Carrying My Husband’s Uncle’s Baby Novel – Broken Promises “Both babies are perfectly healthy!” At the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, Lydia Nelson held her registration slip and let out a deep sigh of relief at the doctor’s words. Despite enduring seven months of hardship, hearing that both babies were healthy made everything seem worthwhile.
Around 7 P.M., she heard the sound of the door unlocking. Quickly, she stood up and called, “Honey!” Haywood Mueller was back. He didn’t look up when he heard her call. After a long day at work, he looked exhausted. He changed his shoes in silence. “I went for a check-up today, and the babies are healthy.” Since Haywood had a meeting, Lydia went to the hospital alone.
The hospital wasn’t far away, so it wasn’t a big deal. Lydia said cheerfully, “I was thinking about the babies’ names. What do you think we should call them?” This was their third year of marriage, and their parents had long been eager for a grandchild. In particular, Haywood’s mother would call every now and then to ask if they were expecting. Since her pregnancy, the whole family had been overjoyed.
Though the pregnancy was hard, the thought of two cute babies made everything seem worthwhile. After changing his shoes, Haywood said with a straight face, “Just abort the babies.” “What?” Lydia, still caught up in hopeful anticipation, was stunned by his words. She couldn’t believe what she heard. He actually wanted to abort the babies? Lydia married Haywood when she was 21 after two years of dating.

After all, she loved him for who he was. However, his parents didn’t know about his condition and pressured them to have a child. Seeing their married friends become parents and with his mother’s constant nagging, Haywood eventually suggested artificial insemination and convinced Lydia to get pregnant. Over the past few months, Lydia had suffered a lot from carrying two babies. But now… He wanted her to end the pregnancy.
“Why?” she asked. Haywood said, “I talked to a friend at the hospital today. He believes there’s still a chance to treat my condition, and I want to try again. Besides, even if the babies are born, they aren’t biologically mine. I don’t want them.” Lydia stared at him in disbelief since he talked about ending the pregnancy so casually. She replied, “It was your idea to begin with.
You said even if they aren’t your biological children, it wouldn’t matter because I carry them to term. And I’m already pregnant for seven months. It won’t be long before they’re born…” She had suffered so much, come to accept the babies, and even started looking forward to their arrival. And now he said he just didn’t want them anymore? Haywood grew impatient and said, “After they’re born, we have to raise them.
Do you think it’s easy raising two kids? If I spend all the money on them, how will we afford to have our own children later?” “These two are enough! Besides, kids aren’t disposable. It was your idea in the f
