My "Child-Free" Wife Brought Home Her Late Ex's Baby

Thanksgiving dinner. A family reunion. My strictly child-free wife showed up with a baby in her arms. The infant’s eyes and brows were a spitting image of her deceased first love, the one who got away.

She claimed to the family that the baby belonged to a late friend and that she was just fostering him.

Until I woke up in the middle of the night and saw her holding a breast pump, rocking the baby to sleep.

"Don't cry, my sweet boy. Daddy might be gone, but Mommy is here to protect you."
