Pretty sure my "cousin" is actually my daughter

It all started at a party one Fourth of July at my aunt's house. After the fireworks, people started going home and the rest of us broke out the alcohol. Eventually it was just me and my aunt in the pool, everyone else had gone inside. She is a very attractive woman, in her late 30's at the time, I was in my early 20's. She was sitting on a ledge at the edge of the pool, and I swam over. We were both pretty drunk and we started talking about sex, and eventually I asked to kiss her. Well, one thing led to another. We didn't want the others to see us, so we had sex in the pool. I came inside her, and honestly because we were in a pool, I didn't think much of it...until around October when she announced she was pregnant! She told everyone the father was an old friend she hooked back up with, but I had my doubts. She had a baby girl in March of the following year, her name is Bailey. My aunt eventually married the "old friend" just after Bailey was born.
Bailey is now 15 and she is the spitting image of me at that age. Everyone jokes about "how strong the family genes are" but I have a sneaking suspicion that she's my child. My aunt and I never had sex again and we've never spoken about it, even after she got pregnant and had Bailey. I want to know if Bailey is my child, but I also don't want to destroy our family if the truth ever got out. My aunt and uncle are happy, and he's the only father Bailey has ever known. I've considered getting some of her hair and sending it out for a paternity test...but I haven't...because sometimes I wonder if I really want the truth...
