"Red, are you okay," her husband asked, as he knocked lightly on the door? She had been sitting on the toilet with watery eyes for what seemed like an eternity now.
"I'm alright," she said. "I'll be out in just a minute."
She listened for the click of the door...she knew this was hard on him too...she just didn't know how to help him any more then he knew how to help her...For six months they had been trying to have a baby...and through every agonizing test they had endured, nothing had worked. They were going to have to start thinking of other options if they couldn't get her ovulation cycle to normalize... and she didn't want other options...she wanted a baby...his baby...A reflection of their deep love. It had taken her years to find her lifetime soulmate, and now that she had, she wanted to share everything with him...she didn't want to have to give up her dream...their dream.
"Red," he said, as she finally opened the bathroom door, red and swollen eyes and tears streaming down her face. In her hand was another negative test.
"I'm sorry," he said, as if that would make this right. They had both been saying "I'm sorry" for too long now. He didn't hesitate to take her in his arms and let the silence speak when their broken hearts couldn't.
"What now," he asked?
She paused momentarily to collect herself, as she looked up into the eyes she loved so much. A part of her wanted to tell him that they should just accept reality and give up now...but there was an even bigger part of her that said if anyone could defy the odds, it would be them. They had already beaten so many insurmountable challenges...why not this? She leaned her head against his as he kissed the top of it...and she said "We make an appointment with the doctor...maybe she can help us figure out why I'm still not ovulating...If I still can. "
The odds were stacked against them in many different ways but age was the one they would never say out loud...Nora wasn't like most women her age...she had spunk, and vitality...and she would be an excellent mother...He wouldn't let anyone crush their dreams just because statistics said otherwise...
"You make the call," he said..."I'll be there...anytime...anywhere."
"I love you Cowboy," she said, as she kissed him gently.
"I love you too Red. We'll make this work. I promise."
She gave him a half smile as she walked over to the phone...they both knew the reason why...it was a promise he didn't know if he could keep.
