"We'll try next time Okay?", Jimin said, holding my hand to comfort me as he drove us home.
I leaned my head against the window and sighed as I watched trees pass by. This is the fifth time we left the doctor's office with bad news. I was really hoping this time it would be good news but I guess I got my hopes up.
As we entered the house, he asked me if I wanted anything to eat. Like always, I don't answer and head towards the room I always go to when I hear this news. I sat down on the same chair and sighed.
I don't know why Jimin always asks me the same question when he knows I'm too upset. He entered the room and kneeled in front of me.
"It's not healthy for you to keep torturing yourself. You should head to bed and rest", he said softly.
My eyes were glued to the small teddy bear that was in my hands. My fingers brushed against the small white shirt it was wearing. This bear was placed in the crib with other stuff animals until I learned that babies can suffocate with it so I took them all out and put them on a small hammock in the corner of the room.
"What if something's wrong with me? We tried so many times but nothing works. What if I can't get pregnant?", I asked him.
"There's nothing wrong with you. A lot of people have trouble sometimes but eventually they end up having a baby. Maybe we should wait a bit longer until we try again. I bet that will work", he said.
I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I rested my chin on my knees and closed my eyes. Jimin knee when I needed my space so he kissed my forehead and left the room.
'Maybe he's right. Maybe now is not the right time for us to start a family.'

*Two Years later*"Jimin, wake up", I whispered as I shook Jimin.
"What's wrong?", he asked, rubbing his eyes.
"I can't sleep. The lady from the adoption agency is coming today and I'm nervous", I said.
He put his arm around me and caressed my head. Every time he does time I feel more calm.
"Don't worry. She's just gonna check out the house and ask us a few questions. Everything is gonna be fine. We're more than prepared. Now close your eyes and try to go to sleep", he said.
The next few hours I was pacing around the living room, thinking if the house looks spotless. Jimin on the other hand was sitting on the couch as he organized the papers in a portfolio.
"How can you be so calm?", I asked him.
"Because I know everything is gonna be fine. We baby proofed everything in the house, the nursery is ready, we have all the baby materials, and the papers are signed. It's gonna be okay", Jimin said, hugging me.
"What if she doesn't like us?", I asked.
"What's not to like?", he joked.
I slapped him on the chest and sat down in the couch. We waited for another thirty minutes until there was a knock on the door.
"Oh my god she's here! How do I look?", I asked Jimin nervously.
"You look fine", he said before opening the door.
"Hello, my name is Cheryl. I'll be the one to decide whether you're cleared for adoption or not", the lady smiled.
She walked into the house and looked around. Jimin knew I'd be too nervous to talk so he showed her around the house. I sat down on the couch, hoping to god she says we're fit to adopt.
"Well the house seems great. Now I have to ask you two a few questions before I decide", she said as she sat down on the couch.
Jimin sat next to me and intertwined our hands together. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the questions she'll be asking.
"Are you married?", she asked.
"No but we've been together over five years", I said.
"Really? And you haven't thought about marriage? The reason why I'm asking is because the judge will mostly likely say yes if the couple who is adopting is married. They'll think the relationship is stable enough for a child that's not their blood. I just wanna know if there is any plans for marriage", she said.
"Well we haven't really talked about it. Thinking about it actually terrifies me", I said.
"And you think adopting a child won't terrify you? Listen, taking care of a child, especially one that has been abandoned by their parents in a box that was placed near the garbage, is a lot of responsibility and if you can't handle marriage then you can't handle taking in a child that needs lots of attention", she said.
'Maybe I should've kept my mouth shut.'
"I think that's about it. I will contact you in a few days to let you know if it's a yes or a no", she said before getting her stuff and walked towards the door.
'That's it. There will be no baby in this house because of me.'
Jimin quickly ran after her and blocked her way. She didn't like it so she warned him if he didn't let her pass, we won't be getting a baby.
"Please. I know she seems terrified now. And we will be getting married. But that's in the future. She really wants to have a baby and I can't tell you how much it hurts to not be able to give her that. We tried so many times but failed. Yes taking care of a child takes a lot of responsibility but it's not like she's gonna be doing it alone. Adopting a baby will only make us closer than we already are. She has studied every fact she needs to know about taking care of a child. She risked hours of sleep just so she could get through a whole book. She wants nothing more than this. You don't know her but I do. She already makes a terrific mother. So please give her the one thing she desires most", Jimin said to her.
The lady seemed surprised to hear what she just heard. She fixed her glasses and cleared her throat.
"Okay. I will give the judge a good report so you can be able to adopt a baby. Expect a call in two days or less", she said before walking out.
I stood up and ran towards Jimin to hug him. He picked me up and spun me around.
"We're finally gonna have a family", he smiled.
"All because of you", I smiled back.
