Madison’s POV.“Okay, I’m going to ask you some questions about your pregnancy,” she said. “Are you having any pain?” I shook my head, even though she couldn’t see me. “No, I’m not having any pain,” I said. “And how’s your morning sickness?" she asked, her voice full of concern. “I haven’t had any morning sickness,” I said, feeling a little relieved. “Okay, that’s good,” she said, sounding relieved as well. “How about your energy level?” she asked, moving on to the next question.“My energy level is pretty normal,” I said, trying to be honest. “I’m not feeling overly tired or anything like that.” “And how about your appetite?” she asked, continuing with the questions. “My appetite is normal too,” I said, feeling a bit like I was being interrogated. “Well, based on the information you’ve given me, I don’t think there’s any reason to worry about the baby’s kicking,” she said, her voice reassuring. “But if anything changes or you start having any pain, please call us right away.“Thank

Madison's POV The trip lasted longer than I l expected and it was almost as if we wouldn’t arrive home. The car was calm at this moment, Tyler was focused on the road and I rested on my back and enjoyed the breeze. Indeed, motherhood brings joy. Tyler turned on the radio and the song was familiar and comforting, and it felt like a perfect way to end the day. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow on the horizon. As we sang along, I felt my mind uplifted; I was having a feeling of contentment. “This is perfect,” I said, my voice full of happiness. “It really is,” Tyler said, his eyes never leaving the road. “I’m so glad we’re doing this together.” “Me too,” I said, leaning my head against the window. And in that moment, I knew that no matter what happened, we would be okay. We finally got home and I got out of the car. I stretched my leg for a little over one minute because it felt stiff. As I stretched, I felt a sense of relief. I had been sitting for so long that my muscles w

Madison's POV I had found the perfect partner to go on this journey with, and I knew that no matter what happened, we would face it together. “Do you want to try to eat something?” he asked, gently rubbing my back. “I think I can manage some toast,” I said, my stomach starting to settle. He went to the kitchen and made some toast, bringing it back to me on a small plate. I nibbled on it slowly, savoring the simple, comforting taste. “Thank you,” I said, feeling better already. “Of course,” he said, sitting down next to me. “Anything for you and my unborn child,” he said, feeling overwhelmed by my gratitude for this man who was by my side through thick and thin. Tyler leaned in to kiss me softly. “We’re in this together. You’re going to make an amazing mother,” he said, his eyes full of adoration. “I’m going to do my best,” I said, feeling the weight of responsibility on my shoulders. But I also felt a sense of excitement, knowing that this was the start of a new chapter in our live

Madison’s POV. I was eating and enjoying my meal, not minding how I was chewing loudly. The food was good; I didn’t have doubts because it was from Mrs. Sophie. “You seem to enjoy your food. “Yes, you have no idea how weak and hungry I am feeling.” “I’m glad we could get you something to eat,” he said, a warm smile on his face. “I know being in the hospital can be tough.” “It’s not so bad,” I said, taking another bite of my food. “I’m just grateful to have you here with me.” “I’m happy to be here,” he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” I felt my heart swell at his words, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for our love and connection. No matter what happened, we would always have each other. The doctor came in; it didn’t look like he was coming with good news. His face was like a wet weekend and he struggled to put up a smile. “Hi there, Ms. Maddy,” he said, his voice sounding tired. “How are you feeling today?” “I’m feeling bet

Madison's POV I went into the guest room so I could talk to Rose freely without any restrictions. I dialed the number and it rang once before she picked up the all. I began to sobe as she took the call. “Hello?” Rose’s voice was soft and comforting, and I could feel myself starting to relax. “Hi Rose,” I said, taking a deep breath. “It’s Maddy. I need to talk to you.” “Of course,” she said, her voice full of concern. “Is everything okay?” “No,” I said, my voice shaking. “I’ve been diagnosed with a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.” There was a pause on the other end of the line, and I could hear Rose taking a deep breath. “What !!! Are you okay?” she asked, her voice full of worry. “I’m not sure,” I said, my voice cracking. “I’m scared, Rose. I don’t know what to do.” “It’s okay to be scared,” she said, her voice soothing. “You’re going through something really difficult. But you’re strong, and you’re going to get through this.” I felt myself start to cry, the tears stream

Madison’s POV I went back to the living room and I saw Tyler doing some paper work. He was busy with work; I wonder if he ever had time to rest; he was always working. “How’s it going?” I asked, sitting down next to him. “Good, just catching up on some work,” he said, not looking up from his computer. “I feel bad that I haven’t been able to help with the move,” I said, feeling a sense of guilt. “Don’t worry about it,” he said, finally looking up at me. “You need to focus on your health right now; that’s the most important thing.” I nodded, knowing that he was right. But I still felt bad about not being able to help. “How about you get some rest while I finish up here?” he said, putting his hand on my shoulder. “That sounds nice,” I said, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me. I laid down on the couch, letting my body relax into the cushions. I closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind. But my thoughts kept racing, and I couldn’t seem to quiet them. I was still scared for my bab

I approached the table, feeling a knot of anxiety in my stomach. “Hi, Maddy!” Brenda said, giving me a fake smile. “Hi, Brenda,” I said, not returning the smile. I turned to Tyler’s ,mother. “Hello, Ma,” I said, forcing a smile. “Hi, Madison, have a seat” she said, then went straight to the point. “I will pay you 5 million dollars to abort that child." I felt a wave of pain when I heard those words from Tyler’s mother. My stomach twisted. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “What?” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “You can’t be serious!” “I’m very serious,” she said, her voice cold and clinical. “I’ll wire the money to your account as soon as you terminate the pregnancy.” I was speechless. I couldn’t believe that she would say something like that, and I couldn’t believe that
