When Nikki agrees to co-parent with her ex, Stan, after discovering she’s pregnant with twins, she doesn’t expect his new partner, Ursula, to treat her like a surrogate.Stan had broken up with Nikki gently, claiming he needed to explore things with his ex, Ursula. Nikki accepted it until she found out she was pregnant. Stan was thrilled, especially since Ursula couldn’t have children. He said he wanted to be involved, and Ursula? She just wanted to “support the process.”
But support quickly turned into control.Ursula and Stan visited Nikki’s home with a list of demands: home birth, formula feeding, shared custody from day one, and the babies would call Ursula “Mama.” Stan stayed silent while Ursula dictated. Nikki realized then this wasn’t co-parenting. This was Ursula trying to take over.Soon, Ursula was texting Nikki daily with unsolicited advice, appointments, and name suggestions.
She hijacked a genetics appointment and even tried to attend Nikki’s ultrasound instead of Stan. When Nikki posted a quiet pregnancy photo, Ursula threw her own baby announcement on Instagram complete with a gender reveal Nikki hadn’t even had.Then came the breaking point: Ursula and her mother, Julie, showed up at Nikki’s door and suggested Nikki give Ursula one of the babies.Instead of screaming, Nikki smiled coldly and said she’d agree if Ursula became a surrogate for her future dog.
The message was clear: her children weren’t accessories to be split or gifted.Ursula didn’t take it well. Days later, she showed up at Nikki’s job screaming, smashing windows, terrifying toddlers. Police arrested her, and Nikki immediately filed for protection. She cut ties, moved across the country, and started over.Even after that, Stan and Ursula tried to reach her. But with new charges and restraining orders, Nikki made her peace. Alone but safe, with her twins growing strong, she finally felt in control again.She doesn’t need their chaos.Just herself and the two little lives she’s bringing into the world.
