EdwardsBaby.jpgElizabeth Edwards says a paternity test will settle the question of whether her husband, former Senator John Edwards, is the father of a child a former lover claims is his.

Appearing on CNN's Larry King Live, Elizabeth was asked if the little girl, named Frances, would be given a test to determine if her husband was the father.

"My expectation is that, at some point, something happens," she said. "And I hope for the sake of this child that it happens ... in a quiet way."

Seems like Mrs. Edwards is handling the situation fairly well - despite reports that she's packed up her bags and moved out - but of course, as she courageously continues to battle breast cancer, we'd expect nothing less from her!

As for her husband, don't you think he should man-up and admit the truth and focus on doing what's best for the child?
