Chris Daugherty, a US Navy man, was deployed to the western Pacific. The following week, his wife Natasha discovered she was pregnant with their fourth child.
At first, Natasha told Chris to call her so she could deliver the news during his deployment. But then she changed the plan — and came up with the sneakiest idea possible.
Natasha decided to keep the pregnancy a secret until Chris returned from deployment six months later. It was no easy feat, but Natasha made sure to cover her tracks. She hid her growing baby bump in Facebook photos. And she kept quiet about the pregnancy whenever she Skyped with Chris.
