During my first year married into a family of unimaginable wealth, I finally get pregnant. Margaret Blackwood, my husband's mother, is so ecstatic that she treats me like a fragile deity. That is until the day of my ultrasound. The doctor points at the monitor, his voice trembling as he stammers, "You're having four grandsons." I watch Margaret freeze like a statue. Pulling out my phone, I post an update to my social media. It reads that I am expecting quadruplets. My goal is overdelivered. Time to enjoy the good life. Lucian Blackwood, my husband, comments a second later with a single question mark.
