After being missing for over 3 years, Andrew’s family suddenly starts seeing stories about him appear in the news. He is apparently in Australia, on the other side of the world, claiming that he had been kidnapped by aliens and spent all that time on another planet. And he has proof.

And when his wife finally finds Andrew again, she is shocked by the details in his strange story…

Everybody was amazed by these strange coins that Andrew was showing off, claiming that he got them from aliens. At first, people thought he was lying and that the coins were fake, just like his kidnapping story. But soon, they would find a lot more compelling evidence that he was actually speaking the truth…

For example, the coins were made from a strange metal that had never been encountered on Earth before. After a lot of research, the scientists conducting the investigation regarding his disappearance started to have doubts. What if he had not made it up and his story was true after all?

However, there was one more piece of crucial information that Andrew kept from the researchers. He only wanted to share it with his wife… And when he was reunited with her and told her the entire truth, she was completely shocked!

But what exactly had happened to Andrew? Where did those coins come from, and what secret did he reveal to his wife?

Andrew Long had been missing for nearly three years. He was a loving husband and father, with a very ordinary life. When he suddenly disappeared, many people around him were shocked… They wondered what had happened to him, and it would take them a long time to find out.

Andrew never had any enemies, debts, or other things that would make him leave so suddenly, without saying goodbye to his loved ones. He loved his family so much, and he would never leave them behind, no matter what! So, people were convinced that something had happened to him, and he had not left by choice…

His wife had tried her very best to keep the search for Andrew going for as long as possible, but after 5 months without any leads, the police simply could not justify continuing to look for him. It was costing too much time and resources. They had to assume that Andrew was dead at this point…

And for 3 years, that was the reality that Andrew’s family and other loved ones accepted. They tried to move on with their lives the best they could, but they never seemed to fully forget about the man they called husband, father, or friend. And then, one day, those memories instantly got pushed to the front again!

Andrews's son, Maliek, was actually the first one to see his father again. But it was not in a place he expected to see him whatsoever. He was just browsing Youtube and was going down a bit of an alien conspiracy hole, watching video after video of people making ridiculous claims.

And one of these videos completely stopped the young man in his tracks, and not for the reason you think. It came from an Australian “news” channel that was covering the story of a man who claimed to have been kidnapped by aliens and had spent almost 3 years on their planet. 

He was also showing very strange-looking coins, which he claimed were currency on the planet he had been living on. The story was very strange, but the reporter did note that he was getting a lot of the scientific facts right. All while he should not know about that at all…

But Maliek did not care about what the man was saying at all. He only cared about the man himself as he was 100% sure he was looking at his long-lost father, Andrew! He waisted no second and immediately showed the footage to his mother, Amanda, who couldn't believe her eyes.

She was just as stunned as her son, as there was no way around it. That was her husband! But what the hell was he doing in Australia after so many years, and why was he telling such a crazy story? Why had he not even bothered to contact them?

Amanda had so many questions, and she knew the only way to find out the truth was to confront her husband directly. She needed to get in contact with Andrew, sooner rather than later. But that would prove a bit more difficult than she had first expected…

She tried to get in contact with Andrew through every means of communication she had with him 3 years ago. Social media, phone, email, etc. But he didn't respond anywhere. Then she decided to send a message to the Youtube channel which posted the video; they must know more, right?

But here, too, Amanda found nothing but disappointment. Apparently, Andrew had approached them on the street with the story out of nowhere, and they had no contact information from him whatsoever. They literally only knew his name and where they had met him. This wasn't going anywhere...

And thus, that location was the only lead Amanda had to go on. The reporter had interviewed Andrew somewhere in Sydney, so Amanda knew that, if she wanted any chance of getting answers, she had to fly out there and look for her husband herself, no matter how crazy it sounded.

Meanwhile, Maliek had actually been looking for more recent videos that might feature his father's story, and he was actually finding a couple of them along with some news articles detailing how crazy it was. It was clear that Andrew was very eager to share his experience with multiple news channels.

Amanda ended up buying plane tickets for a flight to Sydney in 2 days' time. She made arrangements with her mother that she would watch the kids for the time she would be away, and took 2 weeks of vacation from work to look for her husband in Sydney.

She was very confident she would find him in the area where the reporter had encountered Andrew in the first place. By now, Maliek had also contacted all the other publishers of Andrews's story, and they all told a very similar story about the encounter they had with him…

Amanda had read all the interviews as well, and the story just baffled her completely. She had never once heard her husband tell stories about aliens before. He was normally not interested in things like that. He was way too matter-of-fact and serious for strange stories like this one.

But whatever happened to him in those 3 years time seemed to have completely changed him. And then those coins that he was showing off in every interview... Amanda had to admit they looked incredibly strange and “out of this world.” But they could not really be from aliens, could they?

The reaction to all the videos and written interviews seemed to be very mixed. A lot of people were laughing at Andrew and were sure that he was making everything up, while a good amount of other people believed his every word and were saying this was some of the strongest evidence for aliens in a while.

In the short period that the interviews were published, they started to gain a lot of attraction online. People were massively sharing this video about an alien encounter. You could even say that the story was going somewhat viral. And Amanda noticed that as well in her search for Andrew.

When she finally arrived in Sydney and made her way to the neighborhood where everybody was saying they encountered Andrew, she found that she was not the only person looking for him. Whole groups of alien enthusiasts were in the area, hoping to hear the story straight from Andrews's mouth.

But seemingly, nobody had any luck finding Andrew today. They were asking people who lived in the area and showed them pictures of Andrew. And while most people had seen him around here the past couple of weeks, it had apparently been a couple of days since his last sighting…

And this was, of course, a blow to Amanda’s confidence, but with all these people looking for Andrew, she knew he would be found eventually. And so she gave her number to all the alien enthusiasts and asked them if they wanted to call her when they found Andrew. And seeing her situation, they were more than happy to.

In the meantime, Amanda had arranged a meeting with the reporter that first broke the story that Andrew had told him. She wanted to know from him directly how her husband was doing at that time and what he thought about the whole ordeal when he first heard about it.

