Mom2Be,
Given your due date(s), there is no way your best friend could have been the father. You'd be further along if this was the case.
As for why you are having thoughts that someone else could be the father, remember that your hormones are fluctuating widely, which can account for these types of feelings, even though you know didn't cheat on your boyfriend then.
Best,
Catherine
