As Vic gets home from work, she finds a surprise in her front yard: a stroller with her favorite flowers and a note inside from her husband. Suddenly, her best-kept secret rises to the surface, forcing her to tell her husband the truth about her fertility issues. Vic risks shattering their lives together\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I pulled into the driveway that evening, the first thing I noticed was the stroller. It was sitting on the lawn, wrapped in a beautiful bow with my favorite flowers. Yellow lilies. The sight stopped me in my tracks, my keys slipping from my fingers as I stared at the unexpected gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stroller?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mind raced, trying to piece together why it would be there. Arthur and I had never talked about this. At least, not seriously. He had always said that he wasn\u2019t interested in having children, and I never pushed the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, Vic,\u201d he said one day when we were talking about it over brunch. \u201cI just think that I want to travel the world and go on all types of adventures. I don\u2019t think kids fit into that equation. Maybe it\u2019s just something that I need to get out of my system, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, I knew. And that\u2019s why I didn\u2019t want to question him any further. I had my own reasons for staying silent, reasons that ate away at me every time I saw a mom with their baby. But still, I had convinced myself that it was okay because we were on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or so I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now\u2026 this stroller told me that everything had changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
