Christiana and Tiger had been happily married for five years. They had been through thick and thin, but their love for each other only grew stronger. However, recently they had been feeling uneasy about Tiger's cousin Simon and his newly wedded wife, Helen.Helen was Tiger's friend from college, and at one point in time, she had a crush on him. Although Tiger had never reciprocated her feelings, Christiana couldn't help but feel a little jealous of her. And now, with Simon and Helen's recent visit, Christiana's fears seemed to be coming true.Christiana watched as Helen laughed at everything Tiger said, her hand lingering on his arm just a little longer than necessary. Simon, on the other hand, seemed to be giving Christiana a look that made her uncomfortable.As they all sat down for dinner, Christiana couldn't help but notice the tension in the room. She tried to make small talk, but the conversation seemed forced and awkward.After dinner, as they all sat in the living room, Simon
As the moonlight streamed through the window, casting a gentle radiance upon the room as Christiana reclined on the plush bed, her heart filled with a mix of excitement and curiosity. She couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of this moment—their honeymoon phase—a time meant for intimate conversations and discoveries.Beside her, Tiger sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on a photograph that he held in his hands. There was a melancholy in his eyes, a depth of emotion that Christiana had come to recognize. She reached out and placed her hand on his, her touch grounding him in the present."Tiger," she whispered, her voice filled with tenderness. "Tell me about your parents. I want to know more about them."A flicker of hesitation passed across Tiger's face, but he took a deep breath and looked at Christiana. She saw a mixture of sadness and fondness in his eyes as he spoke, as if each word brought back a cherished memory."My mother was a remarkable woman," Tiger began, his voic
Helen sat on the edge of the bed, her hand shaking as she held her phone. She took a deep breath and dialed the number she had memorized. It rang twice before someone picked up."Hello?" Christiana's voice was warm and friendly."Christiana, it's Helen. Can you talk?""Of course, Helen. Is everything okay?"Helen bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over. "I have some news, and I wanted you and Tiger to be the first to know.""What is it?" Christiana's voice was soft, full of concern."I'm pregnant," Helen said, her voice barely above a whisper.There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Helen wondered if Christiana had heard her correctly."Pregnant?" Christiana repeated, disbelief in her voice.Helen nodded, even though Christiana couldn't see her. "Yes, I just found out this morning.""Oh my god, Helen!" Christiana's voice was filled with excitement now. "That's amazing news! Congratulations!"Helen couldn't help but smile, feeling a small sen
Christiana had been filled with excitement ever since her sister-in-law Helen had announced that she was pregnant. However, as the weeks passed by, Christiana couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt about the validity of the claim.Helen had been on her honeymoon with her husband, Simon, and had returned claiming to be pregnant. But Christiana couldn't help but notice that Helen hadn't been showing any of the typical signs of pregnancy, such as morning sickness or cravings.Finally, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Christiana decided to confront Helen about her doubts. "Helen," she said tentatively, "are you sure you're actually pregnant?"Helen looked taken aback, as though she hadn't expected the question. "Of course I am," she replied, a note of defensiveness creeping into her voice. "Simon and I have been trying for a baby for months now, and we were so happy to find out I was pregnant on our honeymoon."Christiana couldn't help but feel skeptical, however. "But shouldn
Christiana sat in her living room, staring at the blank TV screen, her thoughts racing. She couldn't stop thinking about the conversation she and her husband Tiger had had earlier that day. The two of them had been talking about starting a family, and the idea had taken hold of her mind.Christiana had always known that she wanted children, but she had been hesitant to bring it up with Tiger. He was so focused on his career as a software engineer, and she didn't want to disrupt his plans. But as she sat there, lost in thought, she realized that she couldn't keep her desires hidden any longer.She looked over at Tiger, who was sitting at the kitchen table, staring at his laptop screen. He looked up and caught her gaze, and she felt a surge of love and longing."Tiger," she said, her voice soft. "Do you think we should try to have a baby?"Tiger looked up, surprise evident on his face. "Really?" he asked. "You want to have a baby?"Christiana nodded, feeling a knot form in her stomach.
Christiana and Tiger had been married for many years now, and they were excitedly looking forward to starting a family. They had been trying for a while, and now that they were expecting, they couldn't contain their joy.To celebrate, they decided to take a trip to the mall to buy some clothes and toys for the baby. Christiana was already five months pregnant, and they wanted to start preparing for the arrival of their little one.As they walked through the mall, Christiana and Tiger discussed what they needed to buy. They started at a baby clothing store and were immediately overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. Christiana couldn't help but smile at all the tiny clothes and shoes on display. She imagined how adorable their baby would look in them.Tiger, on the other hand, was completely out of his depth. He had never shopped for baby clothes before and didn't know where to begin. Christiana took charge and started picking out outfits, showing them to Tiger and getting his opini
Christiana and Tiger had been married for five years, and they had always talked about starting a family. But with their busy careers and demanding schedules, finding time for intimacy had become a challenge.One evening, as they sat down to dinner, Christiana brought up the topic of having a baby once again. Tiger smiled, his eyes lighting up with excitement at the prospect of becoming a father. "I think it's time," he said, taking her hand in his. "Let's start trying."Christiana's heart swelled with happiness, knowing that they were both on the same page. "I agree," she said, her eyes shining with anticipation. "But let's make it special. Let's plan a night just for us, a night where we can be intimate and create a new life together."Tiger nodded eagerly, his mind already racing with ideas. "I know the perfect place," he said, grinning mischievously. "I've rented a cabin up in the mountains, just for the weekend. It's secluded, romantic, and it has a hot tub."Christiana's eyes wi
Tiger had been planning a surprise trip for Christiana for weeks. He could see the toll that their struggles with infertility were taking on her, and he knew that she needed a break from the stress and heartache of their daily lives. So, he had booked tickets for them to go to Australia, a place that he knew she had always wanted to visit.When they arrived in Sydney, Christiana was hesitant to let herself fully enjoy the trip. The weight of their infertility struggles hung heavy over her, and she couldn't shake the feeling that they were somehow responsible for their inability to conceive. But Tiger was determined to help her relax and forget about their troubles, if only for a little while.They spent their first few days in Sydney exploring the city's famous landmarks and soaking up the sun on Bondi Beach. Christiana began to feel a sense of peace and contentment that she hadn't experienced in months. For the first time in a long time, she felt hopeful about their future together.A
