We Just Want a Baby

Episode 15

Tiffany

Tiffany paced the warm tiles of her heated bathroom floor. She had set her alarm for three minutes, and it took everything inside of her not to peep at the test. “Please, Jesus, let it be this time, Lord. I have everything but—” she was cut off.

The alarm sounded off before she could finish her sentence. With her fingers crossed tightly, she looked at the little window that only had one line, indicating that the test was negative. She picked up the stick and blinked at the test, hoping the second line would magically appear, and before long, her lashes were wet from the tears that fell. “Negative, again,” she sniffled. She put the stick down and put her palms down on the granite vanity.

It had been six months and no pregnancy. “God, why me? I mean, I have everything a woman could ask for but a baby, Lord. Please, God, just bless my womb to give my husband children,” she cried. She took the stick and tossed it into the wastebasket, and then she started the water to wash her face. Kory would be home soon, and she didn’t want to look like she had been crying because she’d have to tell him why.

He’d told her that morning to wait until she missed her period, but she was too anxious, and knew in her gut she was, but now she had the results that she wasn’t.

She headed down the steps and went into the kitchen. She wasn’t pregnant—again. Again, another negative, so she reached for her favorite thing—wine. After pouring a glass and savoring the flavor, she grabbed her phone and called Asia.

“Hey,” Tiffany said after hearing Asia’s voice.

She also heard the sounds of a screaming baby, and then Asia said. “Tiff, mi must give yah ah call back,” in a Jamaican dialect rush.

“China?” She asked, knowing it was Asia’s baby girl screaming at the top of her little lungs.

“Yes, she’s in a mood. I’ma hit yah back.” Asia hung up before Tiffany could say okay. Asia went into labor two nights after her wedding. Tiffany didn’t understand how she tried to hide it anyways, because by the time she walked down the aisle, she was thirty-five weeks and looked pregnant, so her secret was out.

Tiffany scrolled through her contacts, and then called Rose. She needed someone to vent to, to cry to, and to get answers from, because God wasn’t telling her anything. The doctors said she was fine, and that Kory could impregnate a small village, so she was stumped why there was no baby inside of her after six long months of trying.

“Hey, lady,” Rose sang.

“Hey, girl, why so cheery?”

“Do you have to ask?”

“It must be Levi again.”

“It is, it is. Girl, he is a great guy, Tiff, and you were right. I’m falling for that man.”

“I bet. I told you.” Tiffany thought twice about bringing up her issue now. She didn’t want to bring Rose’s mood down.

“Girl, yes, so what’s
