“I’ll leave you to it, Mrs. Romero,” the doctor said, excusing himself from the room to give Richard

and Amber their privacy.

Amber’s world seemed to tilt on its axis, the air thick with a surreal haze that clouded her senses as the doctor’s words settled on her. The room seemed to blur around her, the walls closing in with a

stifling intensity that mirrored the torrent of emotions raging in her.

She glanced at Richard, his features a mirror of her own shock and disbelief. The realization that he

too had heard the doctor’s words sent a shiver down her spine, a silent reassurance that this was

indeed happening, and not a figment of her imagination.

“Richard, what do I do?” Her voice trembled with uncertainty, a thread of fear and disbelief entwined

in her words. “I don’t know how to react. I don’t even know how to feel.”

Richard’s gaze shifted towards her, emotions churning in his eyes. He seemed lost in his thoughts, grappling with the enormity of the news that had just unfolded in front of him.

With a visible effort, he turned towards her, unsure of what to say since he also didn’t know how to

feel.

“I… I don’t know either, Amber,” he admitted. He knew Amber this was what Amber wanted the most–to have children. And he was happy that she was finally going to get her wish, despite believing that it would never be possible. But as for him, he felt lost. Completely lost, and scared.

A sudden wave of emotion engulfed Amber, causing a flood of tears to well up in her eyes and spill

down her cheeks abruptly.

Richard’s heart clenched at the sight of her tears, a surge of confusion, and concern welling up in him as he drew her close to him gently, careful not to trigger her injuries. “Amber, why are you crying? What’s wrong?Are you not… happy about this?”

He didn’t know how to react to Amber’s tears or what to do to calm her down, but if there was one thing he knew he couldn’t do at the moment, it was to show his fear in front of Amber.
