So who the hell was the father of her baby?!!
The fat cop?
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
Yes

Did you watch the movie? You really didn't understand that?

Yes I did, unfortunately.
All I heard in reference to the baby was her saying something along the lines to the fat cop "I appreciate you being there for me, looking out for me. And you'll be involved with the baby all I can."
So I wasn't sure if he was the dad for certain, or just a wannabe stand-in guy that was helping her out.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
I had figured it was the cop, but since they didn't even go on their first date 'til the night that Daniel returned, I didn't know if it was the cop's baby or not. That was confusing to me.

No, the giant cricket that lived in the tunnel was the baby daddy.

Just watching the movie now and had the same question. I missed the first five minutes of the movie so thought maybe they mentioned it then. She did say to the cop in the car that he would be involved with the baby so that made me think it was his but they were just going to go out on their first date the night the husband came home so confusing.
shareYou don't have to be dating to *beep*.
shareShe said they'd finally go on 'a proper date' so he was obviously riding her whilst he was investigating. A little unprofessional maybe...
shareThat's exactly what I surmised. They had been a secret couple for awhile, just waiting for the seven years to be up. Once her husband was declared dead, they could go 'public' with their love. Trish was secretive to Callie about the baby daddy.
shareTrue but why lie though? It's not like it's 1955 anymore. People don't care.
shareShe was still technically married when the met... Probably had to keep their affair under wras until the 7 years was up to have him declared dead in absentia. But definitely that was the cop's baby.. And their date was "proper" now that she was a widow.
shareYes, and they could not possibly have made it any more obvious.

it seemed a lot more obvious, to me, when he leaves the house and asks trish if she's alright, and she replies yes, WE'RE alright. that, and the scene after the first break in when the cop comes onto her a lot harder about moving out of the house. i think those scenes kinda gave it away that he was the father
