'The email sent to Jack Goodchild this summer was short and to the point. Jack recalls: ‘Basically, it said: “I’m pregnant, it’s yours — but don’t worry, you won’t be having any involvement and we won’t be seeing each other any more.”
It had been written by Tess, his on-off girlfriend of several months. And now it was all over. Having learned she was expecting his child, Tess apparently wanted nothing more to do with the father.
Moreover, the 41-year-old London businessman soon learned that this seemed to have been his lover’s plan all along. ‘I telephoned her straight away, as anyone would after receiving an email like that, to find out what was going on,’ he says.
‘I thought maybe there was some misunderstanding; that because we hadn’t talked about anything serious like starting a family, she assumed I wouldn’t be interested in the baby.
‘Instead, she said she had wanted to get pregnant, that she had “stolen” my sperm, and now she no longer wanted to be in touch. She was incredibly matter-of-fact about it; clinical even.’
As far as he knows, Jack’s baby is due some time in early spring, although Tess has made it clear she won’t be getting in touch to let him know when the day has arrived.'
