“The father of the baby. Tell me.”
A wave of nausea rose in my throat.
Not because of the pregnancy.

That very night, Diego dragged a suitcase out of the bedroom.
He didn’t pack much.
Just enough for me to understand that he already had somewhere else to go.
“I’m moving in with Paula,” he said without the slightest shame.
Paula.
His coworker.The woman who used to text me asking for recipes.
The woman who had once smiled sweetly and said to me, “Lauri, you have such an admirable marriage.”
It turned out she had only been waiting for the chance to step into my bed without even having to make it herself.
The next day, my mother-in-law appeared at the door with two black trash bags.
My husband had a vasectomy, yet two months later, I got pregnant. He called me a traitor, left me for another woman… but he had no idea that the biggest shock was waiting for him in the ultrasound room.
