Then one ordinary Sunday at a playground split my world wide open.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Lana. When I was pregnant, I was told from the beginning it wouldn\u2019t be easy. By 28 weeks, I was on modified bed rest for high blood pressure. Dr. Perry kept repeating, \u201cStay calm, Lana. Your body\u2019s working overtime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every night, I placed my hands on my stomach and whispered, \u201cHold on, boys. Mom\u2019s right here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The delivery came three weeks early. I remember bright lights, urgent voices, someone saying, \u201cWe\u2019re losing one,\u201d and then nothing.<\/p>\n<p>When I woke up, weak and disoriented, Dr. Perry stood by my bed with that careful, distant look doctors wear when they\u2019re about to change your life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so sorry, Lana. One of the twins didn\u2019t make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They placed only one baby in my arms. Stefan.<\/p>\n<p>I never saw the other.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<p>I signed forms I barely understood. A nurse guided my hand. \u201cYou need to rest,\u201d she murmured. \u201cYou\u2019ve been through enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I believed them.<\/p>\n<p>I never told Stefan about his twin. I told myself silence was protection.
