I have a first cousin this almost happened to. His wife played around on him.
At the birth of their third child it became obvious she had some 'splainin' to do. She delivered a mixed race baby.
They promptly offered the baby for adoption and told the family the baby died at birth. The story held up for about 2 days.
They are still together today 20 years later...go figure.

LOL. There was an old SNL skit that was pretty funny. Went something like this.
Man on his deathbed, surrounded by his wife and 6 children. One of the children is really goofy looking..
Man. "Dear, I just have to ask you. I've never thought (goofy child) was really my son".
Wife. "You want the truth"?
Man. "Yes".
Wife. "He is, the rest of em ain't".
