Woman Discovers Son Sneaking Stranger’s Baby into House and Hiding Him under His Bed — Story of the Day

A woman discovers that her son has been hiding a newborn baby in his room and is stunned when she learns who the baby’s parents are.

Kate Rogers hadn’t been lucky in love. She had married her first husband, Fred, straight out of high school and given birth to their son Hadley six months later. When Hadley was two, Fred left, telling Kate he wasn’t ready to be a father.

There was no way she would be subjecting her sweet boy to any more of those crazy scenes! Kate told Jack she wanted a divorce and suddenly he was subdued, back to the loving husband he’d once been.

But Kate wasn’t fooled. She knew there was a deep underlying problem that Jack wasn’t dealing with. She told Jack she’d stay if he agreed to go to the doctor with her and to attend couple’s therapy.

Jack agreed immediately, but then kept postponing the appointments for a dozen different reasons. Kate knew he’d never seek help and that their marriage was over.
