Day 20. The nurses were my spies, though they didn’t know it. They gossiped while they changed my sheets, assuming I was deaf\u00a0to the world.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cDid you see the Instagram post?\u201d Nurse Elena whispered to Nurse Sofia.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThe one from the \u2018family friend\u2019?\u201d Sofia snorted. \u201cDisgusting.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cShe\u2019s wearing the patient\u2019s wedding dress, Sofia. I swear to God. She posted a story captioned \u2018Welcome Home Celebration\u2019 and she\u2019s spinning around in the living room\u2026 in Luc\u00eda\u2019s dress.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAnd the husband?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cHe\u2019s filming it. You can see him in the mirror reflection. Laughing.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
My wedding dress. The lace imported from Spain. The dress I wore when I promised to love him until death parted us. Now, it was a costume for his mistress, worn in my home, while I lay rotting in a hospital bed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAnd the baby?\u201d Sofia asked.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThe grandma already changed the registration,\u201d Elena whispered, her voice dropping lower. \u201cLuc\u00eda wanted \u2018Esperanza.\u2019 Hope. The grandmother filed the papers yesterday. The baby is \u2018M\u00eda\u2019 now.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
M\u00eda. Mine. Possessive.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They weren\u2019t just killing me. They were erasing me. They were overwriting my life with a new version where I never existed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But then, Elena said something that stopped my heart.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWhat about the other one?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cShh,\u201d Sofia hissed. \u201cWe aren\u2019t supposed to know about that. Dr. Mart\u00ednez is keeping it off the main chart to protect the child.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The other one?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
My mind raced. The ultrasound had always shown one baby. One heartbeat. Had I missed something?<\/div>\n
