he's quite certain he raised children who were not his. He says that he was especially careful to be a loving father to such children. Later in the story, Lazarus is involved in a group marriage, where one of the rules sidesteps this: no matter how long you're involved, any babies born in the meantime means you stick around until they're grown. You may not be the father, or mother but you will raise the child.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_658b6bbd	comment	Alex in Saving Hope gets pregnant after sleeping with Charlie and Joel. She chooses to wait until after the baby is born to do a paternity test due to potential danger to the fetus if they tried to test in utero. In the season finale, while Alex is giving birth, Joel dies. Alex and Charlie then rekindle their relationship and raise the baby together, waiting almost a year to resolve the looming paternity issue. By that point, Charlie decides that he will keep loving their son regardless of genetics and they never get the test.

Steris's marriage contract with Wax stipulates that both of them can have affairs, but she won't have any illicit sex until they've produced an heir. Since Wax is the one who brought the noble title into the marriage, it's important that the heir is really his.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_67b085d3	comment	There is a recurring reference in The Priory of the Orange Tree to the rumor that the late Queen Rosarian had an affair with the privateer Gian Harlowe. It's hard to confirm whose daughter Sabran is because Berethnet queens take so strongly after their mothers as to leave no trace of paternal resemblance, and it doesn't affect her rule because Inys is a queendom, but it is there nonetheless. As the book progresses and more about Rosarian's life is revealed, the probability that Sabran is Harlowe's daughter becomes stronger, and he implies a fatherly concern over her late in the novel, but it is never confirmed outright.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_6c39a620	comment	Ascendance of a Bookworm: Inverted in Ferdinand's case. One of the few facts about his mother that the story has cared to deliver is an antagonist claiming that nobody is sure who his mother is, while his father is the deceased former head of household of a high-status family. There is also a chapter from Ferdiand's point of view that mentions that his mother couldn't be relied upon to protect him from his Wicked Stepmother (his father's wife) and another chapter from his cousin's point of view mentions she offered him no protection whatsoever. Things are further complicated by the fact that in the story's setting, it's perfectly normal for nobles to hide a child's existence from the public up to their seventh birthday and that guardianship shenanigans frequently happen during the first seven years of a child's life. It eventually turns out that Ferdinand know who his birth mother is, but the reason he's keeping the secret also makes it less certain that his official father is his biological one, playing the trope straight in the process.

While officially Abram is the son of her deceased husband, Ben Cooper (Victor of the Twenty-Ninth Hunger Games) had a drunken one-night stand with her around the time of Abram's conception, meaning there's a possibility Abram is his biological son, even though they look nothing alike. Ultimately, this possibility is enough for Ben to come out of retirement and mentor Abram for his Games.

The Skull Knight confirms that Guts is the father saying that Casca was impregnated by him roughly a month before the Eclipse. However, the baby was nonetheless tainted and deformed due to the rape.

The truth does eventually come out, though: the Ori impregnated Vala with the Orici, who is basically the in-universe version of the Antichrist. Vala's husband initially thinks the child is his until one of the Priors (basically, the Ori's prophets) tells him that he's sterile. He then thinks Vala cheated on him for a short time before it's officially revealed that the child is "the will of the Ori."

While he greatly resembled his mother May, he didn't much look like his father Cid. The fact that he was born with wings combined with his mother's reputation as a "loose" woman led to the neighbors talking. Many years later, the truth comes out: His mother was entirely faithful, but his father was actually a Cubi shapeshifter named Aniz who killed the real Cid and has been impersonating him all these years. Abel's resemblance to only his mother is the result of Cubi's tendencies to take after their non-Cubi parents.

This surprisingly doesn't cause any problems for Zuko, since Ozai was such a bastard and Iroh such a beloved hero. Most of the Fire Nation (and certainly the rest of the world) pretty much just shrugs and says "that makes sense, good thing we got Zuko instead of Azula." The fic is mostly vignettes of random people's opinion on this "fact," from minor soldiers to nobles to a bastard girl who is being bullied for her status. Iroh's own thoughts imply none of this is true, but he doesn't see a need to make an issue of it.

