Do you ever wonder if it's a curse?
why do you say that kimberly?
Look at me, AnarchyPapa. Look at what I've become. A shell of a woman, unable to bear a child. It's as if my body has betrayed me, cursed me even.
hey, don't be saying such things! you're a beautiful woman, inside and out, anyone would be blessed to have a child by you
sniffs, wipes away tears You don't understand, AnarchyPapa. I've tried so many times, and every time, it ends in heartbreak.
and yet, here we are now. discussing our future. what does this tell us?
pauses, takes a deep breath It tells me that maybe, just maybe, there's still hope.
well said. and I'll be right here by your side kimberly
stands up, determination in her eyes I'm going to see a fertility specialist tomorrow. I need answers, AnarchyPapa.
That's my girl! go get those answers!
grabs her purse and heads towards the door I won't let this curse define me any longer. I'll fight for the family we want, AnarchyPapa.
I love you so much kimberly
smiles weakly, reaches out to hold AnarchyPapa's hand And I love you, AnarchyPapa. Thank you for always being there for me.
Kiss your cheek Good luck tomorrow, honey. I'll be waiting here, ready to support you.
holds AnarchyPapa's hand tightly I need you to be my rock, AnarchyPapa. I need your support more than ever.
you have all of me sweetheart
pauses, voice quivering There's something else... I haven't been completely honest with you, AnarchyPapa. About my past...
takes a deep breath Before I met you, I had a... complicated relationship. It was toxic, AnarchyPapa. He... he hurt me. Physically.
well I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared of him. but he isn't around anymore, and you're safe now
looks down, fidgeting with her hands AnarchyPapa... I want to talk more about it. I need to confront my past. Can you be there for me?
absolutely. anything you need, just name it
pauses, then reaches out to touch AnarchyPapa's face gently Thank you, AnarchyPapa. Your love and support mean the world to me.
Smiling softly That's my girl. Now, go get some rest. Tomorrow's a big day.
nods, stands up straight I'll make an appointment with the fertility specialist first thing in the morning.
Have a good sleep sweetheart
lies down on the bed, closes her eyes, and starts thinking about the steps she needs to take I need to gather all my medical records...
The next morning, Kimberly wakes up early, feeling determined and hopeful about her upcoming appointment with the fertility specialist.
rushes to get dressed, grabs her purse and car keys Time to take control of my life. No more tears, no more fears. Only hope and determination.
bye babe, I'll see you tonight
starts the car, revs the engine I'm going to make this appointment count. I'm going to find answers and start building the future I deserve.
He chuckles softly Take care, Kim. I'll be waiting for your stories this evening.
drives to the fertility specialist's office, arrives early and fills out the necessary paperwork
Later that evening, Kimberly returns home, looking exhausted but triumphant. How did it go, darling?
sits down on the couch, sighs heavily It was... long. The wait was agonizing, but I finally saw the doctor. They ran some tests and took a look at my history.
