Hayley's POV

I hold Madison's hand while we watch the doctor give her an ultrasound to see if the IVF treatments have been doing what they are supposed to.

"Alright," the doctor says as she takes the wandy thing off Madison's stomach. "Everything is looking good. I think we are almost there," she says happily.

"Really?" I ask, trying not to sound too hopeful.

"Yes. The lining is looking really good. I, however, would like it to thicken up a little more before we try and start the transfer. But we are nearly there," she says optimistically and I nod.

"That's great," Madison says with a smile before looking up at me. "Isn't it honey?" she asks and I smile back at her.

"Yeah, it is," I say as I squeeze her hand.

"Well, I'll leave you to get cleaned up," the doctor says as she puts the ultrasound machine away and takes off her gloves.

"Thanks Doctor," I say as I watch her quickly write something down on a chart.

"Of course. Make your next appointment with the nurse before you leave," she says with a small smile before walking out of the room.

"I can't believe this is happening again," Madison says as she lays back on the exam table. "I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I'm getting a little excited," she says as she turns her head to look at me.

"I know, me too," I say with a warm smile. "Come on. Let's get you cleaned up so we can head home," I say and she nods.

"Okay."

Madison gets cleaned off and we go to make our next appointment with the nurse at the desk before heading out to our car.

The majority of our drive home is silent. Madison's excitement seems to have declined a little since we left the hospital and I think I can understand why.

"What if this ends up not working?" she asks suddenly. "We can't exactly afford to try this again," she says sadly.

I frown as I keep my eyes focused on the road. "If this doesn't work we can try something else. We can always try something more traditional," I say and quickly look at her only to see her make a face.

"You mean having sex with a man?" she asks in what sounds to be disgust.

I laugh as I bring my eyes back onto the road. "Not exactly. I was thinking more like a turkey baster," I say and she laughs a little as well. "Theres also adoption," I say and I hear her sigh in the passenger seat.

"Yeah. I guess you are right... I just really want this to work out. I really want to have a baby and I don't know what we would do if we lost another one," she says sadly.

We pull up to a red light and I take one of my hands off the steering wheel and reach over to take her hand into mine. I hold her hand and squeeze it.

"I know, sweetie. We just need to have faith that everything will work out the way it's supposed to in the end," I say and she smiles at me sadly.

"I love you," she says and I smile back at her.

"You too," I say before hearing a car honk behind me, letting me know that the light has turned green.

I focus back on the road and take my foot off the brake as I start to drive again. The remainder of the drive home is quiet but nice. Madison kept her hand in mine the entire way home. I pull up into the driveway of our house and finally remove my hand from hers so I can put the car in park. I turn the engine off before turning in my seat to look at her.
