3. The Moment the Truth Was Revealed
At the hospital, everything moved quickly.
Doctors and nurses prepared the delivery room while Ethan stayed at my side. His calm voice never left my ear, helping me focus through every wave of pain.
Finally, after hours that felt like minutes and minutes that felt like hours, our son was born.
The first cry filled the room.
Relief washed over me as the doctor announced that our baby boy was healthy.
Ethan leaned down, kissed my forehead, and whispered, “We did it.”

My father looked stunned.
“Why didn’t you ever tell us?” he asked.
Ethan answered simply.

That night, as Ethan held our newborn son in his arms, I realized something important.
