Brandon cut her off. “I’ve had patients with the same condition. Some got pregnant naturally, no surgery needed.”

“Aren’t you just clinging to blind luck?” A bitter laugh slipped out of Yvette. “It’s like buying a lottery ticket. The odds are practically nothing, isn’t it?”

Brandon fell silent.

He couldn’t argue with her.

The chances were slim, but they existed.

“Tell me the truth.” Yvette squeezed his hand, hope shining in her eyes.

Brandon gazed softly at her anxious face. He stroked her cheek gently, his voice quiet and

warm.

“Yvette, if we have a baby, great. If not, that’s okay too. Don’t beat yourself up over it.”

“What if I get surgery? Will my chances go up?” Yvette refused to give up.

She held traditional beliefs. She wanted to carry a child for the man she loved.

To her, a baby made a family feel whole, happy and complete.

Without one, she felt unsafe. Deep down, she feared Brandon would leave her someday and start a family with another woman.

It stemmed from insecurity and self–doubt, but she desperately wanted a baby that belonged only to them.

“It’ll improve the success rate, but not by much.” Brandon breathed out a quiet sigh. “I don’t want you going under the knife just to conceive.”

“How much will it improve?” Yvette pressed.

Brandon’s expression turned serious. He leaned back against the seat and looked at her, pure sympathy in his eyes.

“Between artificial insemination and surgery, which one is harder on my body?” Yvette kept asking, growing more anxious.

Brandon dropped his hand and closed his eyes. “Both take a toll on your body. We’re doing neither. Let things happen naturally.”

“Brandon.” Yvette’s lip trembled. Anxiety gnawed at her, yet he seemed unwilling to help.

He turned down her wish to become a mother, all to keep her from physical pain.

Frustrated, Yvette twisted away from him. She stared out the window, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She roughly wiped her tears away, murmuring in frustration, “You panicked over Zoe when she was sick. But when it’s me, you don’t care at all.”

Brandon’s eyes shot open, locking onto Yvette.

She had her back to him, clearly upset.

He pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her from behind. He rested his head on her shoulder and spoke in a soft whisper.

“Yvette, don’t think that about me.”

“But it’s true.”

“You aren’t sick. I hate the thought of you getting unnecessary surgery. I don’t want you hurt. How is that not caring?” Brandon mumbled, sounding wronged. “You mean more to me than any child.”

“But I want a baby.” Yvette hung her head, tears spilling down her face.

Brandon turned her to face him. He held her shoulders, staring at her tear–streaked face. He brushed her tears away with his thumb, his touch tender.

“We’re still young. If we keep trying naturally, our odds will get better. Who says we can’t get lucky?”

Yvette met his sincere gaze, still uneasy. “But I know you want a baby too.”

“When did I ever say that?” Brandon looked confused.

“You got mad when I took birth control. When I said I didn’t want kids, you told me we’d have one eventually, that it was better to start early. I know you-”

Brandon pulled her tight into his arms, cutting her off. “Silly girl. I was scared someone would take you from me. I wanted a baby to keep you by my side.”

“Who did you think would take me?”

“That guy you used to have feelings for.”

“I’ve already told you, it was always you,” Yvette mumbled.

Brandon smiled and kissed her forehead. “I used to overthink it. Now I know better, and I don’t worry anymore.”

“Do you really not want a baby?”

“Your health and happiness come first, before anything.” Every word Brandon spoke was heartfelt. “If we still haven’t conceived by the time you turn 30, I’ll perform your surgery myself. If five more years pass and you still want a baby badly, we’ll try IVF. I won’t let you get surgery unless there’s no other way.”

“Okay.” Yvette wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, pressing her face to his chest to soak up his warmth and steady heartbeat.

In that moment, she finally understood his way of loving her.

Anxious concern wasn’t true love. Putting her health above everything and shielding her from pain–that was how he loved her.

Brandon lowered his head to her ear, his voice quiet and husky. “We can try more often. It’ll boost our chances.”

Yvette’s face burned red. She buried herself deeper in his chest and gave his torso a soft, playful shove. “You’re only saying that for yourself.”

“I can want both.” Brandon let out a low chuckle and kissed the top of her scented hair.

Yvette fell silent, closing her eyes to relish the comfort of his embrace.

After a brief pause, Brandon’s deep voice rumbled above her head. “Yvette, that girl Ray–the one who likes women. Does she have a crush on you?”
