I Thought Crying Would Be Enough

I have a heart condition, and the doctors said I shouldn't have children. My husband couldn't bear to see me suffer, so he spent millions to freeze our embryos. "Once you've recovered a little more, whenever you want a baby, we'll try then." In our five years of marriage, every time I brought up having a child, Les would refuse, his eyes red at the rims. "I can't stand the thought of you going through that pain. Compared to a child, all I want is you."
