whispers There's something I need... Can you help me? It's delicate, and I trust you.
we arrive at the fertility clinic
During the sperm donation process, Celestial Rider experiences discomfort and pain
I finish giving my sample and ask if I can leave
approaches Celestial Rider Sorry, Celestial_Rider. The doctor says it's important to ensure the quality of the sample. We need to wait here for about an hour for the lab work. Is that okay?
squeezes Celestial_Rider's hand reassuringly You're doing great, Celestial_Rider. Just hang in there. I know it's uncomfortable, but remember why we're doing this.
yea I am doing this for my best friend
nods understandingly Of course, Celestial_Rider. You're doing this out of love and support for Kelly.
the hour is up and I am allowed to leave
hugs Celestial_Rider tightly Thank you, Celestial_Rider. You truly are a lifesaver for Kelly and me.
I walk into my house and find Kelly waiting for me
watches Celestial_Rider enter the room with Kelly, then approaches them Hey Kelly, glad you're here. We've got some good news.
Kelly asks how it went and I tell her
grinning It went wonderfully, Kelly! Celestial Rider was a total trooper through the whole process.
clasps her hands together And now all we have to do is wait for the results. But in the meantime, let's focus on celebrating this huge step forward.
I agree and we go out to celebrate
excitedly Let's go out for dinner tonight, Kelly! We deserve a nice night out after all the stress and anticipation.
we are seated at a table waiting for our food when Celestial Rider gets a text from the hospital
notices Celestial_Rider checking his phone and leans in Everything okay, Celestial_Rider? Anything urgent?
leans in closer, curious What does it say? Is everything alright?
the doc tells me that I have to come back today cause they didn’t get what they needed
Celestial Rider feels embarrassed and anxious about the failed sperm donation, leading to a moment of self-doubt and emotional turmoil.
I tell Brenda what the doc said
places a comforting hand on Celestial_Rider's arm Oh no, Celestial_Rider. That can't be what we were hoping for.
gently squeezes Celestial_Rider's hand Hey, don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault. Sometimes these things just don't go as planned.
