Well I hate to say it, but you already know youre at least a carrier of the trait.
We can only theorize if its dominant or recessive in you or not.

You can be AA and have the trait if your father was homozygous dominant (unlikely)
You can be AA and have the trait if your father was heterozygous (50%)
You can be Aa and be a carrier if your father was heterozygous (50%)
You can be Aa and be a carrier if your father was homozygous recessive (100%)

I hate to say it, but if you do decide to have children when you get married your wife should be checked as well to see if she is a carrier of it. At that point, depending on your outcome tomorrow, you will have to make the decision to have children or not...or adopt.
