The rain is coming down so hard it makes the porch light look like it’s shining underwater. When I open the door, my sister is standing there, soaked through, gripping a manila envelope in one hand and holding a little girl’s hand with the other. “This child isn’t ours,” Megan whispers. “Not the way we thought.” Her voice trembles.

My mother-in-law tried to steal the spotlight in a giant red gown at my wedding and even sat beside my groom — but she had no idea what was about to happen next.
I always assumed the biggest disaster at my wedding would be something minor, like the DJ mixing up our first-dance song. I never imagined my future mother-in-law arriving in a bright red sequined gown with a veil would completely surpass that fear. My name is Harper, I’m 25, and I married Cole in my aunt’s backyard.
