Day 4: Family

Hazel had always wanted a family. She wanted to raise her kids with love and tenderness, something she didn't get a lot of as a child.

So when she took a trip to the doctor and they told her the bad news, she wanted to break down and cry.

"I'm so sorry, Hazel. But it seems that your body isn't developed to hold a child."

"So… I can't ever have a baby?"

"The probability is… very slight."

Now, she's sitting on the couch in sweatpants and one of Frank's old hoodies, crying as he holds her in his arms.

"It'll be alright, Hazel. I promise," he said, cradling her. She sits in his lap, sobbing on his shoulder. She hated crying in front of Frank, not because she feels weak, but because she knows that when he sees her like this, he gets hurt too. It's been that way since she was thirteen.

Hazel sniffed and wiped her nose on the sleeve of the hoodie. "I'm so sorry, Frank."

"Hazel Zhang," Frank pulled Hazel back and forced her to look at him. "What on Earth are you apologizing for?

"I just… I feel like it's my fault. I know how much you wanted this baby and I- oh gods!" Tears started streaming down her face again and she covered her face with her hands. "I know you wanted kids too, but-" Frank took her hands and put them on his cheeks.

"I may want kids too, but that doesn't mean that this is your fault. Whatever happened with your body isn't in your control. "

Hazel's lip quivered. She closed her eyes as Frank's hand touched her cheek. She leaned in and kissed him softly. She sighed and put her head on Frank's shoulder as he continued to stroke her hair.

"I love you so much, Frank."

"And I love you, Hazel."

Two years later, Hazel sits anxiously on the edge of her bed. She was feeling nauseous. She looked at the little stick in her hand and smiled as wide as she could.

"Hazel, I'm home!"

"I'm upstairs, Hon."

She said it calmly, despite the ecstatic look on her face. She could hear his footsteps as he walked upstairs to their bedroom.

"Hey you'll never guess… What happened?"

Hazel looked at him and held up the pregnancy test. Frank's face lit up immediately.

"I'm pregnant."
