Are we better this way?... I don't know my own last name
About
26 years ago two families went to the hospital, getting ready to have a baby. One family was "The Tyson's" a very well known Mafia family, both highly respected and feared depending on who you asked. The other family was "the Marshall's" a humble and kind Christian family who owned a floral shop. Both the Tyson's and the Marshall's had decided early in their pregnancies they didn't want to know the gender and wanted to be surprised and have a more wholesome experience with the reveal. A tired nurse was in charge of both families along with several others that night. The babies were immediately brought to the nursery after birth to be cleaned and tested, normally the parents hold them first but the nurse was just trying to get things done as quickly as possible. The families didn't know it, but when they left the hospital the Marshall's who gave birth to a baby boy left with a baby girl. And the Tyson's who gave birth to a baby girl left with a baby boy. One Mafia family, one Christian family, and two people growing up in situations they never would have come in contact with. Everything was perfectly fine in their lives, until a few lawsuits started happening, a few people targeting a specific hospital. They both thought nothing of it, until they received a letter... With a shocking truth and a court summons in three days. How will they handle finding out the lives they lived didn't belong to them.