The reporter explained that he had heard many crazy stories in his time and that he did not believe 95% of what he posted online. But a lot of people did, and this had kept the lights on. But Andrew’s story was a bit different to him. Mainly because he saw how much Andrew himself believed in it.

You could tell by the way he was speaking that there was no doubt in his mind that this all really happened to him. Did the story sound ridiculous? For sure! But maybe there was still more than met the eyes. Andrew had to have done something in the years that he was missing.

Amanda was surprised to hear that the reporter thought Andrew truly believed the story he was telling. She had expected it to be some kind of act, but maybe she was wrong… There was only one thing she knew for sure, and that was that she wanted to find him.

As much as she wanted to see him, she was also angry with him. During those years that he had been gone, she was heartbroken. She couldn’t think of any reason why he would just leave her like that, and she assumed that something terrible had happened to him… And now, she found out that he was alive and well – and she couldn’t even reach him!

The last few days had been a rollercoaster of emotions, ever since her son showed her that video. She couldn’t believe that Andrew hadn’t even tried to reach out to her, or anyone else in his family… If his story was real, he surely could have called her after he “returned to Earth." 

Amanda was having a hard time believing the whole story, but she decided she didn’t want to focus on that now. The most important thing was to find him, and she would hear all about his experience later. However, she had no idea where to start looking, so she thought of a plan.

She gave the reporter her contact information and asked him to please keep an eye out for Andrew. They made a deal that he would contact his colleagues, and if he heard that anybody else heard of him, he would contact her immediately. Amanda thanked him and said goodbye – it was time to continue her search now.

She walked around Sydney, searching around places where she would expect to find him. She went to all of the restaurants that served his favorite kinds of food, all the hotels and motels she thought he might be staying in, and she even went to museums about things that interested him. 

Everywhere she went, she showed a photo of Andrew, hoping that somebody would recognize him and be able to tell her where he was. But sadly, nothing like that happened. Amanda looked for him for days, but nobody she spoke to even had a clue of where he could be.

She wondered if she would ever see her husband again. Despite her efforts, she still hadn’t been able to get in touch with him… And she noticed that he didn’t mention her, Maliek, or anybody else from their family in a single video or interview. Had he completely forgotten about them?

One night, she decided to stay in her hotel room. She was extremely tired, and she had looked for Andrew the whole day already, but now it was time to get some rest. She ordered some pizza, took a shower, and watched some tv before she went to bed. She would continue her search the next day.

Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. She jumped up and realized that she had fallen asleep on the couch. It was early in the morning, and the sun shone through the curtains. That's when Amanda realized what that loud noise was; it was her phone! Someone was calling her.

When she looked at the screen and saw the caller ID, she didn’t recognize the number. Usually, she didn’t pick up when an unknown number called her cell, but now it could have something to do with Andrew… So she picked up the phone and said, “Hello, who is this?”

She was surprised when she heard who was speaking on the other side of the call, but she was also relieved. It was the reporter who she had spoken to just a few days ago! He had to have some news; otherwise, he wouldn’t call her. Would he tell her where to find Andrew?

Wow, he is definitely not wasting any time, she thought. As it turned out, he had spoken to his colleagues, and Andrew had indeed reached out to one of them. They set a meeting to discuss the matter and maybe do another interview. Amanda thought about her husband. He had done so many interviews already!

She couldn’t help but find the whole thing really very weird. Her husband, as she knew him, never liked to be the center of attention. He hated speaking in public or in front of a camera. But now, he seemed to be eager to do as many interviews as possible.

But the reporter had even more news for her. His colleague felt sorry for Amanda and could only imagine what she had been through, so he wanted to help. He gave the reporter the location of their meeting, and asked him to pass it on to Amanda! She couldn’t believe it…

This was amazingly unexpected! She had given the reporter her number in case he heard anything new about Andrew, but she had never expected to hear back from him this soon, especially not with this kind of news. It was so much better than what she had initially hoped for!

She wrote down the address and time the reporter gave her on a piece of paper. “Thank you so much for this! I still can’t believe it,” she told him. Then she hung up the phone and got ready for the day. It was going to be a special one, after all.

She got dressed and ready, and then she looked up the address online. She still had a couple of hours left before the meeting was scheduled, but she decided to go there early anyway. That way, she could have a look around the place. It was always good to be prepared!

She took a cab and asked the driver to drop her off at a bus stop, close to the address the reporter had given her. She didn’t want anybody else to have the exact location, just in case… She also made sure that nobody followed her there. She needed to be careful!

Even though she had not been in any of the interviews herself, she had spoken to quite a few of Andrew’s fans, and they would probably recognize her, too. And she knew that she wasn’t the only one looking for him… She didn’t want anybody to see her, because they might follow her. And that would definitely blow her cover…

Upon her request, the other reporter hadn’t told Andrew about the fact that his wife would be there, too. She was going to wait until after the interview to go to him, and she wanted it to be a surprise. That way, she could see his genuine reaction to seeing her again. But that wasn’t everything…

Amanda was having serious doubts about her relationship with Andrew. From the short videos she saw of him online, he looked like a completely different person… He had always been loving and caring, but he looked totally off the rails now. And he still hadn’t gotten in touch with her or Maliek yet…

She didn’t even know what she wanted to say to him when she saw him, or how she would feel. Would she be happy, or angry? Would she laugh, or cry? All she knew was that she needed to see him as soon as possible, and the rest would follow. 

The address the reporter had given her was of a big park. Amanda found a good hiding spot in a coffee shop close to it, from where she could see the entire park. She ordered a latte and went into waiting mode. She would sit here for quite a while…

The hours crept by, and it was almost time for the meeting to begin. They still had about 10 minutes left when Amanda saw a man walk into the park, look around and sit down on a bench. He looked different from the other people who were just taking a walk in the park… Amanda figured that this had to be the reporter.

She kept an eye on him as they both waited for Andrew to arrive. She wondered how he would react to seeing her… She just hoped he would want to talk to her, and not run away immediately. She was thinking of many horrible scenarios in her head, and suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted.

