"Gosh, this day has been so long and exhausting." You sighed heavily as you climbed into bed with Mina. "I'm so happy it's over."

You snuggled up to your wife but she didn't wrap her arms around you to hold you tight the way she usually does.

When you looked up at her from your head on her chest, you saw that she seemed pretty lost in her thoughts.

"Mina?"

She looked at you as her name left your lips and shook her head to try and snap out of her thoughts.

"Are you okay? You seem to be a little stuck in your head tonight."

She sat up and you did the same before she shook her head with a shaky breath.

"What's wrong?"

She wordlessly pulled the drawer of her nightstand open before pulling something out and placing it on your lap.

"I wanted to try and find a cute way to tell you this but the more I started thinking about it, I started to feel anxious and I just don't know what to do." She quietly and anxiously spoke.

You were in disbelief as you stared at the pregnancy test.

It's been over a year since you and Mina had the traumatic experience of the stillbirth and it was the worst and most devastating thing you've both ever been through.

But just recently, you both felt like the time was right to try again.

She went through an IVF treatment just a couple of weeks ago and you both planned to go to the doctors again soon to see if had been successful.

"I was feeling unwell so I took a test earlier and it's positive, as you can see."

"Oh, Mina..." You said as it began to sink in. "This is amazing!"

You were smiling from ear to ear but Mina wasn't.

She seemed so on edge as her fingers shook and her heart pounded anxiously against her chest.

"Are you not excited? I thought we were ready to try again." You softly spoke as you moved closer to her.

"I am excited." She replied. "We're having a baby, that's exciting. I was ready, I am ready. But I'm nervous about being pregnant again. I'm nervous about it happening again."

"Mina, baby, if you felt this way you should've said something and we could've done it differently. I could've had the treatments done or we could've looked into adopting."

"I know. I'm not saying no to those things but I enjoy pregnancy for the most part. It's beautiful and amazing. I think I'm just so nervous that the same thing will happen."

"The doctor said it was just a random thing. He said that happens sometimes and there's not always a reason for it. But he said there's nothing wrong with you and no reason as to why we couldn't have a healthy baby."

"I know." She said as she held your hands tightly.

"Mina, it's not going to happen again. I know you're scared, I am too. It was very hard on us both. But I think everything is going to be alright this time around. You're pregnant, baby. That's what we've been hoping for."

She smiled her precious gummy smile at you despite the tears in her eyes because she was truly happy.

"You're right. We're having a baby!"

"We are!" You laughed happily before she hugged you. "Everything's going to be okay. We're going to have a healthy baby and we'll love them so much."

"We will." She sniffled. "I love you and as nervous as I am, I'm also very excited and I can't wait to meet them and experience being pregnant again with you by my side."

"I love you too, Mina, and I'll be here for you through everything. I promise."
