‘Sorry Mom, I Couldn’t Leave Them,’ My 16-Year-Old Son Said When He Brought Newborn Twins Home
“Josh…” My voice came out strangled. “What… what is this? Where did you..?”
He looked up at me with determination mixed with fear.
I felt my knees go weak. “Leave them? Josh, where did you get these babies?”
“They’re twins. A boy and a girl.”
My hands were shaking. “You need to tell me what’s happening right now.”
Josh took a deep breath. “I went to the hospital this afternoon. My friend Marcus fell off his bike pretty badly, so I took him to get checked out. We were waiting in the ER, and that’s when I saw him.”

“Saw who?”
“Dad.”
The air left my lungs.
