No More Second Chances Starting Over Without You

After a grueling natural birth with a severe tear and an episiotomy, I was finally wheeled out of the delivery room. The first thing I saw was my husband’s junior colleague holding my newborn baby.

She was leaning against the wall of the maternity corridor, standing incredibly close to my husband, Julian Vance.

"Clara, congratulations!" Chloe Miller chirped, looking up at me.

"Julian was in such a complete panic. He called me to come help. He said a moment like this really needs another woman around."

Julian smiled, his tone light and breezy as he chimed in.
