Navy Husband Finds Out His Wife Was Keeping A Secret That Would Change Their Lives

When U.S. Navy sailor Chris Daugherty said goodbye to his family in January, he had no idea that his five months deployment would end up lasting a lot longer. He’d been abroad before and he had been away from his family several times.

But knowing it will be only for a few months, Chris couldn’t wait to be back. Little did he know that he’d have a shock when he came back home.
