Doctor Raises Triplets after Mother Dies in Labor, in 5 Years Their Bio Dad Appears After his sister died giving birth, Dr. Spellman adopted and reared her triplets. However, his life was completely upended five years later when the biological father of the triplets arrived to take the kids back. \u201cInhale deeply. As his sister was being wheeled to the operating room on a gurney, Thomas walked with her and reassuring her that everything would be alright.Leah tried to take a deep breath, her brows wrinkled with perspiration. \u201cYou\u2019re in\u2026 As they walked into the operating room, she said,\n
\u201cThomas, you\u2019re the best older brother I could ask God for.\u201dAt just 36 weeks into her pregnancy, Leah went into labor, and the physicians recommended a cesarean delivery. But Leah\u2019s condition deteriorated shortly after giving birth to her first child, and her pulse started to decrease. \u201cLeah, come hang out with me! Nurse, what is going on? Leah, look at me! Thomas sobbed, his hands encircling his sister\u2019s, \u201cLook at me.\u201d As she led Dr. Spellman outside, Dr. Nichols remarked, \u201cDoctor Spellman, you need to leave, please.\u201d The OR doors were then forcefully closed.With unending sobbing, Thomas collapsed onto a chair in the waiting room.\n
His hands still carried the aroma of his sister. With his head buried in his hands, he hoped that things would be better soon. But he knew something was wrong when a doctor\u2019s voice interrupted his reverie. He jumped up and said, \u201cDoctor\u2026how\u2026how\u2019s Leah?\u201d \u201cWe sincerely apologize, Thomas,\u201d Dr. Nichols stated. \u201cDespite our best efforts, we were unable to halt the bleeding. The kids have been moved into the NICU and are safe.\u201d\n
Thomas collapsed back into the chair, not knowing how to take in the news of his sister\u2019s passing. Leah had been ecstatic to cuddle, hold, and bestow upon her darling angels nothing but the best. How could God take her away so quickly and with such cruelty? Now, what should I do?\u201d The sound of a voice echoed in the corridor, disappointing Thomas. \u201cWhere on earth is she? She believed that I wouldn\u2019t know if she delivered the children.\u201dWhen Thomas witnessed Joe, his sister\u2019s ex-boyfriend, storming into the hospital, his fury knew no bounds. \u201cWhere is your sister?\u201d Joe snarled.Grabbing the man\u2019s collar, Thomas trapped him against the wall. \u201cYou want to know where she is now, huh? When she was homeless for the night due to someone like you, where were you? And four hours ago, when she fell, where were you, Joe? She\u2019s passed away! My sister never made it to see her children!\u201d \u201cWhere are my kids? I\u2019d like to view them.\u201d Joe let out a cry and wrenched Thomas\u2019s arms away. Joe, you dare not even mention them! \u201cLeave my hospital, or I\u2019ll notify security!\u201d Thomas forewarned him. \u201cOUT!\u201d\u201cThomas, I\u2019m going to get my kids back, but I\u2019m leaving now! Joe shot out, \u201cYou can\u2019t take them away from me,\u201d and he left the corridor. Thomas felt he couldn\u2019t sit and lament his sister\u2019s passing for the sake of his three small nephews. For his nephews, he was everything, and he would stop at nothing to prevent the kids from growing up with their drunken father. Thomas made the decision to adopt the triplets and fought in court to gain custody of them.\u201cThis is unfair, your honor!\u201d On the witness stand, Joe yelled and faked tears.\n
\u201cThe kids\u2019 father is me. Without such tiny lives, how would I manage to survive? They are everything I have right now\u2014they are Leah\u2019s flesh and blood as well as MY flesh and blood.\u201dThe judge said, \u201cLet me get something clear,\u201d to Joe. \u201cLeah, the mother of the children, was not married to you, and you did not provide her with financial support during her pregnancy. Is that accurate? Joe lowered his head and muttered, \u201cWell, you\u2019re not wrong, your Honor.\u201d \u201cI take on modest jobs and act as a handyman. We never got married because I couldn\u2019t afford to support her.\u201d \u201cPardon me, your honor, but my client has text messages and voice notes from his sister where she clearly states that Mr. Dawson is a heavy drinker,\u201d the attorney for Thomas stated. \u201cAnd she refused to marry him unless he entered a rehabilitation program.\u201d The judge was persuaded by the attorney\u2019s presentation of the facts that Joe was unfit to raise the children, and the court ruled in Thomas\u2019 favor.Thomas thought of his sister as he left the courtroom and glanced up at the brilliant sky. \u201cI vowed to try my hardest to assist you. He muttered, \u201cI hope I didn\u2019t disappoint you, Leah,\u201d his eyes welling with tears. At that moment, Joe bounded off the court and seized Thomas\u2019s arm. \u201cThomas, I will battle for the children because I am their true father. Don\u2019t let your victory overtake you too soon.\u201d With a scowl, Thomas withdrew his arm from Joe\u2019s hold. Joe, that\u2019s precisely the reason you\u2019re unfit to be their parent! It is better to struggle for the children\u2019s sake rather than for their sake. Satisfied that Leah\u2019s children were in good hands with him when he got home from the court, Thomas noticed his wife packing her luggage.\u201cWhat\u2019s going on, Susannah?\u201d Perplexed, he inquired. \u201cWhat\u2019s with all the packing at this time?\u201d She snorted, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Thomas,\u201d and closed the final bag.\n
