  • You're sitting at a restaurant,

  • and you can't help but overhear it.

  • Wow.

  • A young woman excited about her pregnancy.

  • It'll be a boy yeah

  • There's only one problem,

  • the boyfriend who think he's the father really isn't.

  • The baby's not John's.

  • Worse yet, the expected mom has no plans to tell her boyfriend the truth.

  • He thinks he's about to become a dad.

  • It's a boy. -Oh my God!

  • That's amazing.

  • hat would you do if you were a fly on this wall?

  • We bring our hidden cameras to the Cloverleaf Tavern in Caldwell, New Jersey.

  • Hi I'm Elisa and I'm playing the pregnant teen.

  • Her friend Emma is also an actress.

  • I'm playing the best friend of the pregnant girl.

  • I can't tell him... I just don't know what to do.

  • Hi I'm John.

  • The boyfriend of course, pretends he has no idea .

  • I have a surprise for you too.

  • What's that?

  • I'm gonna leave school.

  • Elisa opens up to her friend.

  • I thought about it and I have no other option.

  • John is the better option for the husband and I can't...

  • I can't tell him it's not his baby.

  • These women are clearly shocked but they try to carry on with their own conversation.

  • It's really hard, I don't know what to do.

  • Still nothing from the women at the next table,

  • so now Emma turns to them for some motherly advice.

  • Can I ask you guys something?

  • Sure!

  • You can ask me anything you like.

  • My friend is pregnant...

  • I see that.

  • and she told this boy that he's the father, um... but he's not.

  • Without skipping a beat, the women form a united front,

  • and offer some guidance.

  • You know what, you seriously need to start with the truth to the guy.

  • That's what I think.

  • After the baby is born, I would do another DNA test,

  • if that one comes out the same, then you have a decision to make.

  • So I shouldn't say anything to him?

  • Me personally, I would not until you have another test.

  • Okay I'll agree with that.

  • Time to tell them this dilemma isn't real.

  • Hi ladies, I'm John Quiñones.

  • This is all part of the "What Will You Do"

  • They asked you for your advice, and you were very frank and motherly.

  • I... you know what, you just gotta be sure, and then you'll have to go with your feeling,

  • I mean...that's what I said, you know,

  • because we're talking about a lifetime.

  • But he's not the father!

  • Whether he's the father or not the father, the happiness is...

  • even this girl raises this baby as a single person, if that baby is happy and grows up in a good environment, that's what counts.

  • The legal system seems to agree,

  • causing controversy throughout the country, courts have ruled in favor of the child's best interest.

  • Often ordering child support from men even if they're not the biological fathers.

  • Fighting paternity fraud...

  • I am, a paternity fraud victim.

  • Back at the restaurant we bring in John, the unsuspecting father to be.

  • Now these sisters have already heard Eliza's confession.

  • Will they speak out in his defense?

  • Isn't that amazing?

  • He's gotten so big!

  • I know.

  • As Elisa plays out the facade, they continue to listen in.

  • I think you're gonna be such a fantastic father.

  • I have an idea, tell me what you think,

  • I think that we should name him John!

  • And when John pretends he's calling his parents to tell them he news, Jodie Poshmic just has to speak up.

  • You need to tell the real father.

  • Trust me.

  • Sorry... I'm sorry what did you say?

  • I'm sorry, I'm a mother. Nothing.

  • The only reason I have to say this, and then I'll leave you alone.

  • God forbid someday this baby is ill and something needs to be from the father.

  • If you don't say anything now, it's going to come out someday, somehow.

  • And then what?

  • He has no idea.

  • Don't worry, I would never say a word.

  • Jodie sympathizes with our actress, but will she keep the secret bottled up when John returns?

  • Hi!

  • What's going on?

  • Nothing.

  • Just chatting, kids...

  • We now send Eliza away, leaving John alone.

  • Still, no one says a word, until John tries to engage them.

  • Any advice for having a kid?

  • At this age?

  • yeah right.

  • Adoption.

  • Really? Adoption.

  • Jodie is torn, she wants to help but just how much is she willing to say.

  • Why do you think adoption?

  • Because you're young.

  • So far she's kept her promise, but then John raises doubts of his own.

  • You know I was so surprise that she told me it was my kid.

  • We'd broken up and she's like a week later just kinda had ...

  • she told me and I was like ... wow... it's fate, fate i guess, you know.

  • I guess we're just suppose to be together.

  • Jodie just won't take the bait, she continues to eat her meal,

  • and then offers one last bit of advice.

  • Be ready for sleepless nights.

  • Now Elisa is back. We asked John to step away.

  • Hey babe I'm gonna to to bathroom too.

  • Still uncertain about her decision.

  • Elisa has a question .

  • Do you think I should tell him before the pregnancy or?

  • And Jodie goes back to what she said at the very beginning.

  • I think he deserves to know the truth.

  • I think it will bite you if you don't.

  • Time for us to finally come clean.

  • Hi guys, I'm...

  • Oh my God.

  • We were wondering what advice you would give them.

  • I said she had to tell him.

  • And then he was suspicious, but you wouldn't tell him.

  • How can I... how can I, I don't know him and she asked me not to.

  • Did you feel sorry for the guy?

  • I did, and I knew eventually, if this was a true story, it would really come out.

  • It was one of our most personal dilemmas ever, and maybe because of that, during an entire day of filming, no one would confront this young man with the truth.

  • In the end they seem to say it's all up to his pregnant girlfriend.

  • You're advice was tell him.

  • Yes, absolutely. Tell him for the baby absolutely.

You're sitting at a restaurant,
