The nurse had just finished examining Lucy’s newborn twins before discharge, but the moment she returned with the babies, Lucy froze. Instead of the boy and girl she had delivered, the nurse carried in two baby girls. Lucy and her husband, Ross, had been trying to conceive for years, and discovering they were expecting twins had felt like a miracle.
The ultrasound had shown they would be welcoming a boy and a girl, and the couple had spent months preparing for both. But now, as Lucy stared at the two infants in front of her, her face drained of color. “Where has my son gone?
What exactly did you do to him? And whose baby is this other girl?” she cried, fixing her gaze on the nurse who had brought the children into the room. “They are your daughters, ma’am,” the nurse, Savannah, replied, her eyes glued to the documents in her hands.
“I double-checked the reports and I’m confident there is no error.”
“Have you lost your senses?” Lucy snapped back. “I have all the reports right here that prove I was supposed to deliver a boy and a girl— and I was informed of the same right after delivery. There’s no way they’re both girls!”
Lucy could see fear flicker in the nurse’s eyes as she looked up briefly.
Before Lucy could press further, Dr. Linda Carter entered the room. “Would you please keep quiet, ma’am?
This is a hospital, and there are other patients,” she instructed firmly. “Quiet? Seriously?” Lucy glared.
“Your nurse brings me a random child and then tries to tell me she isn’t wrong! Is this how your hospital functions? Should I call the chief doctor and explain what’s going on?”
Ross stepped in, his voice tense.
“I agree with my wife, doctor. We don’t want to cause a scene, but your nurse is lying. We don’t know why—but if we don’t get our son back, we’ll have to call the police!”
“Please, sir, calm down,” Dr.
Carter said. “I’m sure there’s just a misunderstanding. Savannah has worked here for years.
Perhaps she brought the wrong documents. Savannah, may I see the papers?”
But Savannah refused, clutching the documents to her chest. “There’s no need, ma’am… I mean, I already checked them, and they’re fine.”
Dr.
Carter immediately sensed something was off. “It’s fine. Let me quickly check the reports,” she said softly.
