Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 373

Elysia stared at her son, his earnest expression leaving no room for doubt that this was no joke. Her breath caught in her throat!

She couldn't believe it. "How is this possible? How could Elijah and I...?"

Elliot tried to soothe her, "Mom, just take a deep breath, alright? For us, this is good news. It means we've got another brother, and you've got another son!"

"I know, I know... I get that it's supposed to be good news, but how could I possibly be Elijah's mother? If I am, why didn't I know about his existence? I mean, he would have been in my womb for over nine months. How could I not know? Could Elijah have made a mistake? Are you sure it's me?" The shock was overwhelming, and Elysia found it hard to accept.

Elliot explained calmly, "Mom, when you were pregnant with us, times were tough, and you didn't go to the hospital for check-ups. Then you passed out during labor. You didn't even know how you managed to give birth to us, let alone how many babies were actually inside. We're triplets, and I suspect that Elijah was taken away right after birth, which is why you didn't know about him."

Elysia was stunned, her heart pounding like a drum!

Elliot's explanation made sense. She had fainted on the street close to her delivery date and woke up in a cabin in the woods, with her children already born. Losing one, even two, without her knowledge seemed plausible now!
