I've got a lot of new ideas. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that

Enjoy the chapter!

Tw: Talk about abortion!Miscarriage

You sat on the bathroom floor, full of fear.

The last weeks you felt your body change in many different ways.
Like for example you had special food cravings, you were constantly tired, you always needed to pee and you felt really tense especially in your chest area.

All that were symptoms of a pregnancy which took you forever to figure out until you finally decided to make a test.

Now here you are, biting your nails while waiting for the time to be over.

The timer went off so you stood up to walk over to the sink.
You took a deep breath and slowly looked down.

Positive

There were two red lines on the stick, meaning that you were pregnant.
Tears build up in your eyes and you sink down, leaning against the bath tube.
But those weren't happy tears, they were desperate.

A baby wasn't what you and Margaret planned.
You knew that she didn't want to have children.
You've talked about this and decided that you're too busy with your job. So busy that you don't have time for each other on most of the days. That meant that you also wouldn't have time for children.

And now you were pregnant.

That fucked up all your plans.

You were both happy with the way your marriage was. You didn't need children and as already said, with children it would become more complicated.
"Fuck fuck fuck" you cry
"What am I supposed to do now?"

About a week later

You sat in the kitchen at the table, thinking about the next steps.
You still didn't tell Margaret.

The door opened and in walks your wife. You quickly wipe your tears and greet her.
"Darling what's wrong?" The brunette asks after giving you a kiss.
"Hm? Nothing. Im fine, absolutely"
she puts her head to the side.
"We need to talk."
"Okay" you both sit down.

"Y/n you know I love you oh so very much and we are happy in our marriage. We always talked to each other and I'm worried about you. The last weeks you've been acting different. And especially the last week...you completely distanced yourself from me and that hurt me."
You sniff and your eyes fill with tears.
"I'm worried. What's going on hm?"
Shaking your head, more tears escape your eyes.
"I can't. I can't tell you" Margaret pulls you in.
"Shh it's okay. Calm down."

"No you'd hate me."

"I wouldn't! Just please talk to me."
You pull away from her and look down into your lap.

"Okay I-...I'm pregnant."
With closed eyes, you anxiously wait for her answer.
"No. This is a prank. A joke right?"
You shake your head with a sigh.
"You're pregnant? Like really pregnant?"
You nod your head.
"Oh god. Fuck! How could that happen?"

"I don't know! I'm sorry it's all my fault." You cry even more.
"No no no. It's not."
She pulls you into her lap.
"It's not only your fault okay? It just happened and now we have to find a solution..."

"Uhm there's another problem..."
you bit your lip.
"I didn't notice that I was pregnant at first....I took the test last week and wanted to make sure- well I was at the doctor's...I'm in the 17th week already, that means an abortion is not possible anymore..."
You cry and start to panic.
"I know that you don't want children and I disappointed you."
You breathe faster and cry even more.
"Shh calm down, it's alright"
She kisses your cheek.
"Hey listen to me. We weren't planning on having a child. We are not prepared. And that's a lot at once but we don't have another choice...you have to carry the baby...and we can still decide if we want to keep it or if we give it up on adoption hm?"

You sniff.
"Okay. But Margo..."
"Yes?"
"You know that I always respect your choices but you never told me why exactly you don't want children. Like for me it's because of my job..."
You saw her face drop.
"That's not important..what is important is, that you calm down now and rest and tomorrow we talk again okay?"
You nod, disappointed with her blocking you once again like she did many times before when you brought that topic up.

Three months later

You were now pregnant in the seventh month.

Both of you still weren't sure if you want to keep the baby.
The problem was that always when you tried to talk about it with Margaret, she would change the topic or block you out.
So you couldn't even make a decision.

Still Margaret was very protective over you. A little too protective.
She barely let you do anything, always went out with you, made sure you wouldn't carry anything like not even a water bottle and in her opinion you should lay around all day and do nothing.
At first you found it cute how she took care of you but over time it only annoyed you more.

"Darling what are you doing, I thought I told you to stay on the couch." Your wife looks at you worried.
"Honey I'm just getting a glass of water. I'm not running a marathon." You laugh but she didn't. Instead she took the glass out of your hands and carried it for you.

"Let me do it."
"I can do it on my own!"
"But Y/n-"

"NO! Now you're listening to me Margaret!
I appreciate your care very much but I've told you so often that it also annoys me. Why don't you listen to me?"

"I was just worried I-"

"No. That is not your right. Since three months my only thought is if I want to keep the baby after birth. I was hoping for you to decide with me but no! You block me put every time I ask you that.You didn't even give me a reason why you don't want a baby."
She starts to tear up.
"You just said you don't want to and I get it but stop being so fucking worried and annoying when you can't even talk to me! You're an adult for God's sake. So tell me w-"

"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE ANOTHER BABY!"
She cries out and falls to the floor.

"What?" You crouch down and hug her.
"And because I don't want you to feel what I felt. I never want anyone to experience this.
I never want to feel such pain again." She cries into your lap while holding your belly.

"Oh god Margo,you never told me...come here!" You pull her up and sit down on the couch with her cuddled up in your lap.

"Do you want to talk about?"

"When I was 20 I was pregnant for the first time...the father left me but that didn't matter, he was an idiot anyway" she jokes through her tears.
"I was so excited. I was young ,yes, but I always wanted to have children. Just me and my little bean. But as already said I was on my own, had to do everything on my own. And one day while I was doing the laundry..."
Her voice cracks and you gently massage her hand.
"I felt this pain and soon after I was bleeding. Th- that day, I lost my little rainbow. Because I was doing simple house chores. It was too much during the pregnancy. And I never wanted to feel that again..."
Margaret sobs into your neck while you stroke her hair.

"I understand. Thank you for trusting and telling me."
You kiss her forehead.
"I make sure to watch out and be very careful...but does that mean that you actually want children?"

"Well technically yes. And I would like to keep the baby...if you want of course."
You nod before kissing her.
"It would be a bit hard to manage with work but I think it's okay."

"Hello, did you hear that?" Your wife asks stroking your belly.
"Ah, they're kicking" you cry and Margaret feels it.
"Oh god I'm so happy"
You smile at each other before kissing romantically...

I just wanted to say that I'm deeply sorry for all of the people that had to experience it.

You are so strong and you can do it!

Have a good day/night.

Love you<3
