The Celebration: An Unexpected Son​

Summary

It was the night of my company’s celebration dinner.

Suddenly, a notification popped up in the family group chat.

An unfamiliar cartoon avatar tagged my husband.

“Dad, can I get some cash? I want to buy a new gaming console.”

I froze.

I checked again. Yes, this was my husband's immediate family chat group.

Mark and I had been married for years. We had one daughter, Eleanor.

Since when did we have another child?

The message was quickly deleted, but I couldn’t just pretend it never happened.

Before I could do anything, my husband called me.
