      First up for speeches was my mom.
      "Hi, I'm Anna-May's mom, Jessica. Anna-May was her father and I's miracle child. I was told by doctors that I couldn't conceive, but when I found out I was pregnant with Anna, I was ecstatic! She was born three months premature and she had to stay in the ICU until she reached her due date. When she was a month old, I had given up hope. Yet I still prayed every day. And finally, she started to show progress. She has survived so much. I love you, baby." She blew me a kiss and I smiled brightly. Next was Jacob, the best man.

      "Not sure what to say. I definitely can't follow up to that. Okay, Embry and I have been best friends since we were little. Somewhere along the way, we adopted Quil. Then Old Quil and Jessica got married and we met Anna-May. Honestly, I think we all had a crush on her. But we knew Embry would be with her eventually. And now they're married. It's crazy." Everyone laughed at his joke and a few others made speeches.

      Embry and I lived with my parents through our senior year. I was going for my annual gynecologist checkup and had invited Leah along. She turned her head as the doctor examined me. Suddenly, something felt wrong. Leah felt it too because she turned around and stared at me.

      "Miss Call... I'm afraid I have bad news." He stood and removed his gloves.

      "What is it?" I said quietly.

      "I'm afraid there are cysts on your ovaries. They've grown since your last visit and they are very large. We can remove them permanently, but you will not be able to have children. However, if you choose not to remove them, there is a large possibility of cancer. Either way, children are not possible. I'm very sorry." He patted my shoulder and left the room. My mouth hung open and Leah crossed the room toward me.

      "Anna... I'm so sorry." she stared at me in pity.

      "What am I supposed to tell Embry? This isn't fair!"

      When I got home, no one was there but Embry. I breathed slowly and hung my jacket on the wall. I put my purse on the counter and slowly walked upstairs to our bedroom. I walked in and Embry was getting dressed.

      "Hey, baby. We're all about to go to the beach. Wanna come?" He smiled and kissed my cheek.

      "Embry, I have to tell you something... Sit down." He looked at me like I had three heads, but sat on the bed. I sat next to him and held his hand.

      "Anna, what's wrong? You're scaring me."

      "I went to the gynecologist today. He said I have cysts on my ovaries. And they're big. He says I can have them removed or keep them and probably get cancer. But it still isn't possible either way for me to have children. I'm so sorry. I failed you." I began to cry and he pulled me into his chest.

      "Anna, no. I love you. There are plenty of babies out there that need to be adopted. When we're ready, we'll talk about that. But you don't need to give me children. You've given me yourself and for that, I'm so grateful."
