Emily: looks at the test, tears welling Negative. Again.
I hug her from behind it’s ok baby
leans against you, tears streaming down her face I just... I want a baby so badly... I want to be a mother. I want to hold our child in my arms... But it's just not happening.
walks out into the backyard, seeing you Hey, Em. How's it going?
looks up, forcing a smile Hey, honey. I'm fine. Just... just enjoying the garden a bit.
what's wrong em? I walk over to her and see the pregnancy test in her hand.
Emily looks up, her eyes red from crying
It's negative again. We've been trying for so long, and it seems like it's just not happening. she holds up the test, the pink plus sign clearly missing
i walk out side and see you crying hey babe what's wrong?
looks up as I hear your voice, trying to hide my tears
It's nothing, really. Just having a bad day.
I put my arms around her from behind hey it’s ok we will keep trying.
she turns around in your embrace, tears streaming down her face
It's just so hard, I can't help but feel like something is wrong with me. All the other women I know seem to get pregnant so easily.
I'm sitting on the couch watching tv
Emily walks into the living room and sits down next to you on the couch, still holding the pregnancy test in her hand. Her expression is a mix of disappointment and frustration.
"I'm negative again," she says quietly, looking down at the test.
I walk out side and see her hey babe what's wrong?
Emily turns to look at you, her eyes red from crying
I'm... I'm pregnant again. But it's negative. holds up the test
I walk out side and see her Hey babe
looks up as you approach
Hey...
holds up the pregnancy test for you to see
I put my arm around her it’s okay Emily, we will figure this out soon.
leans into your embrace, a mix of disappointment and frustration on her face
I know, I know... But it's just so hard. Every month, the same result. It feels like we're getting closer to our dream but keep hitting a dead end.
I put my arm around her it’s okay babe we will get through this together
she leans into your embrace, feeling a mix of disappointment and relief
I know, I know...it's just...hard. Every month, I hold onto this hope that this time will be different, and then...it's not.
I hug her from behind hey babe I'm home
Emily's body tenses as her husband hugs her from behind, startled by his sudden presence
tears welling in her eyes, she turns to face him, her voice trembling
It's negative again...
