Summary
And that’s all it takes for Emily’s sobs to flood the room. The nurse lays Emily’s leg gently on the mattress and reaches for the tie at the front of her nursing gown as JJ leans Emily back against the bed. JJ sobs in unison with her wife as she watches the midwife lay a tiny, beautiful being between Emily’s breasts—and she forgets how to breathe.
Follow JJ and Emily through the process of starting a family. You'll see them become moms, deal with mental health/neurodivergence diagnoses, and navigate life together.

Summary
The electricity in the air envelops my nerves, suffocating and fraying every fiber that’s keeping my body connected to its lifeline. My eyes flutter around the tears that are threatening to fall, my heart quaking as I take in the team. The energy shifts and cracks and, for a split second, I want the fault beneath my feet to open and swallow me. I want more than anything to take their pain away, to tell them what they need to hear. The look in their eyes shatters me and I don’t think I will ever come back from what’s about to come out of my mouth.
“She never made it off the table,” the words stick in my throat, collecting around the knot that’s been growing and expanding with each friends’ tear-stained glances.
