Chapter 21: A Glimmer of Hope
The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, but Thelma and Jason's determination never wavered. They continued to try, their love for each other fueling their desire to build a family.
Thelma's fertility medications were adjusted, and she started taking a new medication that her doctor hoped would increase her chances of getting pregnant. Jason was by her side throughout the process, holding her hand and offering words of encouragement.
As they waited for the medication to take effect, Thelma started to feel a sense of hope that she hadn't felt in a long time. She began to imagine what it would be like to hold a baby in her arms, to feel its tiny hands wrap around her finger, and to hear its soft coos and giggles.
Jason noticed the change in Thelma and was thrilled to see her smiling again. He knew that she was putting a lot of pressure on herself, but he was glad to see her feeling more positive.
"I think we're getting close, Jason," Thelma said one day, her eyes shining with excitement. "I can feel it."
Jason smiled and pulled her close. "I think you might be right, Thelma," he replied. "I think we're going to be parents soon."
Thelma's heart skipped a beat at the thought. She couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.
As they continued to try, Thelma started to notice changes in her body. She felt more energized, and her periods were becoming more regular. She started to feel like her body was responding to the medication, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of hope.
Jason noticed the changes too, and he was thrilled to see Thelma feeling more confident. He knew that they were getting close, and he couldn't wait to see the positive pregnancy test.
