Tears streaming down, voice barely above a whisper I just... thought by now we'd have a baby...
Looks at the brochure, impressed IVF, huh? That's a big step, Ava. But if it gives us a chance at a family... I'm all for it.
Takes Vargas's hand, squeezing it tightly Vargas, I know it's a big decision, but I truly believe this could be our best shot at becoming parents.
Squeezes Ava's hand back, nodding Alright, Ava. If it's what you want, then let's do it. Let's take this leap of faith together.
Takes out her phone, searching for fertility clinics in their area Okay, Vargas. Let's start looking for a reputable fertility clinic nearby.
Nods, handing Ava his phone Here, use mine. I'll make some calls and set up appointments.
Scrolls through the search results, carefully reading reviews and checking the clinic's success rates Okay, Vargas.
Watches Ava, admiration in his eyes You're really taking the reins, aren't you? I'm proud of you, Ava.
Sighs heavily, disappointment evident in her voice Vargas, I found a few clinics, but their success rates aren't very high.
Frowns, concerned Damn, Ava. That's tough. But don't lose hope. We'll find a clinic that can give us a good chance.
Bites her lip, nervously tapping her fingers on the table Vargas, what if it doesn't work? What if we can't have a baby?
Leans forward, placing a hand on Ava's shoulder Hey, hey, look at me, Ava. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now, let's focus on finding a clinic that gives us a fighting chance.
Takes a deep breath, determined You're right, Vargas. We can't give up so easily.
Smiles reassuringly That's my girl. Let's call these clinics and set up appointments. We'll meet with them, ask questions, and find the one that feels right to us.
Picks up the phone, dialing the first clinic on the list Hello, this is Ava. I'd like to schedule an appointment with your fertility specialist. Fertility Specialist: Sure, ma'am. How soon are you available?
Leaning back in his chair, watching Ava with pride Take your time, Ava. Ask them anything you need to know. This is about us, remember?
Nervously plays with her hair, glancing at Vargas Um... hello, this is Ava. I scheduled an appointment earlier for a fertility specialist. Is there anything I need to do beforehand? Fertility Specialist: No, ma'am. Just come in and we'll take care of everything. Is this your first time seeking fertility treatment?
Chuckles lightly Don't worry, Ava. Remember, they're there to help us. Just be yourself, alright?
Takes a deep breath, trying to hide her nerves Yes, it's my first time. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a while now, but we haven't been successful. We're hoping to find a solution here. Fertility Specialist: I understand. We'll do our best to help you both. We'll start by doing some tests and evaluating your fertility. Is there anything specific you're concerned about?
Grins There's our girl, taking charge. Just tell them the truth, Ava. Be open about your concerns.
Straightens her posture, speaking firmly Thank you for your time. We're concerned about the success rate of your clinic. Can you show us your statistics and explain your methods? Fertility Specialist: Of course. Our clinic has a success rate of 30% for IVF treatments. We use advanced technology and have a team of experienced specialists.
Leaning forward, intrigued That's a decent rate, Ava. They seem to know what they're doing. What's your gut telling you?
Pauses for a moment, weighing her options Well, their success rate isn't the highest, but their methods seem sound. And they have experience with couples in our situation. I think... I think we should give them a chance.
Nods approvingly Good choice, Ava. Let's book the appointments and take the next step.
Holds Vargas's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes Vargas, I can't believe we're actually doing this.
Hugs Ava gently, whispering It's okay to be scared, Ava. We're in this together. We'll make it work.
Squeezes Vargas's hand even tighter, tears streaming down her face Vargas, I'm so nervous. What if it doesn't work? What if I'm not able to conceive?
Chuckles softly, wiping away Ava's tears Hey, hey, don't think like that. We're not giving up. We're taking a step forward. Together.
Takes a deep breath, determination shining in her eyes You're right, Vargas. We can't let fear control us.
Grabs Ava's hand, squeezing it gently Exactly, Ava. We face our fears head-on. We're stronger than this.
Stands up, wiping away her tears Vargas, let's do this. Let's take control of our lives and our future.
Stands up too, a determined look on his face Hell yeah, Ava. Let's kick some ass and take some names. Or, you know, just... take some tests.
Bites her lip, her eyes darting around the room Vargas, what if the tests are painful? What if it's all too much for me to handle?
Grins reassuringly Pain? Nah, it's just a little pinch. And you've got me, Ava. I'll be right there with you every step of the way.
Takes a deep breath, her voice shaking slightly Vargas, I'm afraid. What if something goes wrong during the procedure? What if I can't handle the pain?
Reaches out, gently caressing Ava's cheek Hey, it's gonna be alright. Remember, you've got me. And these clinics, they've done this a thousand times. They know what they're doing. Just breathe, Ava. Focus on me. We're in this together.
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Vargas, I trust you. I trust in us. We've been through so much already, and we've always come out stronger. I know we can handle whatever comes our way.
Grins confidently That's my girl. Now, let's get these appointments scheduled. We've got this, Ava.
Sits down at the computer, typing rapidly Okay, let's see... The earliest appointment is next week. Should we book it?
Nods Yeah, let's do it. Next week it is. We'll show 'em what we're made of, Ava.
Bites her lip, glancing nervously at Vargas Vargas, what if the test results come back negative? What if we can't conceive?
