So, thereâs no way this could happen,â Henry replied, his eyes blinking fast, trying to think.âWere you and her in a good place at the time?â âWhat do you mean?â âWell, if she felt like you wouldnât be around, maybe she thought having two kids was too much,â Wendy suggested as carefully as she could. âSo, youâre saying she might have given one kid up and kept the other?â Henry asked, still not believing that Irene wouldâve given one of their children up for adoption. âWe were not good together, and thatâs why we broke up. But this is just⌠ugh⌠I donât know what else to say.â âIs there any way we could find out?â Wendy wondered once again. âI guess I could call the hospital, and we could check thingsâŚ,â Henry mumbled, still in shock and running his fingers through his hair. Just then, the girls came back and said they were hungry, so this conversation would have to continue another day.A few days later, he took Sophie to stay at Wendyâs house and traveled back to Texas. He talked to hospital staff and asked around as much as possible.
Finally, one kind nurse took pity on him and discovered Irene had given birth to two babies. Unfortunately, Henry would never know why she made the tough decision to give one baby up, but he suspected it was his fault. I left her alone to give birth, and I wasnât there for most of her pregnancy. This is my doing. She probably knew she was having twins and didnât tell me. But there was nothing he could do about the past now. He could only go forward and try to make amends. When he returned, he and Wendy got a DNA test for Sandra, confirming their suspicions. But Henry made it clear that Wendy was the girlâs mother. He would never try to separate them. The adults sat down with the girls and told them everything as best they could, which meant explaining to Sandra that she was adopted. But the twins cheered in delight and hugged each other, chanting, âWeâre sisters! Weâre sisters!âHenry and Wendy could only laugh at them, glad that they were so happy. They had to navigate this tricky situation because Henry wanted to be a father to Sandra, but Wendy didnât know how she would fit into Sophieâs life. In the end, they decided to co-parent as if they both were their legal parents, and it turned out amazingly.
