**Enid's POV:**
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across our dorm room as I sat on the edge of our bed, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. It was the day of my scheduled check-up at the fertility clinic—a routine appointment to monitor the progress of my pregnancy following the successful IVF embryo transfer.
Wednesday hovered nearby, her presence a steady comfort amidst the undercurrent of nerves that tinged the morning air. She handed me a cup of herbal tea with gentle hands, her touch grounding me in the present moment.
"You'll do great, Enid," she murmured softly, her voice laced with reassurance.
I managed a weak smile, the weight of anticipation settling heavily upon my shoulders. The journey to expand our family had been one of resilience and hope, and the prospect of receiving positive news today filled me with a cautious optimism.
The clinic greeted us with its familiar air of professionalism and compassion, the waiting area a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city outside. I checked in at the reception desk with trembling hands, my heart racing with a mix of anticipation and fear.
Dr. Lawson greeted us with a warm smile as we entered her office, her demeanor calm and reassuring as she reviewed the results of the ultrasound. The monitor flickered to life, revealing the tiny form of our unborn child—a flicker of movement that brought tears of joy to my eyes.
"Everything looks good, Enid," Dr. Lawson began, her voice gentle yet confident. "Heartbeat is strong, and development is progressing as expected."
Relief flooded through me as I reached for Wednesday's hand, our fingers intertwined in a silent prayer of gratitude. The road ahead was filled with hope and promise, and for a fleeting moment, all seemed right with the world.

3 Weeks passed in a blur of nesting and anticipation, our dorm room transformed into a sanctuary of love and preparation for the arrival of our baby. Wednesday and I immersed ourselves in the joys of pregnancy—the flutter of kicks against my belly, the whispered conversations with Ellie and Ethan about their future sibling, and the quiet moments of reflection on the journey that had brought us to this moment.
And then, one quiet evening, as I felt a wave of fatigue wash over me, I noticed a subtle change—a faint trace of spotting that sent a ripple of fear through my heart. Wednesday's touch was gentle as she held me close, her voice a soothing balm amidst the rising tide of anxiety.
"We'll call Dr. Lawson first thing in the morning," she reassured me, her fingers brushing against my cheek with tender affection.
The night passed in a restless haze, the weight of uncertainty pressing down upon me like a suffocating blanket. Morning dawned with a sense of urgency as we rushed to the fertility clinic, my heart pounding with fear and apprehension.
Dr. Lawson greeted us with a calm professionalism that belied the gravity of the situation, her eyes filled with empathy as she conducted a series of tests and examinations. The ultrasound monitor flickered to life once more, revealing a truth that shattered my fragile hopes—a silent void where a heartbeat once fluttered.
"I'm so sorry, Enid," Dr. Lawson's voice broke through the numbness that enveloped me, her words echoing in the sterile silence of the room. "It appears that you've experienced a miscarriage."

The days that followed were a blur of grief and disbelief, each moment marked by a profound emptiness that seemed to stretch on endlessly. Wednesday held me close, her arms a sanctuary amidst the storm of emotions that threatened to consume me.
"I don't understand," I whispered hoarsely, my voice raw with anguish. "We did everything right. How could this happen?"
Wednesday's touch was gentle as she wiped away my tears, her own eyes filled with unshed sorrow. "Sometimes, there are no answers, Enid. Sometimes, life is simply unfair."
The weight of loss settled heavily upon my shoulders, casting a shadow over everything I held dear. Ellie and Ethan's laughter echoed in the distance, a painful reminder of the life that had slipped away from us—a life that was supposed to have been ours to cherish and nurture.
As days turned into weeks, I found myself withdrawing into a cocoon of grief, the once vibrant colors of our dorm room muted and dimmed by the darkness that had taken root within me. Wednesday stood by my side with unwavering love and patience, her presence a beacon of hope amidst the relentless tide of despair.

Ellie and Ethan's innocent laughter filled the air as they played in the living room, their voices a melody of joy that seemed to resonate with everyone but me. I watched from the doorway of our dorm room, a hollow ache gnawing at my chest as I struggled to bridge the chasm that had grown between us.
"Enid," Wednesday's voice broke through the fog of my thoughts, her touch gentle as she stood beside me, her eyes filled with concern. "They miss you."
I shook my head numbly, unable to find the words to express the depth of my sorrow and guilt. "I can't, Wednesday. I can't be near them. Not like this."
Her gaze softened with understanding, her hand reaching out to grasp mine with reassuring warmth. "They love you, Enid. They need you. You're their mother."
Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to reconcile the conflicting emotions that raged within me—a fierce love for Ellie and Ethan that was overshadowed by a grief so profound, it threatened to consume me whole.

Day after day, and still, the weight of grief hung heavy upon my heart. Wednesday and I sought solace in therapy and support groups, navigating the treacherous waters of loss and healing with tentative steps forward. But the darkness seemed unyielding, a relentless storm that refused to abate.
"I miss her," I whispered one evening, my voice trembling with the rawness of unspoken pain. "Our baby. I miss her so much."
Wednesday held me close, her embrace a lifeline amidst the turbulent sea of emotions that threatened to pull me under. "I miss her too, Enid. We both do."
Together, we navigated the jagged edges of grief, finding solace in the quiet moments of shared sorrow and fleeting glimpses of hope. But the road to healing was long and winding, a journey fraught with pitfalls and setbacks that tested our resilience and faith.

One evening, as I sat in our dimly lit dorm room, the soft sound of Ellie and Ethan's laughter drifted through the air like a distant echo of joy. Wednesday entered quietly, her expression soft with tenderness as she approached me with a tray of tea and cookies.
"They're asking for you," she murmured softly, her voice a gentle reminder of the love and longing that bound our family together.
I nodded slowly, the weight of grief lifting slightly as I reached for the cup of tea she offered. "I'll try," I whispered hoarsely, my voice filled with uncertainty.
"We'll try together," Wednesday replied with quiet determination, her hand finding mine in a gesture of unwavering support.
And as I took a tentative step towards the living room, the laughter of Ellie and Ethan drawing nearer, I knew with a flicker of hope that healing was not an end but a beginning—a journey of love, resilience, and the unwavering belief that even in the darkest of nights, there was always a glimmer of light waiting to guide us home.
