At my baby shower, I announced my son’s name. Two weeks later, my sister-in-law had me arrested, claiming I was obsessed with her child. My husband “”confessed,”” and they were taking my baby at birth. But in the hospital, I started hemorrhaging. An officer blocked the door to the OR, insisting I was faking it. He didn’t know the head nurse had just hit “”record”” on her phone.
βYour husbandβs already confessed,β an officer named Mills said, his voice dripping with contempt. He claimed I was obsessed with my sister-in-lawβs child, and that my husband admitted the entire scheme was my idea. Beside him, a cold-eyed social worker announced, βThe baby will be removed at birth. Youβll never see it.β
Just then, a sharp, stabbing pain seized my stomach, so intense it stole my breath. It felt like I was being torn in two. βSomethingβs wrong,β I gasped. βIβ¦ I think Iβm bleeding.β
βConvenient timing,β Mills scoffed, not even glancing my way. βStop faking it.β
The pain intensified, a relentless, white-hot agony. I felt a sudden, warm gush between my legs. βPlease, help me,β I cried out, my voice raw with panic.
βYouβre not bleeding,β Mills said, his voice laced with boredom. βSit still or weβll add resisting arrest to the charges.β
Ignoring him, a nurse pulled back my blanket. She gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. βSheβs hemorrhaging! Get Dr. Blake in here now!β
Shouts filled the room. βSheβs having a placental abruption! This is life-threatening!β
Dr. Blake ran in, took one look at the blood pooling on the bed, and his face went white. βGood God, how long has she been bleeding?β
βPrep an OR, now!β the doctor roared. βWe could lose them both!β
But as the nurses tried to wheel my bed out, Officer Mills physically blocked the door. βSheβs in custody. She stays here.β
Dr. Blakeβs face contorted with a rage Iβd never seen. βThen you might as well sign their death certificates right now,β he snapped. βThis is a medical emergency, not a negotiation.β
βLet me call my supervisor,β Mills said slowly, pulling out his phone as I writhed in agony and my vision started to tunnel. βProtocol is protocol.β
His call went to voicemail. He began leaving a long, detailed message, his voice a drone against the symphony of my screams and the frantic beeps of the failing monitors.
He was so focused on his power play, so consumed with following βprotocolβ as my life and my sonβs life slipped away, that he didnβt notice the head nurse. He didn’t see her quietly lift her phone, aiming it in his direction.
And he certainly didn’t know she had just hit βrecord.β Watch: [in comment] – Made with AI
