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…

“Then why keep it secret?”

“We were afraid of being wrong. And as the years passed, we became afraid of admitting how long we’d remained silent.”

I was hurt and angry.

But I could see how deeply he regretted his decision.

The following afternoon, Emily came with me to visit him.

When my father saw her standing in the doorway, his eyes filled with tears.

He embraced her.

“Your mother would have given anything to see you again.”

Emily began sobbing.

“I spent my whole life believing she didn’t want me.”

“No, sweetheart,” he whispered. “She loved you. She wanted you to have the life she couldn’t give you.”

The three of us sat together for hours, sharing memories and discovering the family history we’d never known.

Three months later, Emily gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

She named her Mary, after our mother.

Three weeks later, my son Noah was born.

  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.
