After My Best Friend Had a Baby Instead Me, I Broke Up with My Boyfriend

Seven years together, and Clarence Simmons and I had both agreed on a child-free life. But both sets of parents wanted grandchildren, so they'd refused to let us marry.

Then, on our anniversary, both families got all mysterious and said they'd set up a surprise for me at a hotel.

I thought they'd finally come around, that they'd teamed up with Clarence to propose.

Instead, I pushed open the door of the private dining room, and my best friend Elaine Henson tossed an ultrasound photo at me and announced she was carrying my boyfriend's baby.
