A Son In The Shadow, A Daughter In The Light

Synopsis

I had just dragged myself back from the brink of death in the delivery room, giving birth to a firstborn son for Thomas Shaw, my husband of eight years. Right then, his secretary called. Her voice was bubbling with sheer joy. "Ma'am, the most wonderful news!" A smile instinctively tugged at my lips. It vanished instantly as her next words hit me like a drenching of ice water, chilling me from the inside out. "Mrs. Shaw safely delivered a baby girl at Harmony Medical Center at three o'clock this afternoon! Both mother and daughter are doing perfectly!" The thing was, I was the Mrs. Shaw she was referring to. And the baby I had just given birth to was unmistakably a boy.
