How had this happened?
Natalie felt as if she might be a passerby lately. It felt all her hopes and dreams crashed soon after she had Niah.
The birthing was fairly easy. Even the doctor told her she could have five more babies easily. She thought he was crazy for saying such nonsense, especially since she couldn't seem to steady herself in any way these days.
She was so tired. No way could she help Joon around the house and when he came home from work, all she wanted to do was hand the baby off to him.
"It's not working out," She let slip to Holly who was over helping her with the little one.
"Well, you can't bring it back to the store!" Holly laid down the law. Natalie had to take responsibility. After all, Joon found a good job with good insurance. Of course, Natalie didn't want to hear this. She knew she was in the wrong but wasn't up to doing anything.
Didn't her friend see how she was suffering? Her body was in such pain. She'd given so much to this thing that she and Joon created.
"If you can't sense what God has given you, then you're the most ungrateful being I've ever met." Holly was even lipped as if she expected Natalie to snap out of it, but she didn't know how.
Finally, Joon took off the coming weeks and if they could somehow find a way for Natalie get her act back together.
She wanted them to be a team, a family, but she felt each day was full of sorrow, not the happiness she imagined.
