My husband went on vacation without me just days before my scheduled C-section with our twins — when he came home, a special surprise from me was waiting for him.

My husband, Trevor, and I were overjoyed when we found out I was pregnant with twins.

But the pregnancy was really difficult.

My doctor told me I'd need a scheduled C-section.

As my due date drew closer, the doctor even set an exact date.

The doctor warned us that recovery after a C-section could be difficult, so Trevor needed to be prepared to help me with everything around the house and with the babies.

Instead, he came up to me and said:

"Honey, my friends and I decided to go on vacation by the ocean.

What could be better, right?"

My jaw practically dropped.

I said:

"Trevor, my C-section is scheduled in just A FEW DAYS.

I can barely get out of bed.

How could NOW possibly be the right time for a vacation?"

He just shrugged and said:

"I want to relax before all the crying, diaper changes, and everything else starts.

I'll be back for the C-section.

What's the problem?"

He stood his ground and kept repeating that he wanted to rest before the babies arrived, even though he could see that I was struggling just to walk across the room to get a glass of water.

He left anyway, even though I begged him to postpone the trip.

My mom came over to help me around the house.

And just a few days later, exactly as planned, I was admitted to the hospital for my scheduled C-section.

Meanwhile, Trevor was posting photos of himself seated on the beach, sipping cocktails almost 1,200 miles away.

So, as you can probably guess, he DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK for the birth.

I gave birth to two beautiful baby girls.

By the time I was discharged from the hospital and came home, Trevor was already supposed to be back from his vacation.

I didn't text him.

I didn't call him.

But he wasn't going to escape responsibility.

He needed to learn his lesson.

I invited SOMEONE to our house on the day Trevor was supposed to return.
