All Yelena wanted was a beautiful child of her own. An accomplished biomed student aged 21, she had felt this need quite deeply. No amount of love smothering from her parents or multiple siblings had filled it. No existing human being could satisfy her.
A series of courtships ensued. Yelena moved from one relationship to the other, with little results. Mentioning her pro-child ambitions had warded off most suitors eventually. Alone was her path, she painfully knew.
However, Yelena had developed a well-strategized, post-pregnancy plan. Upon confirmation of impregnation, she would isolate herself from her immediate society. Her studious wizardry would smoothen immigration and transfer her to a more preferable, child-rearing location. Yelena would birth her baby and continue a biomed career until further notice. A progressive policy indeed? She booted her laptop and penned her plan along with contingency strategies and emergency exit routes. Everything was in place except the manifestation of the child.
Fast forward, fate had presented her with a beautiful biomed academic with whom she had coupled after an annual conference. Post-impregnation, the unmarried, career-oriented man had no wish to bear any extra responsibilities. Twas of no concern to Yelena, the longing in her heart began to fill after the pregnancy test strip turned blue. Was ethereal happiness just a stone's throw away for our Yelena?