The reporter wasn’t alone anymore. Someone had joined him on that bench… And when Amanda took a closer look, she realized it was indeed Andrew. She almost didn’t recognize him anymore. Her heart was beating fast, and her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her husband, alive and well, for the first time in years…

Her first instinct was to run to him, hug him, and then smack him in the face. But she controlled herself and stayed in the coffee shop. She would wait until he had finished the interview, and then she would walk over to him. Until then, she would just look at him…

It was so bizarre to her that she finally really found him. She still couldn’t realize that this was really happening, and she had no idea how this story would continue. After about half an hour, Andrew and the reporter got up and shook hands. This was her cue. They were done!

She had already paid for her coffee, so she hurried outside. She approached them from Andrew’s back, so he couldn’t see her yet. The reporter had already recognized her, and he tried his best not to give anything away, but Andrew must have noticed him looking behind him…

The next second, Andrew turned around. Amanda was just a couple of steps away from him. He looked her directly in the eyes, and she saw the absolute shock on his face. He froze and showed no other emotion at all… Amanda doubted whether she had made the right decision.

But then, it looked like Andrew suddenly woke up, and he ran over to her. He took her in his arms and whispered in her ear, “Ames, what are you doing here?” Amanda didn't know what to say but eventually answered, “I’ve been looking for you everywhere, Andrew. We thought you were dead.”

She couldn’t deny that she was a bit disappointed by his reaction. Secretly, she had hoped their reunion would be romantic, like in the movies, and he would pick her up and swirl her around, or something like that. But in reality, it was kind of awkward, and it made her sad.

After the reporter left, the two of them went back to her hotel room to talk. Amanda was happy to be reunited with her – alive – husband, but also angry at him for not getting in touch with her. And Andrew was truly surprised that she had found him… And he knew that he owed her an explanation.

They talked for hours in her hotel room that night, but it did not end the way they had hoped… Andrew confessed to his wife that the entire story of alien coins and other planets was fake. He made everything up! And his reason for doing so completely shocked her…

Those years ago, when Andrew disappeared? He ran away. He hadn’t told anybody about it, but he was tired of his life, and he wanted something new, something special, something adventurous. So one day, he just left and bought a plane ticket to the other side of the world. He hadn’t even packed a suitcase.

He hadn’t brought his phone or any other belongings, except for his passport and his wallet, and the clothes he had worn that day. He wanted a completely fresh start, and he thought he would be happier there. He had left without saying goodbye to anyone because he felt like people would not understand him, or be angry with him for leaving…

And at first, he was happy. His plan seemed to work. He enjoyed his life again, and he had high hopes for a happier future. He did all the things he wanted to do, he had fun, and he enjoyed himself. But after a while, that happiness started to fade.

He started to miss his old life, his family, and his friends. He even missed his old job! But he felt like he couldn’t just call them after all those years, and tell them, “Hey, it’s Andrew. I’m alive, I just ran away to the other side of the world for a while, but now I want to come home, and I need your help.”

So he thought of a way to make some money. He made those coins himself and made up the whole story around them. He hoped to gain just a little publicity in Australia, so he could finally sell the coins and have enough money to fly back home. But he hadn’t anticipated that his son would see that Youtube video…

Long story short, Andrew and Amanda flew back home together. They tried to work things out, but Amanda just couldn’t forgive him for what he had done. If he had just told her that he wasn’t happy, they could have found a way to make it work… But instead, he let everyone think he was dead.

They got a divorce, but they remained on good terms. Andrew learned from his mistakes and went into therapy, and he learned a lot from it. Maliek continued to live with his mom, but he saw his father regularly. Their relationship became better over time, and finally, they all went back to their normal lives again. The end!

Woman Goes To Doctor - The Doctor Called The Police After Seeing The Ultrasound

Lila had been feeling uneasy for weeks. Her stomach was bloated, and she had a constant feeling of nausea. She finally decided to visit the doctor. After a few tests, the doctor asked her to get an ultrasound. Lila's heart raced as she watched the screen while the technician performed the scan. Suddenly, the technician's expression changed, and she called for the doctor.

Lila’s heart pounded in her chest while she waited for the technician to return. She feared for her health and wondered what could be so wrong that she had to get a doctor. Lila waited anxiously, feeling a sense of dread creeping over her. She tried to distract herself by looking around the room.

Finally, the technician returned with the doctor. She showed him the screen while turning it away from Lila. The doctor looked serious, and after looking at the screen for a while, he simply nodded at the technician, who hurriedly left the room. Lila frowned. What the heck was going on?

Lila wiped the leftover gel off her stomach and sat up straight. She got dressed and wanted to walk out of the room, but the doctor stopped her. “I’m sorry, Lila, but you can’t leave. We’ve called the police….” 

But why was Lila in so much pain? Why was the doctor so secretive? And why did they call the police?

Lila (17) had been feeling uneasy for weeks. Her stomach was bloated, and she had a constant feeling of nausea. She desperately tried to ignore it at first, thinking it was just a stomach bug, but when the symptoms persisted, she started to worry that something was seriously wrong with her.

One day, while sitting in class, Lila felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. It was so sudden and intense that she doubled over in pain. Her classmates looked concerned and asked if she needed help. Lila was too embarrassed to say anything and quickly composed herself, telling them it was just a cramp

After class, Lila decided to visit the doctor. She had never been to the doctor alone before and was a little nervous. She tried to shake off her nerves and focus on getting the help she needed. When she arrived at the clinic, she checked in and sat down to wait her turn.

The waiting room was full of different kinds of people, and Lila felt self-conscious. She wondered if anyone could tell that she was sick. As she waited, she started to feel more and more anxious. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong with her and felt very alone. 

Finally, it was Lila's turn to see the doctor. She was escorted to a small room and asked to sit on the exam table. A female doctor entered the room shortly after and asked her what was wrong. Lila hesitated at first but eventually told the doctor about her symptoms.

The doctor listened attentively and wrote everything down. She really made Lila feel at ease and taken seriously. Then, the doctor asked her if she could do a physical. Lila wasn’t sure at first, but after another painful cramp, she agreed. So, the doctor performed the exam and asked her a few more questions.

One of the questions was about Lila’s sex life. Lila was almost too embarrassed to tell, but she had a loving boyfriend, and they always used protection. She was certain this couldn’t be a pregnancy, as she also had an IUD. The doctor agreed and told her to get an ultrasound at the hospital as soon as possible. 