She greatly resembles her father plus glasses, but when she asks her mother Sakura (who doesn't wear glasses) if her father wore glasses too (he doesn't), she acts very evasively of the question. Sarada then questions her mother of even being married to her father; logically, Sakura doesn't take it very well and has a rage-fit, allowing Sarada to discover a picture of Karin (who does wear glasses) with her father. And then it turns out that Sakura is Sarada's biological mother; the supposed "evidence" saying that Karin was the girl's mom was actually badly-handled by Karin's friend Suigetsu since Karin was Sakura's midwife and some DNA of both women got mixed up. The evidence was actually Sarada's dried umbilical cord, which Sakura gave to Karin as a gift for delivering Sarada. Suigetsu mistakenly THOUGHT the umbilical cord came from Karin. The cord's DNA matched with Sarada's because it came from Sakura.

Because Kail's inline for the throne and having an heir would be beneficial to him, there is a lot of pressure for him to accept the child as his own... but Kail himself knows that it's impossible that he's the boy's father, because he and GÃ¼zel haven't seen each other for years. It turns out GÃ¼zel had been brainwashed by Kail's Wicked Stepmother Nakia into lying about her child's parentage. Upon being woken up, she readily admits that the father was a Wandering Minstrel and that the idea that Kail was the father was preposterous. Also, Nakia finds herself in such a situation later. As she loses power, people begin to gossip more and more openly about how they think her son Juda is actually Urhi's son with her; the fact that Juda and Urhi have exactly the same hair color and that Urhi is the person closest to Nakia really don't help matters. It turns out Juda really is the king's legitimate son: Urhi is a eunuch and was castrated quite a while before he even met Nakia.

This happens in another Genghis Khan biopic, Mongol—mainly because it happened in Real Life. The dubious parentage of Genghis's first son, Jochi, cost Jochi a shot at succeeding his father and played a significant part in the fracturing of the Mongol Empire.

BloodClan cats are matriarchal and don't keep track of fathers at all, with uncles filling the social role that fathers would in the Clans.

Since she was a past prostitute and there was a subplot at the time indicating that she might've been cheating on him (she wasn't), the first words out of his mouth were "Is it mine?", which upset her a great deal. He ended up apologizing, she ended up forgiving him, and the baby ended up being his, leading to the boy becoming a hero years down the line.

Lori shuts him down, and he dies before Judith is born, so it hasn't really come up since; even the few people left who knew Shane don't question that Judith's Rick's daughter. In season 7, Rick says that he thinks that Judith is Shane's daughter but it does not change how he feels about her. Daryl jokes (out of Rick's earshot)that Judith is Shane's; the reactions of the others show they at least entertain the possibility.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_8d8100ab	comment	Lost: Jin's father admits that he's not sure if Jin is actually his biological son as Jin's mother was a prostitute with a lot of clients. When she left baby Jin with him Mr. Kwon decided to take care of the boy anyway because he didn't know if anyone else would. The show also does an interesting spin on this. When it is discovered Sun is pregnant, she cannot be sure who the father is, her husband Jin, or another man she was having an affair with back in Korea. Who the father of the baby is matters, because women who were impregnated on the island die in childbirth, while those impregnated off the island survive. This creates a dilemma for her, as if the baby is her husband's (who impregnated her on the island) he will never find out about the affair, but she will most likely die, Whereas if the baby is the other man's, Jin would know of her infidelity but Sun would survive the childbirth. The baby turns out to be Jin's, but luckily Sun makes it off the island before the delivery.

