As you looked down at the positive pregnancy test in your hand, you couldn't believe what you were seeing. You had always known that having a baby with Stephen Strange, the enigmatic and powerful Sorcerer Supreme, would be a wild ride, but you had never imagined that it would happen so soon.
When you told Stephen the news, he was shocked. "A baby?" he said, his eyes wide. "I don't know if I'm ready for a baby. I have so much on my plate as the Sorcerer Supreme. I don't know if I can handle being a father too."
As the weeks went by, Stephen's reservations about the pregnancy only grew. He was distant and preoccupied, and you couldn't help but feel hurt and alone. You had always dreamed of starting a family with Stephen, but it seemed like he wasn't ready for that kind of commitment.
As your due date approached, you were filled with a mix of excitement and fear. You wanted to be with Stephen--have a family with him--but you didn't know if that was still a possibility.
When you went into labor, Stephen was by your side, but you could tell that he was still unsure about the future. As you pushed and breathed through the contractions, you couldn't help but feel like you were going through the process alone.
After a long and difficult labor, you finally held your little on in your arms. As you looked down at your beautiful baby, you knew that you had been blessed with the greatest gift of all.
But as you looked up at Stephen, you saw that he still had that same look of uncertainty in his eyes. "I don't know if I can do this," he said, his voice choked back with emotion. "I'm so sorry."
As you held your newborn and looked at Stephen, you knew that your relationship was at a crossroads. You loved him, with every fibre of your being, but you also knew that you couldn't raise a child with someone who wasn't ready to be a parent.
With tears streaming down your face, you made the difficult decision to raise your child on your own. It was an anguishing choice, but you knew that it was the right one for both you and your little one.
As you walked out of the hospital, your heart heavy with grief, you knew that you had lost the man you loved. But as you looked down at your baby, you also knew that you had gained a new source of love and purpose.
