January 2013
After her marriage to Spinner, Darcy had began planning for children. Spinner could run his restaurant and she could care for the kids, in really was the perfect plan. Darcy had thought of everything, everything but nature getting in the way. According to the doctor's Darcy would not be able to carry a child to term. As in, there would be no Spinner Jr. in the future.
That had been three years ago. Three years, several doctors, and countless fights between the couple. Three years was a long enough time for things to change, and Darcy was sure all her praying had finally paid off. She was pregnant.
The same day Darcy found out she was pregnant, she began getting things together for a nursery. Meanwhile, Spinner began making appointments with Darcy's doctors. All the doctors had told them the same thing: Darcy wouldn't, couldn't, carry a child to term. It had something to do with her...something or other.
"But, this is a miracle!" It was the same thing over and over again, no matter how much Spinner tried to explain things to her, Darcy didn't want to see reason. She just wanted her baby; her perfect little family.
Four months into the pregnancy, Darcy miscarried just as the doctors had predicted. Not for the first time, Spinner was at a lost. He didn't know how to comfort her or himself. Darcy had been so excited about the baby, and though he'd never admit it, Spinner had been hoping for a miracle.
Months later, Spinner would blame his promise on Darcy's tears and sobs. The same night Darcy miscarried, Spinner promised they'd try again. And again, and again, until they finally had their baby.
It was a promise he was sure he'd live to regret.
Over the next two years, Darcy became pregnant three more times; she miscarried two of the babies and the third was premature, very premature. The baby was a girl, Faith. She lived for a week.
Darcy seemed to break after that. All she wanted was a baby, and God wouldn't let her have one. She had been a good person, she had prayed and hoped. Darcy truly began to think that God had abandoned her.
So, Spinner did the only thing he could think of: he began looking into every way the two could have children. He put the restaurant for sale, he called in favor after favor, he even begged his friends for help. If all Darcy wanted was a child, then by God he'd get her one.
In January of 2016 – three years after Darcy found out she was pregnant with her first child – Spinner and Darcy brought home their twins, Hope and Bliss. The baby girls had been adopted from Japan, and though the young family was starting fresh, Spinner was just happy that Darcy finally had what she wanted: the perfect family.