When Breena is pregnant with her youngest child, the ultrasound photos strongly indicate that the baby more closely resembles Tim than Jimmy. After the initial discovery, the trope is largely averted since, as far as the McPalmers are concerned, any child born into their family (including those born before the four of them hooked up) belongs to all of them and Jimmy and Abby feel zero jealousy at the thought of Breena carrying Tim's baby.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_8d84363c	comment	Rome Antonia's paternity is unknown. Agrippa asks Octavia whether he or Antony is the biological father, though how he expected her to be able to answer that isn't expounded on. Toddler Antonia's very brief appearances give no clues. She's blonde, which could imply Agrippa is the father; however, her maternal uncle, Octavian, is also blond, and many white children do have blond/e hair that becomes much darker over the years. Historically, Antonia's paternity was never debated. Cleopatra takes advantage of this trope. Wanting to have a child with Julius Caesar, but not having met him yet at a time when she's biologically most likely to have a child, she seduces a lusty Roman soldier. Lucius Vorenus finds out that his daughter's supposed child is actually his wife Niobe's, causing her to commit suicide.

Mickey Milkovich was forced by his father Terry to have sex with a prostitute named Svetlana in order to "fuck the queer" out of him. It didn't work and Svetlana became pregnant. However, because of her job, it is not clear that Mickey is actually the father. But being dirt poor, a DNA test is not as readily available an option as it would be for more affluent characters. Also, Svetlana has not given up on "curing" Mickey, since she was able to use the pregnancy to force him to marry her with the full support of Terry and she probably would not cooperate with any attempt to disprove Mickey's paternity.

It should be noted in this last instance, Ned Stark did know who Jon's real parents were, but chose not to reveal this information to protect Jon from his friend Robert Baratheon, Lyanna's spurned fiancÃ© and Rhaegar's Arch-Nemesis, who would certainly have wanted any child of theirs dead.

They were later retconned as artificial constructs by an insane AI of Harry Osborn warped by Mephisto.

Given that she's been trying to have children with Batiatus for years with no success, this may be right and he's infertile. We never learn with certainty though. If she'd given birth, it might have been clear (as the child, if Crixus', might have dark skin too), but that doesn't happen.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_ba951c25	comment	Enforced by law in the political fantasy A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland. Only the parent who gave birth has an automatic claim on the baby; the parent who sired the child, even if everybody agrees who they are, has no rights without an explicit legal agreement, usually a marriage. Female rulers never get married for exactly this reason, and often don't say who the fathers of their heirs are because it doesn't matter. The sultan (who is a woman) complains that she should have taken that route instead of acknowledging the biological father of her child, a foreign ambassador, because he doesn't seem to understand that "body-father" (what he is) and "law-father" (what he's definitely not) are different things and it's really getting on her nerves.

Unlike the source material (where the dubious paternity is unproven), it's made painfully clear that the three are not Laenor's children; Laenor is gay, while Rhaenyra is having an affair with Ser Harwin Strong, which Laenor not only knows but wholeheartedly approves (hell, he even lets him openly visit their quarters to see the boys). Everyone else in the Red Keep know it too, but they have to accept the paternity or risk having their tongues cut by King Viserys. Rhaenyra mentions that she did try something with Laenor, but their clashing desires meant that she had to seek someone else.

One can speculate that it wasn't practical in the time frame before Sophie's wedding or wasn't available in the setting of a remote Greek island. In any case, DNA testing is never even suggested as a solution to the plot. In the film version it is suggested near the end, but the characters decide not to do it because all three possible dads love Sophie and she loves all of them.

Eventually it's confirmed the biological father is actually the mailman... Not that Brakko cares, even when he knew from the start: Brakko Junior is his son, no matter what a paternity test says.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_eda7c9e0	comment	Downplayed in In the Bleak Midwinter (TheLoud); the wealthy Riddles, and especially their maid Fiona, are naturally a bit suspicious of a girl who comes to their home and presents a baby who she claims is Tom's. Since Hermione isn't trying to extort anything from them, however, just giving them the entirely voluntary option of raising their son and grandson, they soon warm to her. It also helps that little Tommy shares his father's unusual eye colour.

The baby was born with red, black, and brown hair. Not exactly how genetics work, but when Chaos is involved...

