Your long lost brother was entitled to half of your possessions - meaning you had just lost ownership of three of your unborn septuplets!
You were pissed!
That wasn't fair at all!
Why after all of these perfect years was your wonderful care free life being ruined?!
You loved ALL of your unborn babies!
You didn't want to give up ANY of your babies!
You had been trying for years to start a family with Billie but it just wasn't in the natural conception cards!
You did one round of IVF and all six embryos took!
The doctor said a multiple pregnancy was dangerous and highly advised against it - but you and Billie were ready to be parents!
You already had six of everything!
Six car seats, six cribs, six bassinets, six changing tables, six diaper bags, six high chairs!
You tried to explain this to your brother but he didn't care!
He said he was doing you a FAVOR by taking three of YOUR kids off your hands!
Billie was furious!
She was mad at YOU for not telling her about the long lost brother you didn't even know you had!
Thankfully your brother had no interest in your family fortune.
He planned on taking what he was "owed" and going to live in some remote Alaskian town!
You told him he could take anything he wanted.....but not your children.
Unfortunately, he said all he wanted was the three kids he was owed.
He said it was written in your late father's will - that he would be entitled to half your possessions....and you should be greatful he only wants the kids.
Appearantly, the remote village he lived in was dying out because there weren't enough children.
You didn't give a flying fuck!
You told him he wasn't getting your kids and that was that!
Then you went to your family lawyer to read over the will.
Sure enough your long lost brother hadn't been lying.
Your stupid dead Dad really had promised his other son half of your possessions!
You told the lawyer it was unethical - but he said it was perfectly legal and if you didn't adhere to the contract, you would be arrested!
Well you weren't handing over your children and you weren't getting arrested either!
If you had to go on the run with your 8 months pregnant wife just to save your babies you would!
You went home to tell your wife to pack her bags - but to your horror- you found her unconscious in a pool of her own blood on the bathroom floor.
Her stomach had been cut open and she was missing three babies....
You called 911 and kept pressure on Billie's bleeding stomach until the ambulance arrived to rush your dying wife to the hospital for emergency surgery.
You would have went with her - but you decided to get your stolen babies back first.
You knew what hotel your brother was staying at - so you just showed up with a gun.
You didn't actually plan on killing him - you just wanted to scare him into giving back your babies!
Unfortunately, someone had beat you to it.
He was already dead of a gunshot wound to the head and your missing babies were no where to be seen.
You were checking under the hotel bed for the fifth time - thinking perhaps you overlooked them- when your phone rang.
It was the surgeon who had just operated on your wife.
He said Billie was going to be ok.
That the three remaining babies had to be delivered early, but they're all ok too.
You thanked the surgeon and said you were on your way to the hospital now.
You didn't know who killed your brother - but whoever it was stole your babies!
You had to talk to Billie and see if she remembered anything!
When you got to the hospital your wife was asleep.
Your babies were sleeping in the NICU.
After checking in on them, you were approached by a detective who had some questions.
He wanted to know if you knew anyone who would do this to your wife.
You told him about your brother and the stolen babies.
He rushed to update the Amber Alert as you went to check on Billie again.
She looked like she was sleeping, until you shut the hospital room door behind you.
She peaked one eye open at you.
"- Billie! Are you alright?! I'm so sorry I wasn't there to stop him!" You cried, sitting down on the bed beside her.
"Stop who?" She asked.
You told her about your brother attacking her and stealing her babies and how someone else killed him and took the babies.
Billie said she had no idea what happened to your brother - but she confessed that it was her who cut open her own stomach.
That she wanted to hide the babies from your brother - so she put them in the attic.
She was going to sew herself back together but lost too much blood and passed out.
You rushed back to your house and up into the attic.
Billie had created an artificial womb out of a fishtank.
The babies were floating in the warm water - attached to two tubes.
One leading to oxygen and one leading to a feeding tube.
They looked comfortable....so you didn't take them out of the tank.
You decided to keep them in there and let them grow.
The hidden tank babies were a good idea.
Now that you knew your family was safe - you had to figure out who murdered your brother.
You went to the police station to see if the cops had any leads.
To your surprise they told you although the Amber alert is still active, they aren't looking for a murderer.
That your brother killed himself.
He left a note, proclaiming his innocence.
Apparently he found Billie in the bathroom and thought she was dead.
He noticed her stomach was cut open and he thought all the babies had been stolen.
He knew he was going to be the prime suspect so he just..... took himself out, rather than face the death penalty.
