Grey's Tale ✅

Daniel

I took a deep breath as the car pulled up to my house, its been three months since I've been here, sometimes I really hate my job but it is good to come home to a family.

I got out of the car with two gifts in my hand, one for my wife the other for my son.

Sadly I missed Finn's 2nd birthday, hopefully he would forgive me. It broke me to see and hear him cry when I told him I wouldn't be home by the time his birthday came

I entered the house which was strangely quiet. I went into the kitchen first, there was my amazing wife feeding our son.

Her skin was tanned, her hair was glossy, eyes bright as she looked at Finn, a big smile decorated her beautiful face.

"Dad!!" The boy jumped of the chair and ran over to his father

"I missed you" Daniel smiled, he placed down his gifts and lifted his son, the boy put his face in the crock of his father's neck.

Daniel felt warm liquid dampen his neck. His heart cracked at the thought of him being the reason of his son's pain

"It's great that you're here, your son has been begging for a sibling" Daniel raised a brow

He placed down his son and knelt down in front of him.

"You want to be a big brother?" he nodded eagerly

"Yes!, I want a little sister like my friends do. Her name needs to be Flora" he ruffled his son's hair

"Babies are a big responsibility do you think you can handle that" he smiled brightly

"Yes sir!" A small chuckle came from Daniel

"Maybe one day your wish will come try" he gave a half smile to Vivian as she blushed

Ever since Daniel returned the couple had been trying to conceive a baby but to no luck, time after time, negative pregnancy test after another

Frustration settled in, especially for Vivian she craved having another baby. They both decided to get themselves checked, Daniel was completely fine then came Vivian's turn.

Vivian's pregnancy was life threatening but she defined all law and had a baby, after him there was severe damage to her womb leaving her with one ovary but there was still a chance for her to get pregnant again.

Soon after she did conceive again but it resulted in a miscarriage, two miscarriages after she conceived again but it was an ectopic pregnancy so the baby had to be removed as she would not survive another life threatening pregnancy

The words premature menopause left the doctors lips, she froze. There was little to no chance of her getting pregnant. Her eyes laid upon the child who destroyed her womb, hate was all she could feel.

Vivian went home that day refusing to hold her son's hand, Daniel felt sorry for his wife but still believed that she could at least try not to show her frustration in front of their son

Vivian distanced herself from her son, he was a reminder of her infertility. Finn always wanted to cling onto his mother but instead of embracing him she was cold.

Slowly Finn drifted to his father for attention and he got it, Daniel was now the person to help him clean up, feed him and overall be his caretaker. Daniel's brother also became someone of interest for Finn but he did not visit often as his mother did not like his presence very much especially when it came to Finn
