My Husband Went on Vacation Just Days Before My Scheduled C-Section With Our Twins – When He Came Home, His Knees Were Shaking

At thirty-six weeks, the doctor explained that one baby remained breech. I would need a scheduled C-section followed by several difficult weeks of recovery.

“No lifting, driving, or unnecessary stairs,” he warned.

Then he looked directly at Trevor.

“Katie will need significant help.”

Trevor nodded confidently.

“I’ve got her.”

I believed him.

A few days later, he entered the kitchen holding his phone and smiling.

“The guys finally booked our beach trip.”

I stared at him.

“My surgery is in four days.”

Surgery

 

“I know. I’ll return the night before.”

“You’ll be exhausted.”

“I’ll manage. I just need one final break before everything becomes chaotic.”

“A break from what?”

He gestured toward my stomach.

“You know—what’s coming.”

For him, responsibility was approaching sometime in the future.
