Chapter 1

My husband had weak sperm.

After our eighteenth round of IVF, I finally got pregnant.

I came home with my eight-week ultrasound report, overjoyed, only to find Margaret with a dark expression.

"This baby can't stay.

Your sister-in-law Madison is fighting her husband for custody of their son in the divorce.

If she gets custody, it'll be hard for her to find someone new with a kid in tow.

We'll raise little Tyler here instead."

I couldn't believe my ears.

"Margaret, what did you say? You want me to abort my baby? Are you out of your mind?"

"If she can't raise him, then let his father have custody. I'm not raising him, and I'm definitely not getting rid of my baby!"

Madison's expression immediately turned sour. "Jason already agreed. Who the hell do you think you are? This family isn't yours to run!"

I looked at my husband in disbelief. "Jason, you agreed to this?"

Jason grabbed my arm, trying to persuade me.

"Madison's looking out for you. You've never raised a child before. Having Tyler here would give you practice for being a mom. Just listen to her."
