ONE YEAR LATER
"I'm sorry but your test results came back the same way."
Eliana's heart sank when she heard the doctor's words. "Oh."
Seeing the sadness in Eliana's eyes, the doctor said, "You may not be able to get pregnant the normal way, but there are other methods you can try."
"Like?"
"Surrogacy or maybe adoption."
"Why not IVF?"
"Given your test results, I wouldn't recommend IVF. I'm so sorry, Mrs Sanders."
There was no emotion in Eliana's face as she replied "It's alright, I get it. Thank you very much."
Eliana left the hospital and went back to her car absentmindedly. She sat inside the car without saying anything for a few seconds and suddenly burst into tears.
Eliana didn't know how long she sat in that car crying, but her heart sank even further when her phone rang, and it was Zach calling.
She cleaned her eyes and took in a deep breath before she answered "Hello."
