Mark took the freshly printed paper document from Doctor Vance's outstretched hand.
He held the paper so both he and Sarah could read it together.
The green verified text on the new document was completely clear and unambiguous.
It showed a perfect biological match across every single tested genetic marker line.
Toby was beyond any doubt their true biological son in every possible way.
Mark: Look at this line right here, Sarah, perfectly matching hundred percent.
Sarah: Thank God above for this beautiful news today, my love.
Toby looked up at his parents with a big, bright, confident smile.
Toby: I told you everything was going to be completely okay, Mom.
Sarah pulled her young son onto her lap and hugged him very tightly.
She kissed his curly brown hair over and over again with pure joy.
Sarah: You were so brave and calm through this whole crazy day.
Doctor Vance: We are launching a full internal audit of our barcode system.
Mark: Make sure no other family has to endure this terrible panic.
Doctor Vance: I assure you this administrative flaw will be fixed immediately today.
Mark folded the corrected official medical paper carefully and placed it in his pocket.
The dark storm cloud of fear that hung over them was finally gone.
They stood up from the comfortable leather chairs to leave the administrative office.
Doctor Vance walked them to the door and shook Mark's hand very firmly.
Doctor Vance: Have a wonderful evening, and again, I am truly sorry.
They walked back down the long polished hallway of the bright medical building.
The sunlight streaming through the tall glass lobby windows felt warmer than before.
Sarah held her son's small hand tightly in hers as they walked outside.
The crisp afternoon air tasted fresh and clean as they crossed the parking garage.
They got back inside their silver family sedan with light, joyful hearts.
Mark started the car engine and turned around to look at his family.
Mark: How about we go get some delicious ice cream right now?
Toby: Yay! I want two big scoops of chocolate fudge, Dad!