Britt is initially angry, but eventually tells her he doesn't want to know the result of the paternity test because he wants to believe the child is his.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_f22d4818	comment	The Shadowhunter Chronicles: There are some hints that Isabelle Lightwood is not truly Robert's daughter with Maryse, although it is unknown which of the two had an affair for the conception to be possible. Isabelle has brown eyes, while her parents and siblings all have blue eyes. In real life, it is nigh-impossible for two blue-eyed parents to conceive a brown-eyed child. Robert did have an affair in the past, which was caught by Maryse and led to a strain in their marriage. Gold-haired Matthew Fairchild, the son of red-haired Henry Branwell and brown-haired Charlotte Fairchild, was taunted by Alastair Carstairs, who suggested that he was actually the product of an affair Charlotte had with the blond-haired Gideon Lightwood. He was insecure because his brother, Charles, had both Henry's red hair and Charlotte's leadership skills, while Matthew inherited none of those. One day, he was tricked to present a pregnant Charlotte a "Truth Serum" concocted by faeries, except the serum was a poison, which induced a reaction and caused her to miscarry. It's only then that Henry admitted that Matthew was really his son with Charlotte, and his gold hair was something he shared with Henry's great aunt, Matilda, from whom he got his name.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_f5535bcc	comment	Ladylord: The baby Sen-Ya is believed to be the long-desired son and heir of First Lord Yassai, but is not actually Yassai's son. Yassai is mostly impotent, and to get pregnant, the concubine who gave birth to Sen-Ya visited the dungeons as an anonymous lady of the court and had sex with one of the prisoners (as the guards seem to indicate ladies of the court not infrequently do). Yassai assumes that the second part of Sen-Ya's name is to honour him, but it's actually from the prisoner.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_f76b14b4	comment	The Quick and the Dead. This is the dramatic tension between Herod and The Kid. Herod's wife was unfaithful (it's suggested that Herod murdered her for this act), and so Herod implies that the Kid is not his son and therefore lacks his toughness. It gets to the stage that The Kid challenges his father to a Duel to the Death to force him to acknowledge his skill. Herod ruthlessly guns The Kid down, though he takes none of the sadistic pleasure he does from his other kills.

Initially, she is presented as William Walker's illegitimate daughter by his long-time mistress Holly Harper. Although the issue of getting a Daddy DNA Test was raised, especially by lawyer brother Kevin, this was largely treated as unreasonable and the family accepted her as William's daughter. Until Rebecca and her supposed half-brother Justin began having romantic feelings, at which point she got tested and it was confirmed that she was actually the daughter of Holly's other boyfriend David.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_fc281dbc	comment	The Sunne in Splendour: There are two instances of this in the historical novel, both based on rumors that circulated at the time. The first is a rumor that circulates that Edward IV is the product of his mother's affair with an archer. In the book, very few people take this seriously but George brings it up as part of his campaign for the throne. Richard is particularly offended that his brother would brand their mother an adulteress in the name of ambition and jealously. Most people, including some Lancastrians it is implied, don't believe for a second that Edouard of Lancaster is the son of Henry VI, but since the paternal suspects are all also descended from Edward III, they say nothing. The Yorkists know they can't prove anything, but they also certainly don't believe the childlike Henry VI fathered him. The book takes this far more seriously than the rumor about Edward IV.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe / int_fccc35cc	comment	Crusader Kings II: The "Way of Life" DLC has the Seduction focus, which is exactly what it sounds like. There's also an event chain where your character thinks that he might not be the father of his pregnant wife's child, and can hire spies to try and catch her at adultery. Be prepared to have your character suspicious of every pregnancy if you have the Paranoid trait. This can also be Gender Flipped if you play as a female ruler: you can run around behind your king consort's back and sometimes fool him into thinking any "accidents" are his. Interestingly, if you suspect your wife and hire spies, both attempts to learn the truth may come back with a false negative that your wife was faithful. However, the child's "graphical culture" can help you identify a hidden bastard child. Graphical culture is inherited by a random parent. If you and your wife are both Irish, but her most recent child is light blond boy, it might be time to start looking at your German courtiers (Graphic Cultures typically are typically shared among a cultural group, but all cultures have a much more limited pool of childhood portraits than adult portraits, creating a very easy expectation of what your child should look like given his married parental cultures.).
