A woman is stunned when she finds a carved arrow in the cradle she bought for her unborn child—and inside, a map that leads to a new life.Gina Halloran was having one of the darkest days of her life. Her mother had passed away three months ago, and when she told her boyfriend she was pregnant, he bailed. Now, she stood outside a second-hand store, hand on her belly, staring at a cradle. “I’m alone,” she whispered, a tear slipping down her cheek.

Then, she felt a flutter. Her baby. She wasn’t alone. Straightening her shoulders, she went inside.“Hi, Mr. Torrance. Any new cradles?” she asked.He smiled and led her to the back. “Just got this in yesterday. Set it aside for you.”It was beautiful—carved wood, fairytale-like. “It’s gorgeous… but I don’t think I can afford it.”“I’ll let you have it for $50,” he said softly. “Just clean it well.”

That night, as Gina oiled the cradle, she found a carved arrow on the headboard. Curious, she felt underneath and discovered an envelope taped to the bottom. Inside were two old keys and a map with a red circle over a house. On the back, it read: “Use it in good health and happiness.”A treasure map?Half an hour later, she stood in front of a Victorian mansion. The first key opened the front door. The lights worked. The home was dusty but stunning. Upstairs, she found a nursery—and a second cradle identical to hers. Above it, a portrait of a couple with twin boys.

On the second cradle, another arrow—this one pointing up. Gina looked at the portrait again, took it down, and behind it was a safe. She used the second key.Inside: a deed to the house in her name, a note asking her to restore it and keep the heirlooms, and a parcel full of cash.She wasn’t alone. Someone loved her.Then, she found a photo of a girl holding a teddy bear—her mother’s bear. The boy beside her looked familiar.The next day, she confronted Mr. Torrance. He confessed a private detective had paid him to sell her the cradle and gave her a business card.

Three days later, she sat across from an older man—the boy from the photo. Her father.“I didn’t know about you,” he said. “My parents sent me to France when they found out about your mother. I only learned of you six months ago.”“Why didn’t you just call?” Gina asked.I thought you’d hate me…”I need you,” she said. “We need each other.”In time, they grew close. At her next ultrasound, Gina got surprising news: twins.She used both cradles—and her father found family again through her little boys.
