🇳 Six bikers walked out of the maternity ward with my dead sister's newborn baby and the nurse just let them.
I watched on the security camera as these massive men in leather vests carried my nephew through the hospital doors like they owned him. Like they had every right to take him.
My sister Sarah died giving birth forty-seven minutes earlier. Hemorrhaging. The doctors couldn't stop the bleeding. She was twenty-three years old and she bled to death on the delivery table while her baby screamed his first breaths.
I was in the waiting room when they told me she was gone. Still processing. Still unable to breathe. Still trying to understand how my little sister could be dead.
Then the head nurse rushed in. "Ma'am, do you know the men who just took the baby?"
"What men? What are you talking about?"
She showed me the security footage on her tablet. Six bikers. Leather vests. Long beards. Walking out of the maternity ward with my newborn nephew. The one in front was cradling the baby against his chest like something precious.
"Call the police!" I screamed. "They kidnapped him! Those men kidnapped my sister's baby!"
But the nurse grabbed my arm. "Ma'am, wait. They had documentation. They had legal paperwork. They said they were the designated guardians."
"That's impossible! I'm Sarah's only family! I'm supposed to take the baby! Who are these people?"
The nurse looked uncomfortable. "They said your sister arranged it six months ago. They had a notarized custody agreement. They had her signature."
I felt like the floor was crumbling beneath me. Sarah had never mentioned bikers. Never mentioned any arrangement. She'd told me I would raise her baby if anything happened to her. We'd talked about it dozens of times.
"This has to be a mistake," I whispered. "Or a forgery. Sarah would never give her baby to strangers. To bikers."
The nurse handed me a sealed envelope. "They left this for you. Said your sister wrote it. Said it would explain everything."
My hands were shaking as I took the envelope. Sarah's handwriting was on the front. My name. Catherine. Just my name in her loopy cursive.
I tore it open.
Dear Cat,
If you're reading this, I'm gone. I'm so sorry. I knew there was a chance I wouldn't survive the delivery. The doctors warned me about my heart condition. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry.
I need to tell you something I should have told you years ago. Something about the baby's father...Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All Comments 🗨️
