we will be your family, whatever happened

Dilan

Riley was in her room crying uncontrollably, of all the days of her life, this was definitely the worst of all.

Mac and Riley had been married for over a year and finally decided they wanted a baby, they tried many times but were unsuccessful.

After trying so much, they decided to see a doctor and ask why she couldn't get pregnant. After a couple of tests, the results came back, and it was very bad news.

The doctor approached them with a serious look, and from that moment they knew they were receiving bad news. The doctor looked at them seriously and told them that Riley could not get pregnant as she was sterile.

Riley cried as if she had never cried in her life, and Mac, like any rational husband, gave her all his love and support.

But whatever happened when they got home, Riley practically ran into the bedroom and shut the door.

Mac sat on the floor with Lula the dog they had adopted a while ago, he leaned against the door of the room since he knew that she was going to open the door at some point, and he would be there to talk to her.

"Riles, open the door," Mac begged him.

"leave me alone, Mac" he yelled from the room

"honey, please let's talk" said Mac.

After a few minutes of silence, Riley opened the door, Mac stood up and walked over to her to hug her.

"Sorry, Mac," she apologized through tears.

"Honey, you have nothing to apologize for, this is not your fault," Mac said.

"But you wanted a baby, and I ..." Mac interrupted her when he gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

"It always opens up other options," Mac said.

"I don't want to adopt, I wanted a baby of ours," I cry into his chest.

"Easy, my love, everything will be fine," said Mac.

After a few minutes in which Riley didn't stop crying, Mac lifted her off the floor and carried her to the bed, tucked her in the blankets and kissed her forehead.

"Get some rest, clear your mind, I'll make dinner," Mac said.

Riley nodded and settled into bed, and Lula lay down next to him, Mac decided to make chicken soup as it was one of the things he knew would make burning it almost impossible and also because Bozer taught him to do that.

After an hour the soup was ready, Mac and Riley were at the tables eating quietly when Lula got up from her spot and ran to the door and started barking.

"What is it, Lula?" Mac asked the bitch

"I think there's someone out there," Riley said as he got up.

Riley opened the door for Lula and ran quickly toward some trees in the driveway. Mac stopped behind Riley and looked at Lula running towards the trees.

Lula stopped in front of one of the largest and widest trees, behind the tree appeared a boy who seemed to be very afraid of Lula.
