Marissa and Reanne, after years of invitro fertilization are finally having the baby they so desperately sought. There is a surprise though, there isn’t just one, there are three. The mothers-to-be happily look forward to telling their families about the impending births. Unfortunately, Marissa’s mother and father vehemently refuse to accept these extra children. They believe that multiple offspring are the work of the devil and they will do anything to rid their misguided daughter and her wife of these unwanted offspring.
This is based on a true story.
Genre: FICTION / LesbianSold fairly well. First book I wrote after a hiatus due to illness.
Reanne was crying and Marissa was holding her as the doctor stood nearby holding a clipboard. She started to look uneasy as the scene went on a little too long but she didn’t wish to leave, her patient’s welfare was too important to her. She never liked delivering this kind of news, but knew how long this couple had been trying. The expense had taken all their savings and having one more unsuccessful implantation was causing the heartbreak she was witnessing.
Finally, Reanne pulled back, seeing the tears streaming down Marissa’s face just as hard as her own. She smiled weakly as she reached to wipe them away from her wife’s cheeks. Marissa smiled in return as she dabbed at Reanne’s face with a tissue she had been wise enough to be holding. Sniffling deeply, Reanne blinked rapidly as she pulled herself together.
“Better?” Marissa asked gruffly, her swollen throat giving away her own grief over this blow to their plans. They’d had such high hopes that this time would be successful. They’d had high hopes every time.
Reanne nodded and shrugged, negating whatever could be inferred by her nod. She smiled wryly at the mixed message but knew that her wife understood.
