Over the Top Reaction
My son was in the NICU because he was premature, so I spent a lot of hours in the waiting room for the visiting hour to come so that I could see him. There are usually a lot of parents there, but there was this one day that I went too early, so it was just me and another mom.
She seemed very nervous and kept looking at the door or looking outside the window. Part of me got worried that she was being stalked or that it was a case of bad blood with the husband and she left him.
But I was so, so wrong. It turns out the husband is a captain or works at a ship and he was away for about a year. The baby was born during the eighth month that he was away. He didn’t tell her he was back because he wanted to surprise her, but he was the one who got the surprise.
The baby was his brother’s and he was the one who broke the news to the husband. The screaming was over the top and they were escorted out by security. Story credit: Reddit / Thatweirdone129