Lila was a bit shocked by the referral. She had hoped to be done after one day, but now she had to find a way to skip school without them notifying her parents. Lila left the clinic feeling overwhelmed and scared. She had never been to a hospital alone before, and the thought of it made her anxious.

She knew her mother and father would both be working the next day, so she decided to call in sick for school. Usually, her mother had to call the school, but Lila had no other choice. It was very unlike her, but she had to pretend to be her mother. 

Lila always left the house before her parents, and because she didn’t want them to suspect anything, she did the same today. But instead of going to school, she hid in the garden shed. There it was quiet enough for her to call the school and tell them she couldn’t go today.

To Lila’s surprise, it worked, and as soon as her parents left for work, Lila stepped out of the shed and headed to the hospital. It was a short bus ride, but it felt like an eternity. Lila’s heart pounded in her chest when it was time for her to get out, and she slowly walked to the entrance. 

When she arrived at the hospital, Lila checked in and sat down to wait for her turn. She was surrounded by people with all sorts of ailments, and she felt even more nervous. She kept checking the time, hoping that her turn would come soon. But the wait was longer than she had hoped. 

The waiting room was filled with uneasy people and crying children. After waiting for thirty minutes, Lila walked over to the receptionist. She asked if her turn was almost coming up, but the receptionist couldn’t give her the specific time that a doctor would come. This only made her more nervous. 

Finally, Lila was called in for her ultrasound. The technician was kind and made her feel comfortable. She explained the procedure and what to expect. The technician placed a cold gel on Lila's stomach and began to move a wand over it. Lila watched the monitor intently, hoping to see something reassuring.

Lila had no idea what she was looking at. She only had an ultrasound once before at the gynecologist before they placed her IUD, but this ultrasound was different. She looked at the technician, but her facial expression gave nothing away. The pain was less prominent by now, and Lila hoped it would all be over soon. 

However, the technician's expression became more and more serious as she conducted the ultrasound. Lila's heart sank. Deep down, she knew something was wrong. But before she could ask what was going on, the technician told her to wait while she consulted with the doctor, leaving Lila all alone in the room.

Lila waited anxiously, feeling a sense of dread creeping over her. She tried to distract herself by looking around the room. It had different kinds of posters and flyers on the walls, but her eyes kept returning to the door. Then, finally, the doctor entered the room, and Lila braced herself for the worst.

The technician followed close behind the doctor and showed him what she had seen, turning the screen away from Lila. The doctor looked serious, and they talked about several things Lila didn’t understand. Finally, the doctor turned to Lila. “Lila, do you have somebody we could call? Your parents, maybe?” 

Lila was shocked. Why would they call someone for her? What was going on? The doctor could see she was scared and reassured her everything was fine. They just wanted to talk to her parents because of her young age. But Lila refused. She told them they could discuss everything directly with her. 

The doctor looked at the technician and simply nodded his head. After that, the technician left the room in a hurry. Lila wondered what that was about, and she desperately wanted to get up and leave, but she still had gel on her stomach that needed to be wiped off.

Lila had a horrible feeling in her stomach. There was something else going on that they weren’t telling her about. Why else would they want to call her parents? She grabbed a tissue and cleaned the gel off her stomach. The doctor noticed and assisted her. After that, she got dressed and wanted to leave the room.

The doctor shook his head and told her she couldn’t leave just yet. He asked if she could wait there for a while and he would come back soon to discuss the results. Lila didn’t like this, but she agreed to stay and wait. She needed to know what was going on anyway.

When the doctor came back, he had shocking news for Lila. He told her she would have to wait for a bit longer, because they had called the police. Lila couldn’t believe it. Tears gathered in her eyes, and she felt like she wanted to scream. 

She felt so alone and helpless. She just wanted to leave this place and go home! She asked the doctor what the heck was going on one last time, and demanded an explanation. What was happening to her and why did they need to involve the police?

The doctor knew that Lila needed to hear the truth sooner or later, and she deserved to know what was going on with her body, so he decided to just tell her.  When Lila heard the words coming out of his mouth, she froze in shock. “That’s… impossible!”, she exclaimed. She knew it could not be real.

The doctor told Lila she was pregnant. And because they couldn't contact her parents and Lila was so young, they had to call the police. But, Lila told the doctor she couldn’t be pregnant because she had an IUD, and it must all be a huge misunderstanding.

However, it was definitely no misunderstanding. The doctor and the technician had clearly seen the baby on the ultrasound and they were one hundred percent sure of it: Lila was pregnant. When they showed her the scan, Lila felt like she was going to faint. How could this be happening?!

The doctor explained that her IUD had dropped and because of that, it wasn’t working properly anymore. It had stopped working a while ago, actually – Lila was 10 weeks pregnant… She was still shocked, but the proof was there. She had to just accept it now.

By the time the police arrived, Lila had already called her boyfriend, Jonas. He had immediately come to see her and he wanted to be there for her. Lila was scared of what was going to happen next, and having him by her side did make things a bit easier.

When the police arrived, they just wanted to ask her some questions. Once they were sure that she and Jonas had a consensual relationship and she was safe, they offered them a ride back to Lila’s house. Lila had to mentally prepare herself for the conversation she was going to have with her parents.

Once they arrived at Lila’s house, she was just about to open the front door when her parents opened it instead. They had seen the police car in front of the house and they wanted to see why it was there. When they realized that Lila and Jonas had just stepped out of that same car, they gasped.

“Darling, are you okay? What happened?!”, her parents asked. Lila told them that everything was fine and they shouldn’t worry. But, of course, they worried. Lila explained that she was okay, but they just needed to talk about something… Something that would change their lives forever.

The four of them sat down at the kitchen table and everybody waited in silence for Lila to say something. She was very nervous because she didn’t know how her parents would react to the big news. She loved them and they had a good relationship, but they could be a little strict sometimes.

She was afraid of what was going to happen next, but she knew that she needed to tell them. She took a few deep breaths and held Jonas’ hand tight to comfort herself. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked at her parents, ready to tell the truth.

