Picking up my wife and my newborn twins from the hospital.

I was so excited to take my wife and our twin daughters home newborn. The car was full of balloons and my heart was beating hard when I thought about finally having them all under the same roof.

 

 

But when I got to the hospital and walked into Suzie’s room, I only found Callie and Jessica in their beds. My wife was not there. Assuming I had gone out to get some fresh air, I approached the babies, and that’s when I saw the note hidden in one of their cribs.

“Goodbye. Take care of them. Ask your mother WHY she did this to me.”

My world got shattered. 

At that moment, the nurse came in with the discharge papers. “Good morning, sir. Here you have…

I interrupted her, desperate to get answers. “Where’s Suzie?”

“She was discharged this morning,” the nurse repeated. He said you knew.

Feeling defeated, I took my daughters home. There, on the porch, I found my mother, radiant with pride.

“Oh, Ben, they’re so beautiful!” he exclaimed, reaching out to the girls. But I walked away, refusing to let him hold them.

“Mom, what did you do to Suzie?” I asked. She turned pale, but quickly denied doing anything wrong.

“Ben, I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she said, faking confusion.

I didn’t know what to believe. That night, I mentally went over every moment of Suzie’s pregnancy. He always seemed happy, or so I thought. But then I remembered the subtle and hurtful comments my mother made. Suzie always took them for a joke, but would it have hurt more than she looked?

Digging through Suzie’s belongings, I found the answer. Hidden in her precious jeweler was a letter from my mother. In it, I cruelly claimed that Suzie had cheated on me with pregnancy and that my daughters and I would be better off without her.
