Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Please help me. I don't know what to do. I live with my husband (whom is hispanic), my daughter (whom is part caucasion and part hispanic), my mother, my brother-in-law (whom is hispanic and is also my mothers' boyfriend), my brother, my brothers' girlfriend, their daughter, and their new baby. The problem is my family and I believe that the baby is not my brothers' baby. For over a year now, my family and I suspect that something is or has been going on between my brothers' girlfriend and my brother-in-law. We have confronted them several times, but they both deny it. Though when my brother-in-law is drunk he says that it is true. We believe the father of the baby is actually my brother-in-law (my mother's boyfriend). My brother-in-law confessed to his family that he has had sexual relations with my brothers' girlfriend and that he believes the baby is his. Though he won't admit it to my mother or my brother. There was an incident a few weeks back when the situation was actually put out there and it caused a big conflict with my brother and my brother-in-law. I have explained to my brother and his girlfriend that the only way to solve the problem is to have a paternity test, but they refuse. I have tried everything to get them to have the test done, but nothing seems to work. For the sake of the baby and the baby's medical history and so fourth, we really need to know the truth. What can I do? What rights do I have? Is there anything I can do without causing any conflicts and preferrably without them knowing (at least until I have the truth)? My brother, his girlfriend, and their daughter are all caucasion. My mother and I are also caucasion. My husband and my brother-in-law are hispanic, and my daughter is part caucasion and part hispanic. The new baby looks exactly like my daughter. He looks hispanic also. It is so obvious and its irking me that my brothers' girlfriend has brainwashed him to believe that this baby is his baby. I don't understand how he can't see what is right in front of him. It's killing me that my brothers' girlfriend can sit on this lie and my brother refuses to believe it and do anything about it. My husband wants me to just butt out and not get involved, but for the babys' sake, I cannot do that. For the babys' well being, the truth has to come out. If my accusations are right, they are giving the baby's doctor the wrong family medical history and that can be dangerous for the baby down the road. Please say there is something I can do about this.
