A few weeks ago, I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy, Luc. It was a tough pregnancy, filled with sleepless nights and constant worry, but it was all worth it the moment I held Luc in my arms.
The plan was simple: my husband, Tom, would pick us up from the hospital and we’d start our new life as a family. I imagined him cradling Luc, his eyes lighting up with joy. That image kept me going through the hardest days.

The day of our discharge arrived, and I was buzzing with anticipation. I had Luc wrapped in a cozy blanket, and every tiny sound he made filled my heart with warmth.
I kept glancing at the clock, each minute dragging longer than the last. Tom was supposed to be here by now. I checked my phone: no missed calls, no messages. My excitement began to twist into anxiety.

“Is everything okay?” the nurse asked, noticing my restless demeanor.
“Yeah, I think so,” I replied, though I wasn’t sure. “My husband is just running late.”
I tried calling Tom, but it went straight to voicemail. I sent a few texts, each one more frantic than the last. Minutes turned into an hour, and still no word from him. My mind raced with horrible possibilities, had he been in an accident? Was he hurt?