“Mom, dad… There’s something important I have to tell you.” They looked at her with a worried look on their face and nodded, as if to encourage her to continue speaking and tell them what she needed to get off her chest. She knew that she had to do it now – there was no way back anymore

She looked down at her stomach and put a hand on it, imagining the little baby that was growing inside of her. “I’m pregnant…”, she whispered. At first, her parents thought they misheard what she said. But when she looked them in the eyes, it became clear that they had heard her correctly.

Everybody was silent for a couple of seconds. It was dead quiet in the room and Lila held her breath as she awaited her parents’ reaction. She didn’t know what to expect, but never in a hundred years could she have imagined they would react the way they did…

They both looked at her with wide eyes, shocked and concerned. Lila held her head down and was already preparing herself for the lecture they would give her, but then, something unexpected happened. Jonas put his hand on her shoulder and she looked back up again, and saw that her parents’ expressions had changed.

Their faces were filled with joy, happiness and excitement. They smiled and extended their arms toward her, hugging her as tightly as they could. Their voices were filled with genuine happiness and both of them had started crying. Lila felt relieved – she had never expected them to react this way.

Then, her parents asked her a question that made her think. Was she going to keep the baby? She looked at Jonas and said she still had to make a decision. Her parents told her that no matter what she would choose in the end, they would support her. Lila was so happy that her parents were so sweet about it, she could cry!

They spent the rest of the evening looking at Lila’s old baby pictures, reminiscing about good old times. It was an emotional day and by the end of it, Lila was exhausted. She decided that she was going to talk to Jonas the next day – she wanted to make a decision together with him.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized she actually wanted to keep the baby. She knew that she was still very young, but she was slowly falling in love with the little life growing inside of her. And now that she knew her parents were so supportive, she knew she could count on them for help.

And Lila was also sure that she wanted to do this together with Jonas. He had always been supportive, but now Lila really knew that he would always be there for her, no matter what. He had been really helpful and comforting in the hospital, and she knew that he had her back.

The next day, Jonas came over as planned and they talked in her room. Lila was a bit nervous to tell him that she was actually thinking about keeping the baby, but she wanted to be honest with him. In response, he just hugged her and told her he agreed. They were going to do this together!

Jonas told her he was sure of it that they would do a great job together at raising their baby, and this only confirmed Lila’s thoughts. She was relieved to see that they were on the same page and they decided to tell her parents straight away. 

Lila’s parents were over the moon. They were so excited to finally become grandparents! They hadn’t expected it to happen this soon, but they were totally ready for it. They promised Lila and Jonas that they would be there for them during every step of the pregnancy, and that they could always come to them for advice.

Over the next few months, Lila’s relationship with Jonas, as well as her parents, significantly improved. She had a couple of interesting and deep conversations with her parents, and she got to know them a lot better. She was so thankful to have them by their side during her pregnancy.

Lila and Jonas decided that they didn’t want to know the baby’s gender until it was born. They agreed that since the pregnancy itself had come as such a surprise, they wanted to keep the baby’s gender a surprise as well. In the meantime, Lila’s stomach was growing like crazy.

As her due date was coming closer, Lila was getting increasingly nervous. She had obviously never done any of this before, and she could only think about all the dramatic births she had seen on television. She was a little scared, but she trusted that everything would be okay.

She noticed how her body changed and she became more and more aware of the baby growing inside her stomach. She was looking forward to finally meeting her beautiful daughter or son, and she felt more ready for it each day. There were only a few more weeks left until the big day… 

Lila took birthing classes together with Jonas, made a birth plan, practiced relaxation techniques and prepared herself in a way that felt right for her. All this helped her to relax and get ready for what was going to be one of the most special days in her life so far.

A few days before her due date, Lila was watching tv at home when suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She was immediately worried – she had felt cramps before, but this was a different kind of pain. It was much worse! What was going on?!

She was home alone – her parents were at work and Jonas was in school. She called her mom, panicking, and her mom immediately came home. As Lila stood up to grab a glass of water, she felt another cramp in her stomach. It was so painful that she dropped the glass of water and spilled it all over the floor.

She groaned, annoyed that she had to clean up the water while she was in so much pain, but then she froze. She looked at the glass on the kitchen counter, and she saw that it was still full! She gasped and looked down at her feet in a puddle of water on the floor, completely shocked. This could only mean one thing.

Her water had broken! Her mom arrived just at the right time and drove her to the hospital immediately, and Jonas and her dad also came as soon as they could. By the time they arrived, she had gone into active labor. She was a little scared, but she knew she was in good hands.

She was in a lot of pain and it was only getting worse, but she was relieved to have Jonas by her side. And she knew her parents were waiting outside and if she wanted to see them, she could. All this helped her relax a bit, and she felt ready for what was about to come next.

As time passed, everything became a blur. The pain was horrible and nurses were walking in and out of the room. Suddenly, a doctor came in and told Lila she could get ready to push now. Lila knew that this was it – the moment had come!

She gave it all she had in her and pushed as hard as she could. It felt endless and she felt like she had no strength left inside her body, when suddenly, she heard something. It was a very special sound and she had not expected to hear it this soon.

Lila looked at the doctor, and she saw that he was holding a baby. Her baby! It was crying and after a few moments, the doctor gave it to Lila. She saw that it was a beautiful girl and she and Jonas decided to name her Sarah.

Sarah was a strong and healthy baby and she could go home the same day. Lila was very tired, but once she got home, she could rest and take all the time she needed. She recovered quickly and she and Jonas got to know their little daughter a bit better every day.

Even though Lila and Jonas were so young, they were great parents and their families were proud of them. They both finished school and got married, and a couple of years later, they expanded their family! They had another child, their son Steve, and they all lived a happy and healthy life.

Woman Looks For Shoe But Finds Best Friend Under Her Bed

Nicole was sweating, and a bit nervous, but most of all she was excited for tonight. She was so excited that she had left her new pair of shoes in the house. She groaned, how had she picked up the wrong pair? They were a gift from her boyfriend and she had been waiting all week to show them to her friends. Deciding there was no other choice, she turned back the car and headed home to get the right pair. 

Nicole got home a few minutes later. At this rate she was bound to be late for dinner, running up the stairs she called to her boyfriend before opening the door to their bedroom. “Where did I put them?” she called to herself before bending below the bed to take a look. Nicole screamed, she couldn't believe her eyes... “Angela?”

