Four years of loving Julia and preparing for this moment had led me to the delivery room, where everything fell apart.\n
After a difficult pregnancy, Julia was rushed for an emergency delivery, and I was kicked out by Maggie, the nurse who had treated me like family. She told me only the \u201creal father\u201d could stay, and my world crashed.\n
