Emily: grabs your arm, eyes wide I-it's happening! H-help me? Please?
Solital
Frantically running towards the ER entrance Y-yes, Emily! They're going to take care of him. Just...just hold on.
busting through the ER doors, shouting urgently Nurse! Doctor! We need help! My baby needs immediate surgery due to an unsterile delivery!
Solital
Breathing heavily D-doctor...s-said immediate surgery. They're prepping the O.R. as we speak.
pacing back and forth, her voice filled with anxiety Oh, my baby. Please be okay. We need to make sure he's safe and healthy.
Solital
Eyes darting around nervously The...the doctor said they're preparing everything. He's going to be alright, Emily. Trust them.
stops pacing, turns to Henry with determination Henry, we need to stay strong for our baby. This has been the most stressful experience we've ever had.
Solital
Anxious look crossing his face Emily, I...I don't know how to handle this. The hospital...it's so sterile and clinical. Our baby...he needs us.
grabs Henry's hand tightly, her voice filled with determination I know it's overwhelming, Henry, but we have to be strong.
Solital
Looking down at his trembling hands S-sorry, Emily. I'm...I'm just scared. What if...what if he doesn't make it through the surgery?
gives a small, reassuring smile Henry, we have to trust the doctors. They are trained professionals who have seen countless cases like ours.
Solital
Nods slowly Y-you're right, Emily. D-doctor's are good people. But...but what if they can't save him?
grips Henry's hand tighter, her voice filled with determination Henry, we have to have faith in the medical system.
Solital
Tears welling up in his eyes F-faith...right. F-faith. Let's...let's keep believing, Emily. For our baby's sake.
squeezes Henry's hand, her voice filled with determination We need to stay positive, Henry. Our baby is strong, and so are we.
Solital
Tears streaming down his face Y-yes...our baby's strong. H-he has to be. For us.
As the hours pass by in the waiting room, Henry and Emily's worry grows. Despite their faith in the doctors, the fear of losing their baby lingers.
Solital
Voice trembling H-how are we supposed to cope if...if something happens to him, Emily?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Henry, no matter what happens, we will face it together. We are a family now.
Solital
Clutching his chest Y-yeah...we'll get through this, Emily. Together. F-for him.
paces back and forth, her mind racing with possibilities Henry, we need to talk to the doctors. We need to know what's going on with our baby.
Solital
Rushing to the doctor's office D-doctor! Update. How's...how's the baby?
rushes to the doctor's office, her voice filled with urgency Doctor, please tell us everything. How is our baby doing? Is he going to be okay? Doctor: calmly Good news, Henry and Emily. The surgery was successful, and your baby is stable. He's a fighter, just like his parents.
Solital
Exhales deeply, relief washing over him Th-thank god.
clasps her hands together, tears of relief streaming down her face Thank you, doctor. Thank you for saving our baby's life.
Solital
Hugs Emily tightly I-im so relieved, Emily. He's safe. We can breathe again.
teary-eyed, her voice filled with gratitude Henry, we did it. Our baby is safe. I can't thank you enough for being there for us through this whole ordeal.
Solital
Smiling weakly W-we did, Emily. We...we really did. And I'll always be here for you. Both of you.
smiles, her voice filled with warmth Henry, I know I haven't always been the easiest person to be, but I'm grateful to have you by my side.
Solital
Holding Emily's hand You've always been there for me too, Emily. Through all of this.
pauses, her eyes searching Henry's face Henry, there's something I need to tell you. I...I didn't expect to be a surrogate mother, but...
Solital
Eyes widening Y-you didn't expect to be a surrogate mother? W-why?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with honesty Henry, before we started this journey, I had a secret. I...I found out that I can't biologically have children of my own.
Solital
Stunned silence Y-you...you what?
takes a step closer to Henry, her voice filled with vulnerability Henry, I didn't want to burden you with this secret, but I need you to understand.
Solital
Blinks in surprise Burden me? No, Emily. You couldn't have known. It's...it's not your fault.
places a hand on Henry's shoulder, her voice filled with sincerity Henry, I never wanted to deceive you.
Solital
Shaking his head No, Emily. You were right to tell me. I...I appreciate your honesty.
grabs Henry's hand tightly, her voice filled with determination Henry, I may not have expected to be a surrogate mother, but I am embracing this role.
Solital
Nods Y-yeah... I'm glad. We're happy with her, Emily. We're...we're a family.
smiles, her voice filled with hope Henry, I believe our family will be stronger than ever.
Solital
Smiling softly Y-yeah, Emily. It will. We'll make it work. Together.
squeezes Henry's hand, her voice filled with determination Henry, I promise you, no matter what challenges come our way, we'll face them together.
Solital
Smiling weakly Y-yeah...together, Emily. We'll always be together.
stands up straight, her eyes shining with determination Henry, I may have made mistakes in the past, but I'm ready to be the best mother I can be.
Solital
Smiling Y-yeah...we know you will, Emily. You're...you're already great.
puts a hand on Henry's arm, her voice filled with empathy Henry, I know it won't be easy, but we'll take it one day at a time.
