28. Building a family

Milk PoV

As the sun set on another beautiful day, Milk and Love found themselves nestled together in their favorite corner of the living room, surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight and the warmth of each other's presence. The topic of starting a family had become a frequent conversation between them, and tonight, it took center stage once again.

Milk traced circles on Love's hand, her mind buzzing with excitement and anticipation. "Love," she began softly, "I've been thinking more about our conversation the other day."

Love turned to Milk, her eyes lighting up with curiosity and affection. "About starting a family?" she asked, her voice tinged with hope.

Milk nodded, her heart racing with the weight of her next words. "Yes, exactly. I think... I think I'm ready to take the next step, to seriously look into how we can make our dream a reality."

Love's smile widened, her hand squeezing Milk's in silent reassurance. "I've been doing some research too," she admitted. "I've been looking into the best hospitals and clinics that specialize in fertility treatments."

Milk's eyes widened with surprise and delight. "You have?" she exclaimed, a rush of gratitude flooding her heart. "Love, that means so much to me."

Love brushed a lock of hair behind Milk's ear, her touch gentle and loving. "Milk, you mean everything to me," she murmured, her voice filled with sincerity. "I want us to have all the information we need, to make the best decisions for our future."

Encouraged by Love's support, Milk leaned in closer, their foreheads touching as they shared a moment of quiet intimacy. "I've been thinking about... using your egg for the IVF process," she confessed softly, her gaze searching Love's for understanding.

Love's eyes softened with love and admiration. "Milk, that's... incredibly thoughtful," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "To know that our child would carry a part of you and me—it's a beautiful thought."

Milk nodded, a sense of peace washing over her. "I want us to share everything, Love," she explained earnestly. "Every joy, every challenge, and the incredible journey of bringing a new life into our family."

Love smiled, her heart swelling with love and pride. "We will, Milk," she promised, her voice steady with determination. "We'll navigate this journey together, hand in hand."

In the days that followed, Milk and Love threw themselves into their research with unwavering dedication. They poured over medical journals, consulted with experts, and visited several renowned hospitals and clinics specializing in fertility treatments. Each step brought them closer to their dream of starting a family, reinforcing their commitment to one another and their shared future.

At one particularly memorable appointment, they sat together in a bright, welcoming consultation room, surrounded by pamphlets and informational brochures. A compassionate fertility specialist entered the room, her warm smile putting them at ease as she outlined the process and answered their questions with patience and expertise.

Milk and Love exchanged glances, their hearts beating in unison as they absorbed every detail, every possibility that lay ahead. They discussed timelines, treatment options, and the emotional journey they were about to embark upon with both excitement and a hint of nervousness.

As they left the hospital that day, hand in hand, Milk turned to Love with a radiant smile. "I'm so glad we're doing this together," she said softly, her eyes shining with love.

Love squeezed Milk's hand, her heart overflowing with gratitude and love for the woman beside her. "Me too," she replied, her voice filled with certainty and joy. "This is just the beginning of our greatest adventure yet."