Nicole is sitting on her knees with her mouth wide open. She is staring into the eyes of her best friend who she just discovered under her bed. Both seem so completely stunned to silence that they can’t even speak. All she can think is: What is Angela doing here?

Angela gets out from under the bed and hands Nicole the shoe she was looking for. Turning completely red and stuttering, Angela manages to say “I think this is what you were looking for”. Regaining her composure a little bit, Nicole asks her friend what in god's name she is doing here?

A million different senario’s start racing through Nicole’s head and the longer Angela stays silent, the worse they get. “Nicole please, I can explain…”. But Nicole thinks she already has a pretty good idea..

So what exactly was going on? Why laid Angela under Nicole's bed? And why didn't her boyfriend find her?

Nicole Holmes was a young lady in her late twenties. She was kind and funny and enjoyed spending time with friends and family. She worked as an executive for a travel agency and worked very hard at her job. Nicole's life was going great, but what Nicole didn't know is that she was in for a world of surprise...

The surprise would be coming from a place that she least expected: her boyfriend, Steve. Nicole and Steve had been together for five years, the couple met at a local charity event and hit it off right away. Soon they were coupled up and going on dates, however, Nicole had a worry about Steve she couldn't shake off... 

In the first few years of their relationship, Steve had felt very distant from Nicole. It seemed as though he was working hard not to take their relationship to the next level. But suddenly, a few years ago he had changed and become even more devoted than before. Now they were living together and even planning to start a family soon. A plan that had stumbled in the past few months...

Although Nicole and Steve had only met each other five years before, they had grown up in the same city and both worked there until a job opportunity had come up for Steve. Since Nicole worked for a large company she was able to request a move with no issues. However, she would have to take on more hours but her work life was the least of her problems...

The relocation to a new city had proven very tough for Nicole. While Steve was able to maintain contact with a lot of his friends who were mobile. Nicole was struggling to do the same, with the extra hours added on at work Nicole was finding it hard to take the time to see her friends, especially her best friend, Angela...

Angela Smith and Nicole had been best friends since they had both met and attended the university in their city. The two ladies had been the closest of friends as they shared a lot in common. Angela, who had not seen or heard from her friend in weeks, began to worry that their friendship had reached its end.

Since Nicole and her boyfriend, Steve had moved away a few months ago Angela had not heard from either of them. Angela frowned, now that she thought about it the last time she had seen Nicole was at their moving party. She was debating whether or not to reach out when she got a text... 

Angela couldn't believe her eyes, the text was from Steve. What did Nicole's boyfriend need from her? She had only talked to him a few times, and she only really considered him a friend because he was dating Nicole. Plus, he had never texted her before. Angela grimaced, had something happened to Nicole?

Luckily, nothing had happened to Nicole. Steve had just been checking on Angela since she had not been around Nicole lately. He told her he just wanted to see how she was doing. But Angela quickly started to suspect that something else might be motivating Steve...

When Steve told Anglea his intention, she was caught off guard at first. But the more she thought about it, the more she started to warm to the idea. But they would have to find a moment to meet when Nicole wasn't present. She wondered what the best way to go about this was.

Nicole spent most of her time working from home and Steve himself was often at work on location. Meeting there was not an option. Even if Nicole went away unexpectedly, it was way too far for Angela to just swing by. Then Angela got an idea. She would have to engineer Nicola not being present...

Angela planned on having their friend group invite Nicole over for dinner. She knew Nicole had been struggling to keep in touch with not just her, but with all their friends and knew that she missed them. She would feel way too guilty to turn down an invitation. But would it work?

Once she shared her idea with Steve the two agreed it was a solid plan and decided to set things in motion. Angela texted their group chat the idea and mentioned how it would be great to see everyone together after a long time. The girls were excited and eager to plan the dinner.

Soon the girls were planning the dinner party and gushing over their excitement at finally being able to catch up with Nicole and each other. Angela, on the other hand, had no intention of going, she’d made plans to call in sick that evening and “miss” out on the gathering. 

Nicole was exhausted, she had been so caught up in work that she hadn’t had much of a social life in the past few months. She often watched as Steve headed out to chill with his friends while she stayed home on some longer meetings. Then a text from her friend group popped up on her phone...

It was an invitation to attend a dinner party her friends were hosting for her. Nicole was so excited, she texted her best friend Angela to thank her for planning the dinner. Although Nicole felt a little guilty for not speaking to her friend it made her happy to know Angela still cared for her...

The dinner was set for a weekend two weeks from the date. Nicole was pumped and excited to see her friends, the months that had gone by without them had been difficult and she couldn't wait to share some of her worries with them. Sadly, she had no idea what was truly going on...

Nicole is also considering maybe spending the night in the city so she can stay a little longer at the dinner. This however is something that she is not comfortable with and the only place she can think of doing this is at her best friend Angela's house...

To Nicole's surprise, Angela tells her that this is not possible. Apparently, she already has her brother staying over that evening and thinks that 3 people would be a bit much in her tiny house. Nicole finds this a very weird reason not to let her come over.

Why does it matter if the house is a bit cramped for just one night? And since when is Angela in good contact with her brother again? Not sure what to think about all this, Nicole decides to just leave it. It doesn't really matter if she has to go home after dinner anyway

Nicole was still so excited for her dinner that she bought a new dress for the occasion. Seeing how happy she was, Steve got her a new pair of very nice heels to wear. They looked great with the dress. Finally, the day arrived and Nicole sped out of the house eager to make the 1.5-hour drive to their hometown.

At that very moment, just a few blocks away from Steve and Nicole’s house, Angela was hiding in her car. She had texted their friend group last night to apologize for being too sick to make it. And now, she was a few seconds away from her plan succeeding!

Angela was thinking back to the text conversation she had with Nicola a couple days ago and felt so stupid. Her brother? She had not seen him in forever, and Nicole knew that! She was just happy that Nicole didn't ask any more questions about it and seemed to believe it...

