Jessica and Megan had been inseparable since high school.
They celebrated birthdays together, traveled together, and even joined the same gym after making a New Year’s resolution to get healthier.
Neither of them expected that one decision would change their friendship forever.
The gym quickly became part of their daily routine.
They signed up for personal training sessions and were assigned to the same trainer, Daniel.
Daniel was charismatic, knowledgeable, and had a way of making every client feel motivated.
Over several months, both women developed a friendship with him.
Eventually, Daniel began spending time with Jessica outside the gym.
He assured her he was single and interested in getting to know her better.
Unknown to her, Daniel was telling Megan the exact same thing.
He met each of them separately, carefully keeping the relationships hidden.
Whenever Jessica mentioned going on a date, Daniel claimed he was busy with work.
When Megan asked why they couldn’t meet on weekends, he always had another excuse.
Jessica believed she was building a future with Daniel.
Eventually, both women learned they were pregnant.
Each planned to surprise Daniel with the news.
One afternoon, Jessica attended a routine prenatal appointment.
