Steve starts his day like any other — nothing out of the usual, just a man saying goodbye to his wife before leaving for work. But as the day progresses, he receives urgent calls and texts from his kid. When he arrives home, nothing is as it appears. Now he has a strange man in his home, a pregnant wife with a baby who may not be his, and a sobbing youngster. What does all this mean?The day began like any other. My wife, three months pregnant, kissed me farewell as I left for work, her smile as comforting as the morning sun.”I’ll cook when I get home,” I assured her. “Don’t worry about it.”
Laura worked from home, so I knew she’d get our kid, Jackson, ready for school and out the door before returning to bed. Before logging into work, she would read a novel and drink her morning tea. I spent the day reviewing marketing ideas and listening to presentations, all the while thinking of baby names for the little one we’d meet in a few months. But as the office clock passed two, my phone vibrated insistently. Looking at the screen, I noticed my son’s name flashing. I was in the middle of a meeting, so I had no choice but to silence his phone call.