\u201cHere you have three at once, and I\u2019m not even sure if I want children at all. Did you not win the case? After giving it some thought, I don\u2019t believe I want to live the next few years changing diapers. Thomas, I didn\u2019t get married to you for this. Apologies. After that, Susannah vanished. Thomas continued to be shocked that he was left on his alone to take care of his nephews as he surveyed the house. Frustrated, he took a bottle out of the wine rack, but as he was about to trash the cork, his eyes strayed to his phone\u2019s screensaver.His three young nephews were there to greet him. He couldn\u2019t just give up and let his grief consume him. I assured Leah that I would provide a happy life for them. This is beyond my abilities.\u201d He put the wine bottle back on the rack and turned to leave. The triplets\u2014Jayden, Noah, and Andy\u2014grew up under Thomas\u2019s tender care as the years passed quickly. Thomas cherished every second he spent with his nephews, whether it was changing the boys\u2019 soiled diapers or soothing them to sleep with his very flat voice. However, Thomas\u2019s physical and emotional well-being suffered as a result of their care, and one day he passed out at work. Dismissing it as a result of not getting enough sleep, he headed out to get his nephews from kindergarten.However, the man across from his house gave him the chills as soon as he saw him when he got home.\n
After five hard years, Joe was standing there on the pavement in front of Thomas\u2019s home. \u201cYoungsters, enter. Alright, I\u2019ll be joining you shortly. When the children entered, Thomas grinned. Then he went up to Joe. He growled, \u201cWhat the hell are you doing here?!\u201d \u201cHave you been stalking us all along?\u201d Thomas, I\u2019m coming to reclaim what is rightfully mine. \u201cI\u2019m here for my kids,\u201d he brashly acknowledged. \u201cYour children?\u201d Thomas sneered. \u201cDuring the five years I was raising kids, where were you? Joe, they were never yours in the first place. You abandoned them before they were even born, and now you\u2019re back to get them back? They are not your kids anymore. Get out of here!\u201d\u201cYou\u2019re not correct, Thomas,\u201d Joe asserted. \u201cI put in a lot of effort during those five years to build up my finances so I could take care of my kids.\u201d It\u2019s about time the kids returned home with their biological father, as I promised you I wouldn\u2019t give up!\u201d \u201cOh really?\u201d Thomas put him to the test. \u201cI\u2019ll wager the judge will be persuaded otherwise by the nice car you\u2019re cruising around in. Spend no more time wasting!\u201d Though Thomas was sure Joe wouldn\u2019t be able to get the kids back, he received a court summons a few months later. Even though reading it broke Thomas\u2019s heart, he plucked up the strength to show up to court. Joe\u2019s attorney called Thomas to testify at the hearing. \u201cIt has recently come to our attention that Dr. Spellman is on a very specific regimen of prescription medications,\u201d Joe\u2019s attorney stated. \u201cAfter consulting a medical specialist, I\u2019ve come to\u2014\u201d \u201cObjection, your honor!\u201d Thomas\u2019s attorney erupted in tears and stood up.\n
\u201cI will allow it since the guardian\u2019s health directly impacts these proceedings,\u201d remarked the court. \u201cThank you, your honor,\u201d Joe\u2019s attorney said as he turned to look at Thomas. \u201cDoctor Spellman, is it accurate to say that you have a brain tumor and that the physicians are unsure of your prognosis? And that a brain tumor is treated with this specific combination of drugs?\u201d Yes, Thomas said, hanging his head. He was taking medication to reduce the size of an incurable brain tumor that was actually found in him months earlier in order to prevent seizures. The judge listened to all sides, then cast a sympathetic glance at Thomas before handing down the ruling. \u201cThe court feels that it would be better for the children to be in the care of their biological father in light of the new circumstances. I hope you stay strong and well, Dr. Spellman, but if you really love these kids, you have to realize that this is what\u2019s best for them. As a result, I am giving the children\u2019s biological father custody. You\u2019ve got two weeks to get them ready.\u201d Even though Thomas knew what was coming the day he got the summons, he was determined to fight for his nephews and to keep his word to Leah.Thomas felt as though a heart had stopped beating in his chest as he prepared his nephews\u2019 suitcases for their final journey. His purpose for existing had been these children. \u201cWe would like to move in with you, Uncle Thomas! Kindly, Uncle Thomas,\u201d the children pleaded. \u201cGuys,\u201d remarked Thomas. \u201cUncle Thomas would never make a bad decision for you if you love him.\u201d Boys, Joe will make sure you\u2019re happy, and that\u2019s what I want for you. Could you quickly hurry and move your belongings to his car?\u201d\n
The three young boys didn\u2019t even look at Joe as they piled their suitcases into his car. As a matter of fact, they ran back and gave Doctor Thomas a leg hug. Jayden sobbed, \u201cUncle Thomas, I love you.\u201d \u201cI\u2026I don\u2019t want to leave you!\u201d \u201cWe want to live with you, too!\u201d Andy and Noah both burst into tears. \u201cHey, hey, guys,\u201d Thomas said as he knelt to address the children. \u201cHave we not struck a good bargain? On the weekends, I will visit you, and we will treat Daddy Joe well.\u201d Thomas swallowed his tears and gave the boys a firm hug. He tried to get away, saying, \u201cNow come on; Joe\u2019s waiting,\u201d but the kids gripped him even more tightly.Thomas had never been Joe\u2019s favorite. He really would have done anything to get his children back. However, something changed in his heart at that precise instant. Upon glancing at Thomas and the boys, he found it impossible to resist joining them. He gave them a hug and shook his head. \u201cYou were right all along, Thomas,\u201d he remarked. \u201cWe should not fight for the children but for their sake.\u201d Joe then assisted Thomas in bringing the boys\u2019 suitcases back inside the house.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
