I Unexpectedly Saw My Husband in a Luxury Suit Leaving a Maternity Clinic with Two Babies in His Arms

When Emma spotted her husband, Jacob, walking out of a maternity ward in a designer suit, cradling two newborns, her world shattered. Determined to uncover the truth, she followed the trail.

The morning started like any other. I was in the kitchen, staring down at the two pink lines on the test in front of me. Pregnant. Again. My hand instinctively went to my belly.

A part of me felt joy. Babies are a blessing, right? But then reality hit, and my chest tightened. How were we going to make this work?

Jacob already works so hard as a janitor, and my nanny job barely covers the groceries. Tommy, our 7-year-old, needs new shoes, and our car’s been making a noise that doesn’t sound cheap to fix.

He was wearing a sleek black suit, the kind I’d only seen on TV. His hair was combed perfectly, and on his wrist was a shiny watch that caught the light with every step. But the part that made my stomach twist...
