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.

“Inhale 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. “You’re in… As they walked into the operating room, she said,

“Thomas, you’re the best older brother I could ask God for.”At just 36 weeks into her pregnancy, Leah went into labor, and the physicians recommended a cesarean delivery. But Leah’s condition deteriorated shortly after giving birth to her first child, and her pulse started to decrease. “Leah, come hang out with me! Nurse, what is going on? Leah, look at me! Thomas sobbed, his hands encircling his sister’s, “Look at me.” As she led Dr. Spellman outside, Dr. Nichols remarked, “Doctor Spellman, you need to leave, please.” The OR doors were then forcefully closed.With unending sobbing, Thomas collapsed onto a chair in the waiting room. 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’s voice interrupted his reverie. He jumped up and said, “Doctor…how…how’s Leah?” “We sincerely apologize, Thomas,” Dr. Nichols stated.

“Despite our best efforts, we were unable to halt the bleeding. The kids have been moved into the NICU and are safe.”Thomas collapsed back into the chair, not knowing how to take in the news of his sister’s 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?” The sound of a voice echoed in the corridor, disappointing Thomas. “Where on earth is she? She believed that I wouldn’t know if she delivered the children.”When Thomas witnessed Joe, his sister’s ex-boyfriend, storming into the hospital, his fury knew no bounds.

“Where is your sister?” Joe snarled.Grabbing the man’s collar, Thomas trapped him against the wall. “You 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’s passed away! My sister never made it to see her children!” “Where are my kids?

I’d like to view them.” Joe let out a cry and wrenched Thomas’s arms away. Joe, you dare not even mention them! “Leave my hospital, or I’ll notify security!” Thomas forewarned him. “OUT!”“Thomas, I’m going to get my kids back, but I’m leaving now! Joe shot out,

“You can’t take them away from me,” and he left the corridor. Thomas felt he couldn’t sit and lament his sister’s 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.

“This is unfair, your honor!” On the witness stand, Joe yelled and faked tears. “The kids’ father is me. Without such tiny lives, how would I manage to survive? They are everything I have right now—they are Leah’s flesh and blood as well as MY flesh and blood.”The judge said, “Let me get something clear,” to Joe. “Leah, 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, “Well, you’re not wrong, your Honor.” “I take on modest jobs and act as a handyman. We never got married because I couldn’t afford to support her.” “Pardon 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,” the attorney for Thomas stated. “And she refused to marry him unless he entered a rehabilitation program.” The judge was persuaded by the attorney’s presentation of the facts that Joe was unfit to raise the children, and the court ruled in Thomas’ favor.

Thomas thought of his sister as he left the courtroom and glanced up at the brilliant sky. “I vowed to try my hardest to assist you. He muttered, “I hope I didn’t disappoint you, Leah,” his eyes welling with tears. At that moment, Joe bounded off the court and seized Thomas’s arm. “Thomas, I will battle for the children because I am their true father. Don’t let your victory overtake you too soon.” With a scowl, Thomas withdrew his arm from Joe’s hold. Joe, that’s precisely the reason you’re unfit to be their parent!

It is better to struggle for the children’s sake rather than for their sake. Satisfied that Leah’s children were in good hands with him when he got home from the court, Thomas noticed his wife packing her luggage.“What’s going on, Susannah?” Perplexed, he inquired. “What’s with all the packing at this time?” She snorted, “I’m sorry, Thomas,” and closed the final bag. “Here you have three at once, and I’m not even sure if I want children at all. Did you not win the case? After giving it some thought, I don’t believe I want to live the next few years changing diapers. Thomas, I didn’t 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’s screensaver.His three young nephews were there to greet him. He couldn’t 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.” He put the wine bottle back on the rack and turned to leave. The triplets—Jayden, Noah, and Andy—grew up under Thomas’s tender care as the years passed quickly. Thomas cherished every second he spent with his nephews, whether it was changing the boys’ soiled diapers or soothing them to sleep with his very flat voice. However, Thomas’s 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. After five hard years, Joe was standing there on the pavement in front of Thomas’s home. “Youngsters, enter. Alright, I’ll be joining you shortly. When the children entered, Thomas grinned. Then he went up to Joe. He growled, “What the hell are you doing here?!” “Have you been stalking us all along?” Thomas, I’m coming to reclaim what is rightfully mine. “I’m here for my kids,” he brashly acknowledged. “Your children?” Thomas sneered. “During 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’re back to get them back? They are not your kids anymore. Get out of here!”“You’re not correct, Thomas,” Joe asserted. “I put in a lot of effort during those five years to build up my finances so I could take care of my kids.” It’s about time the kids returned home with their biological father, as I promised you I wouldn’t give up!” “Oh really?” Thomas put him to the test. “I’ll wager the judge will be persuaded otherwise by the nice car you’re cruising around in. Spend no more time wasting!” Though Thomas was sure Joe wouldn’t be able to get the kids back, he received a court summons a few months later. Even though reading it broke Thomas’s heart, he plucked up the strength to show up to court. Joe’s attorney called Thomas to testify at the hearing. “It has recently come to our attention that Dr. Spellman is on a very specific regimen of prescription medications,” Joe’s attorney stated. “After consulting a medical specialist, I’ve come to—” “Objection, your honor!” Thomas’s attorney erupted in tears and stood up. “I will allow it since the guardian’s health directly impacts these proceedings,” remarked the court. “Thank you, your honor,” Joe’s attorney said as he turned to look at Thomas. “Doctor 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?” 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. “The 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’s best for them. As a result, I am giving the children’s biological father custody. You’ve got two weeks to get them ready.” 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’ suitcases for their final journey. His purpose for existing had been these children. “We would like to move in with you, Uncle Thomas! Kindly, Uncle Thomas,” the children pleaded. “Guys,” remarked Thomas. “Uncle Thomas would never make a bad decision for you if you love him.” Boys, Joe will make sure you’re happy, and that’s what I want for you. Could you quickly hurry and move your belongings to his car?” The three young boys didn’t 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, “Uncle Thomas, I love you.” “I…I don’t want to leave you!” “We want to live with you, too!” Andy and Noah both burst into tears. “Hey, hey, guys,” Thomas said as he knelt to address the children. “Have we not struck a good bargain? On the weekends, I will visit you, and we will treat Daddy Joe well.” Thomas swallowed his tears and gave the boys a firm hug. He tried to get away, saying, “Now come on; Joe’s waiting,” but the kids gripped him even more tightly.Thomas had never been Joe’s 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. “You were right all along, Thomas,” he remarked. “We should not fight for the children but for their sake.” Joe then assisted Thomas in bringing the boys’ suitcases back inside the house.
