My best friend and I decided to get pregnant by the same man so our children would share the same genes. But when the doctor saw our genetic test results, he said in horror, “Oh my God… Do you understand what could happen to these babies?” Then something completely unexpected happened…

He looked at me first, then at Emily.

“I’ve worked in this field for twenty-seven years, and I’ve rarely encountered results like these. If these findings are confirmed, there’s something extremely important you need to know about your children’s future.”

Emily grabbed my hand.

“Will they survive, Doctor?”

Dr. Harris took a deep breath.

“First, we need to double-check something. And it involves not only the children’s father but both of you as well.”

My entire world seemed to spin.

What could we possibly have in common that we didn’t already know?

And why had he suddenly asked whether we knew our biological parents?

Emily was trembling beside me, both hands resting protectively on her belly.

“Please tell us the truth,” she whispered. “Is something wrong with our babies?”

“The initial tests haven’t revealed any serious illness,” Dr. Harris explained. “But we’ve discovered something unusual in your genetic results.”

He looked directly at me.

“Sarah, your mother died when you were six, correct?”

I nodded.

“And Emily, you were adopted?”

“Yes,” she answered nervously. “Why?”

“Certain genetic markers suggest you may be closely related. We need additional testing to confirm that.”

For several seconds, neither of us spoke.

Twenty-five years of friendship. Thousands of memories. And now a doctor was suggesting that we might be family.

“But could that hurt our babies?” I asked.

“Being related to each other doesn’t automatically mean your children have a genetic disorder,” he reassured us. “We also need to rule out any biological connection to the donor.”

We agreed to further testing.

The next six days were unbearable.

Every night, I lay awake with one hand on my stomach, whispering prayers for my unborn son.

Emily came over almost every evening.

One night, sitting in my kitchen, she suddenly asked:

“Sarah, remember how your father always said we looked strangely alike?”

  1. Why do you have to go through so much to try to read the whole story. I like the stories but I’m going to stop trying to read them because of the aggravation.

  2. Why do you do this, tell half a story and then make people hunt for the rest to only be let down when you realize it's full of ads and there's no more information top be had!

  3. Life is too short to have to mess around with a story that I still can't find the end of. Looked interesting,..but no.
