should I lie to the biological father to keep a happy home.

So I just gave birth to my newborn baby a month ago and recently confessed to my spouse whom I have a child with already that the newborn may not be his child. A while back we we're broken up and I hooked up with someone else which I think may be the biological father. I took a dna test with the guy I hooked up with and the baby since my spouse is in jail right now. My spouse is aware that I took the DNA test which he wasn't happy that I did that for the simple fact that he didn't want me to do the DNA he was going to just put it all in the past and claim the baby as his, but it was too late I already did the dna test. Now the results came back and my spouse is not the biological father the guy I hooked up with is, btw the guy wants to know if the child is his so that he can take responsibility. But my spouse wants me to keep the results to myself and to tell the guy the baby is not his and just have everyone believe that my spouse is the father regardless of what the results say, he has it in his head that the baby is his and he doesn't even want to know if the baby isn't his, he wants me to keep the information to myself. My problem is I don't think I can live with a big secret like that, yes it will make my life easier because our family and friends all think that's his child and I feel it would break his family heart to find out the baby really isn't his, but then again it doesn't feel right to lie to the biological father that the baby isn't his so that I can keep a happy home. I don't know what to do anyone has some good advice please???

Sorry,  I read again.  The "hookup" is the dad.

So the question still remains.  Will you just lie and no one will insist on seeing the lab test?  My guess is,  the hookup guy will insist on seeing the results himself.

Hmmm.  Now that you've already taken a DNA test,  how will you hide whatever the truth is?  When the results come back if you intend to lie about them,  will each of the men be happy not to see the paper lab results for themselves?
