RICHARD.I flew to Boston one weekend in March because Sophie had called me three days earlier with the confidence only a child could have. She never really asked if I was coming. She simply said, "I'll see you this weekend, Uncle Richard," after I had answered, I'll think about it. Somehow, she always believed those words meant yes. As my car pulled into Jason and Karen's driveway, I found myself smiling before I even stepped out. It amazed me how one little girl could make me cross states without even trying.Karen opened the front door before I knocked twice. She smiled warmly, and I noticed something different almost immediately. Her stomach had begun to show beneath her sweater, and for a second, I just stared before remembering my manners. "Congratulations," I said softly. "You look... happy." She laughed quietly and rested a hand over her belly."Thank you, Richard.""I'm really happy for you.""I know," she replied. "Please come inside before Sophie tears the house apart loo

KARENThe phone almost slipped out of my hand as I stared at it in complete shock. My heart beat so fast that I wondered if I had heard the doctor correctly. Jason looked at my face, and all the color drained from his own. He pushed his chair back so quickly that it scraped loudly across the kitchen floor. I swallowed hard before lifting the phone back to my ear."Doctor... I'm sorry," I whispered. "Can you please repeat that? I think I heard you wrong."The doctor sounded calm, almost amused by my reaction."Mrs. Mitchell, after reviewing your ultrasound more carefully, we discovered something we didn't catch during the first scan. You are carrying twins. One baby was hiding behind the other during the earlier examination, so it appeared there was only one."I covered my mouth with my free hand."Twins?" I asked weakly."Yes. Two healthy babies.""You're sure?""I'm very sure. We reviewed the images several times before calling you,” the doctor said. “Congratulations.”I thanked her

KARENMy finger hovered over the voicemail for several seconds before I finally pressed play. Jason moved closer until our shoulders touched. The kitchen had become so quiet that I could hear the ticking clock on the wall. My heart pounded inside my chest as the message began.A shaky voice filled the room."Ms. Karen... I... I don't know if you'll ever hear this, but I have to tell someone before it's too late."The man paused, breathing hard."My name doesn't matter. I work... worked... in the IT department at A.A. Biotech. Please don't try to find me before you hear everything."I looked at Jason, and he gave me a worried look. The fear in the man's voice didn't sound fake. He sounded like someone who hadn't slept for days."I made a terrible mistake," the man continued. "About eight weeks ago, someone contacted me. They offered me more money than I've ever seen. All I had to do was reactivate Adrian Clarke's system credentials."Jason frowned deeply.The man kept talking."They to

KARENFriday arrived much faster than I wanted. It felt as though I had only just closed my eyes after another sleepless night when I found myself standing in front of my bedroom mirror. I slowly smoothed both hands over the deep green gown Diane had carefully altered for me twice as my pregnancy grew. The fabric rested gently over my stomach now, making it impossible to hide that I was carrying twins. I took a slow breath, trying to calm the nervous feeling twisting inside me.I stared at my reflection for a long moment."You can do this," I whispered to myself.The words sounded stronger than I actually felt.Jason appeared in the doorway, already dressed in a dark suit. He leaned against the frame with a smile that was warm enough to chase away some of my fear. His eyes moved from my face to my stomach before returning to meet mine again. He looked proud, but I could also see the worry he was trying so hard to hide."You've been staring at that mirror for five minutes," he said."I

KARENThe silence inside the car after the voice note ended felt heavy enough to crush us. I stared at my phone, trying to make sense of what I had just heard. My heartbeat became so loud that it almost drowned out the sound of the engine. Erin Hale had known I called Agent Webb almost the moment I did it.Jason looked at me with disbelief."That's impossible.""I know."Gerald slowly turned around from the front seat."Unless..."He never finished the sentence.He didn't have to.The same terrifying thought had already entered my mind.I looked at Jason.Then at Gerald.Then at our driver.For one horrible moment, I wondered if one of the people sitting in this car was secretly telling Erin everything we did.The thought made me feel sick."I'm sorry," I said quietly, "but everyone needs to put their phones on the seat."Jason looked surprised."You think one of us...""I don't know what to think anymore."Without arguing, Jason unlocked his phone and placed it beside mine.
