Chapter 1: Is there still hope?
Kate walked in the door with tears streaming down her eyes, she was met with her husband's worried face. Rick immediately jumped off the couch and ran to her, "Kate what is it?" She opened her mouth to speak but instead a series of violent screams filled the air, her knees buckled and she fell to the floor. Rick brought her over to the couch and held her close. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear until he felt her calm down a bit. After a few minutes of silence Kate spoke saying, "I am a horrible person." Rick's mouth opened in surprise, he spoke in confusion "Kate why would you ever say that? I love you and you are amazing." "I lost the baby, I was pregnant and now I'm not" Kate said as a tear fell down her cheek. Rick held her close as she begin to cry again, he felt his own tears coming but held them back right now he needed to be the strong one. "Shh Kate honey please stop crying." "I…I so sorry so so sorry." she mumbled into his shirt. "You have nothing to be sorry for, this is not your fault" "but it was a part of me and now it's not" "I know babe, but it was nothing you did or didn't do okay?" "Okay" She looked away from his eyes then, just staring at the floor. "Kate can you look at me" She slowly looked into his warm blue eyes. Once he had her attention he spoke again, "Do you want to have a baby with me?" She slowly nodded and let out a small smile. "Well Kate when the time is right we can try again because there is nothing I want more than to have a baby with you" "really?" "Yes, you tell me when and I'll be ready" "I love you Rick" "I love you too" The couple shared a kiss before settling down to watch a movie.

3 months had passed since Kate had lost the baby. The couple returned to their daily lives, working at the 12th. One Friday afternoon Rick was writing in his office when his wife came in wearing a robe. He closed his laptop and looked at her with love in his eyes. She walked towards him and sat on his lap, he immediately noticed she was naked under the robe. "Hey Rick" she purred out the R. Rick could feel his pants becoming tighter and tighter, "mmm hi babe" She kissed him softly on the lips and then stood up, taking her robe off. Rick gasped then and fumbled to take of his pants. When he did Kate came over and sat on his hard cock, "I'm ready to try for a baby." She whispered against his lips. "Are you sure?" "Yes, please let me have your baby." Rick groaned and laid her out on his desk, they spent the whole night "starting to try"

Kate threw the negative pregnancy stick in the trash, it felt like she would never get pregnant. With tears in her eyes she went to go tell her husband, "I'm not pregnant." "It is okay babe you will be." "I've already had a miscarriage and it's been a month, it's never going to happen." He kissed her hard on the lips, "Kate you are going to get pregnant, we are going to have a baby, and you are going to be a fantastic mom." She protested saying, "But you are going away for a whole week for the book tour, that's a whole week without trying." "It's only a week, we can try when I get back." Her tears stopped then and anger took over, "ONLY A WEEK, YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME DON'T YOU!" "Honey please stop yelling at me." "I MISS YOU AFTER A DAY AND YOU'RE HAPPY TO BE LEAVING ME" "Kate" "leave me alone, I hate you." She walked out of the room and left Rick with tears streaming down her face. A few hours past and Rick heard his wife crying in the living room, his heart couldn't stand it anymore so he went to go see her. "Hey Kate can we talk?" She nodded and he continued talking, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, you know how much I love you. I only meant that a week is less then when I go out for my month long book tours. When I get back we can try again or go to the doctors if you want." "I'm sorry Rick, so sorry for saying I hate you I didn't mean any of it." "I know you didn't" "can you forgive me?" "already did, I love you Kate" "I love you too, thank you" "always"

The day Rick came home was his birthday. Since he flew in late Kate planned a simple dinner for him, they would have family over tomorrow. After eating dinner Kate handed him his present, a long box wrapped in red wrapping paper. "Happy Birthday Rick, I love you so much." He slowly opened his present, a big smile taking over his face, "Kate are you?" "Pregnant" "but a week ago..." "The tests were wrong." Rick lifted up her shirt and kissed her still flat belly, "Hi squirt it's your daddy." Kate laughed and brought her husband in for kiss. She smiled against his mouth, he was right she was going to be a mom.