A few seconds later, Nicole drove away from the house and Steve sent Angela the signal to come into the house. Getting out of the car she crossed the street and the two hugged in the doorway. It had been a while. They couldn't believe their wild plan had actually worked and were excited to get started...

Angela has brought a big suitcase with her. Steve is somewhat surprised to see it. He knew Angela would bring some stuff with her, but seemed like a bit overkill. But Angela claims is going to need it if everything will work out as she had planned. She can barely contain her excitement…

After a bit of catching up together, the pair realizes that there is no time to lose and spring into action. They only have a short evening together before Nicole gets back. Steve clean’s some final things up downstairs while Angela already makes her way upstairs

In anticipation of Steve coming up, Angela wanders around the second floor a bit. She stops at the main bedroom and goes in. What a mess it’s in here! That is the Nicole she knows and loves. A little cheeky smile comes over her face, but she also starts to get somewhat nervous…

Her heart is starting to pound a bit faster now. Was she making the right decision here? Still stuck in thought and doubting what she was doing, she suddenly hears Steve yell from downstairs: “Hide! Nicole is already back!”

Angela is frozen for a second and then starts to panic. Why was she already home? She was supposed to be away until at least midnight. She couldn’t even have made it halfway to the city by now. Was she maybe suspecting something after all?

When Angela hears the front door opening and quick feet coming up the stairs, she has very little time to think. The only place she can think to hide is under the bed and quickly makes under it. She just hopes Nicole doesn’t find her. How would she even explain this to her?

Mere seconds after Angela made her way under the bed, she sees the bedroom door open and 2 bare feet enter. She immediately knows it’s Nicole and Angela is holding her breath. Could this be it? Could her perfect plan all fall to pieces now? 

Moments earlier, Nicole is still making her way to the dinner party with no intention of returning home any time soon. She is so excited to finally see her friends again! But then she realizes that she might have forgotten something in her rush, she tries to call Steve but he doesn't pick up his phone...

She is wearing the new fancy dress she bought for the occasion, she forgot to put on the heels she got from Steve! She is still wearing her old sneakers. She quickly turns the car around and heads back home. Luckily she is only 10 minutes away

Nicole speeds on the way back and when she gets home she almost jumps out of her car. She sees that Steve notices her through the window, but to her surprise, he doesn’t make his way to the door to open it for her. What is he doing?

After scrambling to get her keys, she quickly opens the door herself and that is when Steve makes his way to her. He almost nervously asks what she is doing home so soon. She had told him that it would probably be well past midnight before she returned.

Nicole explains that she has forgotten the nice heels he had bought for her and shows him that she is still wearing her old sneakers while she is taking them off. Steve offers to help her search for them, but Nicole already knows exactly where they are. Upstairs in their bedroom!

Before Steve can do anything to stop her, Nicole is already rushing up the stairs, in her mind, there is no time to lose. Steve is still standing downstairs unsure of what to do now. Does he follow her and try to lead her away from Angela, or just hope that she is hidden well? 

Nicole makes her way into the bedroom. For a second she deeply regrets her messy way of life when she sees all the piles of clothes on the floor. How is she ever supposed to find her heels here? She takes a deep breath and starts searching.

After a little bit of searching, Nicole manages to find the first heel, but the second one just seems to have disappeared into thin air or something. Then Nicole realizes there is only one place she has not yet looked and makes her way over to the bed…

Angela is watching everything unfold. She gets more and more nervous every second that Nicole spends taking the room apart. So far she has not been discovered, but she doesn’t know how long this luck will last. The stress is becoming almost unbearable...  

When Nicole first entered the room, Angela feared that she might actually be looking for her. Maybe she had given herself away with her excuses. But when she saw Nicole pick up one of the heels, she quickly figured out what was going on. 

Angela tried to keep herself calm with the idea that all Nicole had to do was find the other heel and she would be on her way. Her plans were not off the table just yet. There was still hope that everything would work out as planned. But then she noticed it…

While Angela was waiting, she started to look around a bit and saw the heel Nicole was looking for. It was under the bed with her! Before she could even fully comprehend what was happening, she already saw Nicole bending down on one knee...

Moments later she was face to face with her best friend, looking her straight into each other's eyes. She could not speak a word, but Angela knew it was all over now. How was she going to explain this? Was there any way of saving this situation? 

Nicole could not believe her eyes. Angela? What was her best friend doing under her bed? She thought she was sick at home. How did she even get her? A million scenario’s started playing in her head before a word was even spoken. And none of those scenarios were positive...

Having gone completely red now Angela gets out from under the bed and hands Nicole the missing heel. “I think this is what you were looking for…”. Nicole doesn’t even stick her hand out to get the missing heel from Angela, so she puts it on the bed. 

Nicole tries to regain her composure a bit because she believes she has figured out what was going on and is about to explode on Angela. How could she do this to her? Her best friend! But before she can go off on her, Angela starts trying to explain herself... 

“I know what it looks like, but it is not what you think. I didn’t come here for Steve, I came here for you!” Nicole doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this stupid excuse. But this is also the moment Steve walks into the room and Nicole’s focus shifts.

Nicole starts screaming at Steve. “Are you cheating on me?! How could you do this to me?! With my best friend?!” Steve is very much taken aback by this. “Absolutely not! That is not why Angela is here at all!” Then they start explaining everything…

Steve had contacted Angela a couple days earlier because he had noticed how much Nicole was missing Angela lately. But Steve also knew his girlfriend very well and figured she was too afraid of rejection to plan something with Angela herself.

Steve had told all this to Angels and they came up with a plan to surprise Nicole. Angela would come to the house when Nicole was away and install herself in the guest bedroom. This with the intention of spending a week together with her best friend.

Because Nicole was working from home so much, they figured that this was the perfect place to spend time with Nicole. Angela had even taken a week off work for this so all her undivided attention could be for Nicole and enjoying their time together.

The friend group was also in the know of this surprise, so they knew Angela would cancel at the last minute to set up the surprise. It would have been the perfect end to a perfect day if Nicole came back home from dinner and found Angela there.

Angela’s suitcase which was filled with clothes and everything you need for a short vacation, alongside the text messages between her and Steve, was all the evidence Nicole needed. She burst out in tears, but these were most definitely happy tears!

