Dr. Spellman adopted his sister’s triplets after she d*ed during childbirth. But five years later, his world flipped…

But the victory came at a cost. His wife, Susannah, left him, admitting she wasn’t willing to raise three children. Alone, Thomas nearly broke under the weight of grief and responsibility. Yet every time he looked at the boys, he remembered his promise to Leah. He pushed through sleepless nights, school pickups, and scraped knees—determined to give them the life their mother dreamed of.

Five years later, Thomas thought the storm had passed—until he saw Joe watching from across the street. Claiming to be sober with a steady job, Joe demanded to be part of the boys’ lives. Thomas stood firm. “You didn’t rock them to sleep, or sit through doctor visits. I did. They’re happy, they’re safe—and I won’t let you break that.” Joe threatened court, but Thomas knew he had years of proof showing who the real parent was.

When official custody papers arrived a month later, Thomas felt fear—but also resolve. Joe might have biology, but Thomas had something stronger: five years of love, sacrifice, and memories. The boys called him “Dad.” And he was prepared to fight for that title forever.
