One of My Triplets Passed Away Six Months After Birth – On Their 18th Birthday, I Found a Box on the Doorstep Labeled, 'Happy Birthday, Brothers!'

He looked at the empty space in the folder.

"There's nothing," I said.

"Maybe Peggy kept it."

"Of course she did."

"I hope one day you find peace with the decision made for Rowan."

Watson read it twice. "Decision?"

"That's what I thought."

He looked at the copied form on the bed.

I grabbed my keys. "We're going to Doctor Jefferson."

Watson stood. "Now?"

"Right now."

"We're going to Doctor Jefferson."

Doctor Jefferson looked older than I remembered. His receptionist tried to stop us, but I held up Rowan's bracelet.

"Tell him it's about the baby he told me was dead."

A minute later, after the receptionist showed him the bracelet, he opened his door.

I placed the bracelet on his desk. "Where did this come from?"

His face changed.
