Seven months pregnant and preparing for the baby, I was shocked when my dad showed up late at night, looking disheveled and claiming he was divorcing my mom after 37 years. His strange behavior—snooping in the nursery and leaving mysteriously—made me and my mom suspicious.
We investigated and drove to a secret location, expecting the worst. Instead, we walked into a surprise baby shower, complete with decorations and loved ones, all staged as a playful “mystery” by my dad. Even my husband and doctor were in on it.
Though I was initially angry, the surprise turned into laughter and love—a perfect celebration for our little one on the way.
