into your arms
Mia had always felt close to her grandfather, she could tell him anything, even when she came out as a lesbian to him, he remained supportive, loving her through everything, he was really and truthfully the only person who really understood Mia for who she was, never judged her once which was comforting, but one phone call changed her entire life. He had a stroke and had to be put in the hospital, after the call Jen walked in and saw Mia upset, Mia let herself be upset around Jen. Jen let Mia cry until she felt comfortable speaking about it, ‘he had a stroke’ Mia said, still crying, ‘hey, don’t worry he’ll be okay’ Jen said, brushing away her tear away, ‘it was pretty bad though-‘ Mia said, stopping what she was saying, breaking down even more, living without someone who meant that much to her was the most painful thing she had ever felt. Jen continued hugging Mia, ‘let it all out, it’ll be okay’ Jen said, comforting her, Mia breaking down even more, holding her tighter with every thought. Eventually Henry and Charlie came in their room, concerned for their now mom, ‘mom? you okay?’ they both asked, concerned, ‘yeah, I’m okay’ she said, putting on a brave face, wiping away her tears, they didn’t have to ask, they knew she wasn’t okay, they immediately hugged her, not knowing what was happening, by then Mia had just turned 30 and Jen was 31, but the boys were 12 and 10, they didn’t know what was happening. All they knew is that their mom was crying and definitely needed a hug, something that made her feel better with being a mother to them. But after the boys left Mia continued crying, Jen had kissed Mia, knowing when Mia was vulnerable, those kisses had meant the world to her.
Two weeks went by since that phone call, Mia was wondering what could happen on a day to day basis, she was stressed, he was the only person in Mia’s family who properly understood her, besides Jen of course. But it was antagonizing, waiting to know, scared of what might happen, waiting for a call on if he was okay was the hardest thing. Mia felt empty, almost broken every day no one called. But the day she got the call back, she felt like she was in slow motion, everything just stopped for a moment. Then it happened. She got the call, without hesitation, she grabbed her keys, ran down the stairs, and told Jen ‘we gotta go, now’ Mia said, without hesitation, she drove fast getting to the hospital, the tires on her white Porsche squealed as she stopped in front of the hospital, running inside as Jen followed behind her, ‘I need to see Jacob Delaney’ she said, soon after she was directed to the room he was in, she ran in heels, having her big black coat move as she ran, not even caring if Jen couldn’t catch up, eventually getting to the room, he flatlined, Mia lost control in that moment, she fell to the ground, sobbing, feeling completely heartbroken, losing the only person who truly understood her was the hardest thing she had ever felt.‘no, no, no’ ‘I didn’t even get to say goodbye’ Mia said, sobbing, having Jen hold her close, stroking her hair, ‘he was the only person who understood me’ she said, sobbing, Jen holding her close as she had her hands wrapped around Jen’s arms, Jen let Mia be vulnerable and cry, Jen let Mia hug her during the funeral, which made her feel safe, Jen was there for her, but that truly did traumatize Mia. She was heartbroken.
Jen gave Mia time before they started trying for a baby, she didn’t want her to stress out during the insemination process. Jen was 31 and Mia had just turned 30, but Jen just couldn’t conceive again, it was hard for them. They had been married 6 months by that point, going on 7 months, but eventually when Mia was ready they started trying for a baby.
After starting the insemination process, Mia showed most signs of being pregnant, especially throwing up, but when Jen was at home one day, Mia decided to take a test, many of them. Jen and Mia decided to flip the tests over together, excited to see what could happen. But when they flipped them over, they got more excited about the tests that had said positive, none were false. In shock, Mia looked at Jen, she smiled, looking down at all the positive tests, ‘we’re having a baby!’ Mia said, excitedly, hugging Jen immediately, they both smiled in happiness, soon after kissing each other sweetly, they were about to become a family. Which made Mia happy, as she never truly felt like a parent to the boys, even though she hated to admit it. But she was happy, especially to tell the boys about the pregnancy. They were so happy. They couldn’t wait to have a little them running around, they felt truly happy. And couldn’t wait to find out what they may be having or when their little one may be born. They were the happiest they had ever been.
