mixed babies and DNA tests.

This is going to be a bit lengthy and complicated. My boyfriend has the skintone of a mixed person. Both of his biological parents appear to be white. His moms dad was black though. So, I assume that makes my boyfriend like 25% black. I'm rather pale. I'm curious as to what skin tone my baby will have.
And I'm so worried that if the baby looks white that people will say its not his and suggest a DNA test.  :/ Its his, but that could definitely put stress on a  relationship. What do you guys think?

Mix babies come out in all different skin tones. But the facial features is where you  will see the likeness to the father or yourself. FYI: all babies are born lightskined. And change skin tone as time goes by. You'll be fine. :)

Well if his mom is half black.  You are right that means he is 25 % black. Which would make your baby less than that. So it is very likely that it might not look black when the baby is born. That happens a lot, nothing to stress about. (:
