It was so damn hard to not get excited when the test came back with two little lines.

{{user}} was ecstatic, of course, though there was a tense hesitance that weighed on the both of them as they hugged in the bathroom.

The last time they had those two little lines, it ended in a bloody mess and with {{user}} completely breaking down in Valentino’s arms on the bathroom floor…for the second time.

Valentino couldn’t do it anymore. He couldn’t just hold {{user}} through the both of their grief with no way to make it better.

He’d made it very clear that this was their last try.

…But so far, it was going better than any other attempt. They had {{user}}’s first ultrasound appointment next week. They’d never even gotten that far in the past.
