Background I met this girl when we both loved in a major city in a progressive state. She was a pretty (5 ft 7 ~120 lb, c cup, blue eyes) strawberry blonde girl from the exurbs of a major city in the south, with a hint of an accent and a degree from an SEC school.

She was always very outgoing and fell in with my broader friend group. She was sweet and always played up her femininity and sweetness and good girl rules and such...but she was also pretty promiscuous - she and I slept together 3 or 4 times, and I think over the 2-3 years she was around she hooked up at least once with all the guys i the group who were 6 ft or taller who were single (say 7 guys from this circle).

She moved back to the city she grew up near in 2019 for a job (I honestly don't remember what she does) and to be closer to family but she's one of those people who posts her whole life to facebook and IG too.

And that's where our story begins, in I want to say early May, 2021 she posted something - since deleted - saying "I really need to see if it's true what they say about black guys" or something to that effect. It really was something that brash and I remember thinking she got hacked. Someone commented on it hours later being like you ok and she confirmed it - and she left it up for at least weeks after.

And then I remember on Memorial day she posted a pic of her at her CrossFit gym and it was her and a black guy who also worked out there and it said something like "Murph Buddies!"(Murph is a workout crossfitters do on Memorial day).

After that there were a few other random pics with different black dudes - one from a Jazz Concert, one from a water park she went with some other friends too etc. And of course these weren't the only things she posted.

At some point in early fall 2021 I remember looking for the original post but she had deleted it.

On Halloween she posted a picture of her and two female friends all dressed in sexy outfits captioned "Single girls on the prowl" they all had cat themed outfits).

Then on Christmas day she posted....engagement pics. And one thing that struck me was the guy was maybe 2 inches taller than her tops. She had always been one of those girls who really cared about guys height so I thought that was funny.

I also suspected this might be less romantic based than it looked - she came from a conservative family where both a pregnancy out of wedlock was shameful and abortion was unthinkable (and I recalled her saying she could never have one multiple times when I knew her). So given all that and the fact that she was single on Halloween and this guy wasn't really her type historically (not just his height but overall looks)

This was reinforced when she got married on Valentines day (yes, on a Monday - her defense to one of our mutual friends who had stayed closer to was that with the pandemic venues were booked like crazy, no idea why Valentines day was open but whatever). I actually looked for a baby bump but either she wasn't showing yet or the photographer was good.

Then it's honeymoon France and Italy, then in April she posted pics of herself visibly pregnant and announced it to everyone. I doubt I was the only one not surprised.

In May they bought a house, then on July 4th weekend she had a baby shower thanked everyone and said they couldn't wait to have the baby come at the end of August.

Then last Monday her husband posted that she had gone into labor early and they were off the hospital.

I remember liking the post and thinking I was looking forward to the cute baby pics since that's always a good dopamine hit. Friday after a stressful meeting I remember I never saw them, so I go to her timeline expecting to see a ton of pics.

Instead...nothing. Her husbands post was gone (and indeed, she was no longer listed as married), her pic was her pregnant at her baby shower instead of the wedding pic that had it had been a few days prior. Her wedding pics were all gone, as was the honeymoon and engagement pics.

I thought that was all very weird and I did wonder if this was connected to her curiosity for black men but thought that seemed too far fetched. I wanted to know but not like I could shoot her a message randomly,

Luckily at brunch on Sunday was a girl who I guess is still close with her, You might think a friend would be discreet, but this girl has the biggest mouth ever. She framed it up all sympathetically - this poor girl had the baby early and her husband left her in the same week! But when asked what happened she talked around it, something about the husband being convinced the baby didn't look like him.

After brunch while walking back to our cars I asked her discreetly "So...the baby was black right?"

She blushed and laughed awkwardly before saying "Uh no comment".

Also, the baby was like 8.5 lbs, so I don't think he was very premature...
