Returning from their blissful honeymoon in Langkawi, Nora and Zac entered a new phase of their lives filled with hope and anticipation. They had bought a charming home together in the hills of Los Angeles, a place where they envisioned building their future and creating lasting memories.

The house, nestled among towering trees and surrounded by a lush garden, felt like a sanctuary away from the bustling city. They spent weekends painting walls, arranging furniture, and turning it into a space that reflected their personalities and shared dreams. Each room became a canvas where they painted their hopes for the future.

As they settled into their new home, thoughts of starting a family began to occupy their minds more and more. They had always dreamed of having children together, of watching them grow and filling their home with laughter and love. It was a dream they had talked about often, imagining the joy of parenthood and the adventures they would share as a family.

Excited and hopeful, they decided to start trying for a baby. They approached it with eagerness and optimism, eagerly anticipating the positive result on each test. But as weeks turned into months, and months into their first anniversary, their optimism began to wane.

One evening, sitting together in their cozy living room with soft music playing in the background, Zac turned to Nora with a tender smile. "Nora, love, what do you say we start trying for a baby?" he asked gently, his eyes filled with hope and love.

Nora's heart swelled with emotion as she looked into Zac's eyes. "Yes," she replied softly, her voice filled with excitement and a touch of nervousness. "Let's start our family together."

They hugged each other tightly, feeling the weight of their decision and the hope it brought. They talked late into the night, discussing their dreams for their future children, imagining what they would look like and the kind of parents they would be.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as Nora and Zac eagerly tried to expand their family. Each negative pregnancy test brought a wave of disappointment, quietly eroding their hopes. Nora, in particular, began to feel the weight of her perceived failure to conceive, despite Zac's unwavering support and reassurances.

One evening, after yet another negative pregnancy test, Nora sat on the edge of their bed, tears streaming down her face. Zac found her there, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. He knelt beside her, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close.

"Nora, we're in this together," Zac whispered, his voice full of love and reassurance. "We'll keep trying, and no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you. We'll get through this."

"I'm just so scared," Nora admitted, her voice breaking. "What if we can't have a baby? What if it never happens for us?"

 "What if we can't have a baby? What if it never happens for us?"

Zac lifted her chin, looking into her eyes. "We can explore other options if it comes to that. Adoption, surrogacy... we have choices. What matters most is that we have each other, and we can build a family in many different ways. You're not alone in this, Nora."
