"What is it this time around?" What's the problem my love! Vera couldn't hide the fact that she was still angry and neither can she hide her sadness from her husband.

She doesn't think that she will find happiness again except she produce a child.
She stood, went to the bathroom and took her bath while she went to the dinner to see what her husband had prepared. It was nothing but her favourite spaghetti dishes.
"Did you prepared this by yourself or the maid did? She ask in curiousity as he nodded his head. "What is it? Seriously you seem to be doubting the type of husband you have don't you?

After dinner, the two of them went to bed. Vera was still distracted with so many thoughts running through her mind. She was also scared at the moment. She doesn't want to feel this way but she can't just help herself.
But what if eventually she doesn't get pregnant? What if she remain motherless like this? Ohhh no it can't happen. She whimpered immediately and remove the blanket from her body as she glared at her husband who was sleeping peacefully.
He isn't even bother if it take all Years for her to conceive because he loves her dearly. But as for her, she's bothered because of the pressure Everyone is putting on her. If only she knew her stressful marriage was she couldn't have agreed to marry him.
Vera opened the door and exist the room as she enter the guest room. She wanted to be alone. Away from her husband so she could cried out her feelings. she sat at the edge of the bed and then brought out the necklace which she had found and talk to it like a friend.
"But whys my own case just different?" Why can't I have a child like everybody else? I really wish to have a child. A child who will make my family again. I don't care of the gender the child might be thouh it might be a boy or girl, I will accept you whelmed heartedly into my heart and treasure you like a gold. She shrugged at the necklace and just then she heard the sound of the door opening.
It was her husband. She clean off her tears immediately and stood up. "What are you doing here? Come on let's go and sleep. Joe uttered as he placed a kiss on her lips while she reciprocate back the kiss.
"Seems like this was what you wanted by looking for me Huh?" She shrugged at her as he stopped for a while to catch his breath. "Don't you want to conceive?" I assure you that after this night you're gonna conceived because I believe so due to the way I will handle you! "Ummmm you really think don't you? Okay let's see what you got.

The whether was in one position for about three hours before it's finally went back to the normal dark one it was. Immediately the whether changes Back, the child come out of the womb immediately leaving the midwife dumbfounded.
