After years of failed treatments and two miscarriages, I finally became pregnant with twin girls.
Pregnancy& Maternity
Just days before my scheduled C-section, my husband left for a five-day beach vacation because he wanted “one last break before fatherhood.”
When he returned, the first person he saw was the man he had spent his entire life resenting.
My name is Katie.
When the doctor revealed that there were two heartbeats, Trevor cried harder than I did. He painted the nursery, assembled two cribs, and proudly told everyone he would become the greatest father in the world.

But as my pregnancy advanced, I noticed something troubling.
Whenever Trevor discussed fatherhood, he spoke as though it would begin only after the babies arrived.
His weekends still belonged to golf, basketball, and dinners with friends. Meanwhile, my life revolved around medical appointments, swollen feet, sleepless nights, and counting every movement inside my stomach.
