I also want a baby - 1
Mary Anne O'Donnell had always wanted to have a son with his husband Mike, but the first time she god pregnant she lost the baby because it was born. The doctors told her that she could never born a baby. Mike tried to help his wife, but she got really mad because her problem and he felt so guilty because they couldn't adopt one because they hadn't enough money to pay all the papers.
One day, waiting to her usual visit to the gynecologist, Mary Anne met a woman who had her same problem.
"I felt as bad as you do when the doctors told me that I would never be able to born a baby… but I never stopped wishing it, I never stop praying for a son… and one day, it came to me… my husband and I found a little baby that seemed to have felt from the sky, and we grew him up as if it was ours… he's a wonderful man now…" told the woman to her "He gave me all what I wished for and now, not be able to born a baby, it's not a problem for me…"
"You were really lucky… Mike and I are not able to adopt a baby… we haven't money…"
"Well… what you have to do is to never stop praying for it… You'll see that you will be as lucky as I was" and the women smiled to her as the doctor said her name.
"Martha Kent?"
"Oh, that's me! She said… It's my turn… nice to meet you Mary Anne…"
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Kent"
"What's on, Doctor Miles?" asked Martha worried seeing that the doctor was watching to much to her last analysis results.
"I'm not sure…" he whispered without take out his look from that paper.
"Is anything wrong?" she was really getting worried "Because if it is I would prefer you to tell me…"
"Martha, you're forty-seven now, right?"
"Right"
"And how does your love live be since your husband death?"
"What are you exactly asking to me?"
"Well… I wouldn't like to give wrong hopes to you but… this analysis says that you're pregnant…"
"What?!" she exclaimed standing from the chair "That's impossible, Doc! That's…" she was getting calm "… that's… oh my god! That's possible!!"
"Are you sure?"
"Well… At least it would be possible if I wasn't unfertile…"
"But we can't forget that you could get pregnant just a few years ago… the pregnant didn't end as we wished, but…"
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't you lye down… Let's see if there's anything there or not…"
After Martha took off her jumper and lied down, the doctor prepared her belly and put on the screen.
"So…?" asked Martha looking the doctor's face "There's anything right? I knew it couldn't be possible, don't worry Doctor Miles… I'm used to…"
"Wait!" he said when Martha began to move "It's here… well… you're not going to see anything now, it's just one, or one month and a half old, but… there's a little live growing there, Martha…"
"Aren't you joking?"
"We know each other since you came to me to know why you couldn't have a baby… do you really think I would be able to joke about this?"
"Oh my god! I'm pregnant!" exclaimed Martha jumping to the doctor's arms and crying of happiness.
Mary Anne O'Donnell was at the waiting room, when she saw her new friend going out the Doctor's office.
"Please, take care of your self, I don't want you to do any effort, or to worry for anything, ok?" she listened the doctor said.
"I have wished this for too much time, Doctor Miles… I promise you that this time nothing will happen to this baby…" They hugged each other as Mary Anne stood up to listened better what they were saying.
"Oh… and please… let me know the baby's father the next time, ok?"
"I'm not sure if this will be possible…" for a while her smile disappeared and her looked rolled down.
"Martha…" said the Doctor holding her cheek. They knew each other for too much time so they were as close friends when Martha visited him "Is anything wrong with the father? I mean… Did anybody…?" he was trying to ask her if she had been raped, as she hadn't said anything about the father inside the office.
"No! Oh, not doc… it's just that… it wasn't a planned thing… and I'm sure that he wasn't waiting anything like this…"
"Well… neither you…"
"No, that's true… after as much years I wasn't hoping a baby, but… Oh god! I'm finally going to have one, and… I can't believe it…"
"She lied me" Said to herself Mary Anne O'Donnell as she looked how Mrs. Kent walked through the corridor caressing her belly so proud of it…
