I spent time with the Black Grad Student members and talked about dating, mentioned a FRIEND (not boyfriend, hell didn't even identify sex now that I think about it) that was coming to visit and two months later I was speaking to someone in the group that informed me I had been in a longterm relationship all this time.
That was gossip run amuck but at least I didn't have kids in the story.

Actually that wasn't gossip. It was rumor.
The gossip was them talkin about it whether true or false.
The twists your story took was the rumor mill adding their own variations.