They decide that Angela would join Nicole for the dinner, which was still happening, while Steve prepared the guest bedroom for Nicole. In the week that follows, Nicole and Angela manage to rekindle their friendship to the fullest and start meeting up a lot more often afterward!

Woman files for divorce after seeing this photo

In every family, the members have at least some secrets from each other. Some small and insignificant, and some so damning it could tear a family apart...

When Sara becomes increasingly suspicious of what her husband Mark is doing behind her back, she crosses every previously established boundary to find the evidence she needs to prove her suspicions.

But when she finally comes across a photo that seemingly gives her all the answers she needs, she is shocked by the unbelievable reality of the situation and sees no other option than to file for a divorce immediately...

Sara grabs the crumpled-up piece of paper on which Mark wrote down the password to his computer. She hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but felt like she had no other choice. She has to see what is on these photos and…

After a little bit of searching, Sara finds the folder she was looking for. She takes a deep breath and opens it. A wave of surprise and confusion hits her. This was not what she expected to find. She clicks on one of the photos and then she suddenly sees it…

She can’t believe it. She never thought Mark was capable of something like this. How could he do this to their family?! Tears are starting to stream down her face…

But to better understand Sara’s extreme reaction, a bit of backstory is required...

At first glance, the Millers seem to be a relatively normal American family consisting of Mark and Sara, and their 2 young children. But while the family may seem normal now, they definitely haven’t always been. A lot went on beneath the surface nobody knew about…

Sara has been together with Mark since she was only 15 years old and thus the pair have kind of grown-up together it seems. After they met, They got really close really quickly and there was a good reason for that...

Sara first met Mark when she and a couple of friends went to hang out at an old warehouse where a lot of young people were squatting. This was a local spot that often had parties going under the police’s radar and was thus very popular in the small town.

By that point, Mark himself had been living at the warehouse for only a couple of weeks. When Sara and her friend, along with some other people, arrived, he was very quiet at first and didn’t look for contact. He sat alone outside of the building most of the time that night. 

The other squatters that had lived in the warehouse much longer told Sara and her friends that this had been the case ever since he got there. They weren’t a fan of his antisocial behavior but weren’t going to send a 16-year old away who had no place else to go...

The more time Sara was spending at the warehouse and the later it got that night, the more interested she got in Mark. Something about his looks and mysterious demeanor seemed to really draw her in. She felt like she couldn't keep her eyes off him and made her move...

Sara decided to take Mark apart and away from the group to see if he would become more talkative when he was one on one. The warehouse was pretty big so they had a lot of space to just wander around and talk. And Sara wasn’t disappointed by her making this move... 

When it was just the 2 of them, Mark quickly dropped his shy demeanor and he actually seemed to be really interested in Sara. They had a good and long conversation, all while Mark didn’t reveal much about himself. But he did give Sara a little bit of information…

Apparently, Mark relocated to this town from somewhere across the county and had no intention of ever going back. But he didn’t want to say why this was or where he came from exactly. At that time, Sara didn’t ask more questions about it, but maybe she should have...

When Sara got home, she could not stop thinking about Mark. He didn’t leave her mind for days on end and wanted to see him again as soon as possible. They started to meet up often and quickly fell in love. But it would prove to be far from a perfect relationship…

Sara eventually even took Mark home to meet her family and her parents also quickly took a liking to the shy, but a polite young man. But they were caught off guard when Mark explained his situation and knew that had to do something to help him out.

Sara’s parents didn’t like the idea of a 16-year-old boy squatting in an old warehouse with a load of strangers. After a lot of deliberation and Sara convincing them she really loved Mark, they made a big decision that would save Mark from his precarious position…

They took Mark into their home and in the time that Mark lived with Sara at her parents' house, their relationship really started to blossom. Soon after moving in, Mark found a side job and was able to afford to go to photography school. Something he had always dreamed of doing. 

When he finally got his photography degree about 3 years later, he was gifted a great camera by Sara’s parents and with it, he quickly found a lot of work as a freelance photographer, building quite a good reputation for himself.   

He started to earn increasingly good money and it didn’t take long for the pair to be able to afford a down payment on a small apartment in which they could live and start building their life together. Everything seemed to be fantastic for the young couple. But was this actually the case?

The couple were slowly building up their lives together over the next couple of years, there were still some things that were starting to bug Sara. Something that Sara has had trouble with from the very first moment that she met Mark up to the present day...

By the time she and Mark had been together for years, but he was still very secretive about his past and it was starting to worry Sara more and more. What could he be hiding from her or what was so difficult for him to talk about? 

Sara had asked him to tell her more on multiple occasions but was always met by the same kind of reluctant responses. Mark claims that he doesn’t have a family anymore and that it hurts too much to talk about everything. He just wants to forget about it all...

At this point, Sara had just accepted it as the reality of the situation. Mark had been this way ever since she knew him and he was probably never going to change. But luckily, this secretiveness was one of the few flaws Mark had in her eyes and she could live with it. At least for now...

When the pair had been in a relationship for about 7 years, had their first child together, and now had another one on the way, they decided they were ready to get married. Sara hoped that she would maybe finally meet some of Mark’s family at the wedding…

But, maybe not to Sara’s surprise but definitely to her disappointment, Mark had only invited his friends to the wedding. And it was also only the friends he had met in the time that she knew him. Not a single person was there that had known Mark from before he moved to the city at the age of 16.

But overall, this didn’t really bother Sara that much. They had a great wedding with or without his family and they had it fairly good together in general. Not just emotionally or romantically, but also financially. Mark was making some big steps in his professional career. 

In all the time that had passed sinds Mark graduated as a photographer, his reputation had only gotten bigger and better and he now had a plethora of well off customers willing to pay him handsomely for his services. And what also helped, was that Mark was very willing to make “any” kind of photos…

Sara was of course very happy for Mark personally but also that this success meant that money was never a concern for the growing family. But there were some aspects of Mark's work that Sara got less and less comfortable with the more he did it...

The first thing was that Mark often flew all across the country for his work, which meant that he could be away multiple days leaving Sara alone with their son and later their baby daughter. Sara was a full-time mom at the time so she could handle it, but missing Mark so often became increasingly difficult for her.
