Hudson
Thursday
The drive home from the clinic was supposed to be cathartic. It was my
alone time, my personal time, the time of the day when I wasn’t
Hudson, the dad, or Hudson, the doctor. No matter how much I loved
my son and my job, I needed this moment of the day to decompress, to shift
gears.
However, as I clutched the steering wheel with white knuckles in the
thick Boston traffic, it felt anything but.
Things had been going well for too long. I knew that. I knew there’d be
highs and lows, calm and unrest, but I just didn’t have the energy today. Not
after I’d had to sit an optimistic woman down and tell her that the treatment
wasn’t working, that it likely wouldn’t take, and watch as she cried against
her husband’s soggy shirt. Not after I’d spoken to prospective parents who
had lost their son—three years old, the same age as my Jamey—and wanted
to try again. I didn’t like having to give bad news to my patients. It hurt,
especially when most of my job was giving the best news that couples
wanted to hear.
That was the highlight of my day, my week, my profession.
I lived for it, I loved being able to tell them they were expecting. But after
today, I needed the promise of a relaxing evening.
Instead, I’d gotten a cryptic text from Jamey’s nanny. “I need to talk to

I knew the drill already.
Driving past row after row of flashy houses and fancy cars, I pulled into
my driveway, pressing the button on the sun visor that opened up my threecar garage. Beyond the house, the sky was drenched in blood-orange, little
strips of fleshy pink freckled between the thin clouds. The day was winding
down, soon to be over, and I’d have to start all over again tomorrow, fresh
in the knowledge of whatever Jenny was going to drop on me when I
walked through the door.
I positioned my Porsche next to my other two
vehicles—a Range Rover for towing the boat and a Mercedes AMG. I
dropped my forehead against the curve of the steering wheel, measuring my
breaths to keep myself calm as I savored the last few seconds I had before
having to switch back to dad-mode.
One. Deep breath in.
Two. Exhale.
Three. Deep breath in.
Four. Exhale.
My fingers found the handle of the door before I’d gotten to five.
Clearly, my body had decided it was go-time.
I clutched my phone and its goddamn ambiguous text message in my
palm as I walked up the driveway, sidestepping an upturned bucket and a
miniature, plastic excavator. The latch on the door turned as it registered my
phone in its proximity.
I blew out a breath as I turned the handle, the rush of air tickling the
scruff that had grown on my upper lip. Definitely need to shave tonight.
“Daddy!”
“Hey, hey, finish your carrots first!”
Jamey’s little emerald eyes lit up in excitement as I stepped through the
door. He sat at the kitchen island, his tiny feet swaying back and forth,
