I called the attorney, Dana Whitcomb, from the hospital room.

She agreed to meet me by video that afternoon.

Before the call, my phone lit up with a message from Colton.

Come to your senses.

Dad can get the hospital to release Theo to me.

Sign the agreement and this goes away.

Attached was a document bearing the title POSTNUPTIAL PROPERTY AND PARENTAL AGREEMENT.

The file had been sent to me at 2:16 a.m., while I was still recovering from labor.
