Lucy Matthews never imagined her hospital discharge would turn into a mystery. After giving birth to twins—a boy and a girl—she was stunned when nurse Savannah returned from their checkup with two baby girls.
“This isn’t possible,” Lucy said, her hands trembling. “One of them is supposed to be my son!”
Ross stood by his wife, equally confused. “There’s been a mistake,” he told the nurse firmly.
Dr. Carter intervened, reviewing the records. But when she pulled Savannah aside, Lucy’s instincts told her something was off. She quietly followed them and listened outside the office door.
Inside, Savannah was in tears. “My sister died in childbirth,” she confessed. “Her husband left her when she got pregnant. I couldn’t let her baby go to an orphanage… I thought Lucy and Ross would give her a good life.”
Lucy’s heart ached. That night, she couldn’t sleep, haunted by the image of the orphaned baby. By morning, she had made up her mind.
“Ross, I want to adopt her,” she said.
Though surprised, Ross agreed after meeting the baby himself. They named her Amelia, and she became the final piece of their family puzzle.
As for Savannah? She became a beloved aunt figure, forever grateful that her niece had found the loving home she’d hoped for.
