I WENT TO PICK UP MY WIFE AND OUR NEWBORN TWIN GIRLS FROM THE HOSPITAL

To a woman who had just carried twins for nine months. Who had swollen ankles and sleepless nights. Who had cried when she heard their heartbeats.

“She begged me not to tell you,” Mom continued. “She said it would break you. But I thought you deserved the truth.”

“There was no truth!” I shouted. “Just your suspicion!”

The babies started crying louder now. Both of them.
