"Tony. I can't have babies."
"Wh-What do you mean? You were showing symptoms of pregnancy! What went wrong?" I sighed in frustration.
"I'm sorry, okay? I have female infertility, the doctor said to not stop trying. Maybe I can-"
"How long do we have to wait? Weeks? Months? Years? Tell me Catherine how long?" I've never seen Tony shout like this.
"I don't know Tony! This is why I didn't want to tell you! Plus it's just a baby-"
"It's not just a baby! It's our baby. I want to start a family-"
"Woah! What's going on here?" Jaime asked as the guys came in the kitchen. "It's not important." I mumbled. "Not important? Do you even care about this situation?" I sighed in frustration. "Fine! I can't fuckin have babies! There. Are you fuckin happy, Tony? What if I just wanted to keep it between us? I'm sorry okay! I'm fuckin sorry I can't give you a family! I'm sorry you married someone who can't have babies!" Tears ran down my cheeks. "Babe. I'm sorry-"
"Fuckin save it, Tony." I pushed passed him and grabbed my car keys. That was our first fight.
I got in my car and started driving. What did I do wrong? Why can't I have babies? What if I'm never able to have babies? Will Tony leave me? I can't imagine my life without Tony. I stopped at a flower shop and headed to the cemetery. I got out of my car and headed to Johnny's tomb. I picked up the old flowers from two weeks ago and laid the fresh ones. I smiled as small tears were building up. "Hey Johnny" I sighed. "I need you right now." I imagined Johnny getting out of his tomb and telling me everything is going to be okay. But nothing happened. "Anyways, I went to the doctors today and I found out I can't have babies, but there is still a chance that I can. I don't think Tony is going to be patient. What if he leaves me?" I sighed, for what seemed the hundredth time today. "Well I'll see you next time, Johnny." I wiped away the tears and headed back to my car. Maybe I'll have a drink? Or two? I looked at my phone and had missed calls from Tony, Vic, Jaime, and Mike. I had text messages, but I didn't want to answer. I just want to be alone.
