What Would You Do?

I apologize for not posting in a while. The last few weeks have been a lot. I finally contacted Aylas grandparents on her fathers side and they are AMAZING! We are so lucky that they are such kind and generous people. They instantly welcomed Ayla and I into their family and made it clear that I was as welcome as Ayla was. We talked at length and spent time getting to know each other before deciding how we wanted to proceed.
It turns out, Aylas father, Seth, never told his parents around Ayla so they were completely shocked when I contacted them. They were angry and hurt but also so excited to meet their granddaughter.
Everything has been so crazy since then and my stress level has been unreal... there have been a lot of tears and breaking out and breaking down from everyone involved.
Seth and his fiancé just had a bevy, Adella who is only a few weeks old. His parents knew things weren't going to be pretty when he told her the truth but we have all been praying for the best. About a week ago, his parents sat him down and confronted him, explaining that they knew about Ayla and that he needed to take a paternity test, because up until that moment, he refused anything I wanted. He finally took the test and it came back positive (which we knew it would). He was so blind sided by everything that we decided to give him a few days to process everything before having him tell his fiancé. That conversation happened last night and I still don't know how it went. His parents are fairly sure she is going to leave him, which I wouldn't blame her for.
So I guess my question is, would you? In her situation, would you leave your fiancé? She found out he had been lying to her since they met. He was hiding a child that he abandoned. She is also a mother of 3 and family is important to her. On top of everything, he has a lying problem and she has already had to kick him out a few times for lying to her. So what would you do if you found out he was hiding a baby he knew about since before you met him? Feel free to comment on here or on any of the social media I post on.

My name is Cierra Trayner, and I am mostly starting this blog for myself. I am 20 years old and have a little girl, Ayla James who is turning one on Monday, April 10. And while she is the light of my life, being a single mom is really hard. This post will be mainly talking about who I am and just a little about my situation. I was in my freshman year of college at Arizona State as a Chemical Engineering major when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't even know until i was 9 weeks (2 months), I thought I simply had a bad case of  the stomach flu. One of my closest friends, Sarah picked me up and was with me when I took the test. When it came up positive she told me about this group she was part of called Younglives ( a subdivision of Younglife for young mommas). She brought me to my first meeting and introduces me to other young moms and helped me a lot through a really hard time. I am not lying when I say that Younglives saved my daughters life. I am the mom I am today because of...

Dead Beat Dad

Yesterday was one of the hardest days I have had in a very long time. My heart was completely shattered by Ayla's father, Seth. For a few weeks now, he had made the choice to be in Ayla's life and pay child support and work together with me to raise Ayla so that she had both of her parents in her life. Everything seemed to be going well and we were kind and I even let him meet Ayla. It was only for an hour at a McDonald's, just so he could see her and he and I could have our first face to face interaction since I was 3-4 months pregnant. It was nerve wracking to see him and I had to rein in a lot of harbored anger I had towards him for abandoning us. I had decided that forgiveness was the best way to approach the situation, for Ayla's sake. This man is a runner, so I knew if I confronted him on his inappropriate behavior he would just walk away again. This entire time I have been kind and understanding, and I had made the choice to put the past behind us and try to ev...
