They day finally arrived and both Alice and Tasha couldn’t be more excited. They were completely moved and in and satisfied with their newly built home. Angelica had stayed with them overnight and they were expecting their guest to arrive in a few hours. Both Alice and Tasha had been working around the clock to ensure that everything was perfect and went according to plan. The previous day various deliveries were being made to the house. To help keep things semi organized Tasha begins to stack items neatly against the wall in their dining room. While stacking the cases of soda she didn’t want to take the risk of them falling over. She walks in the den and opens a drawer hoping to find some tape to help secure the boxes. Instead of finding tape she sees four different pregnancy pamphlets. Curious, she picks them up and starts reading them. All four pamphlets contained information about donors, what to expect in different stages of pregnancy, how your body changes, and new born baby information. Putting the pamphlets down Tasha also sees a business card for a company specializing in assisting same sex couples with adoption and pregnancy options. Flipping the card over she sees an appointment date that took place eight months ago.

Staring at the information, “Alice wants a baby, “she says to herself. Many years ago she remembers discussing children with her but nothing was ever concrete. “Eight months ago, why hasn’t she talked to me about this?”

“Hey, Tash I was thinking it would be better to move the bar tent back against the wall that way—————, “Alice stops talking as she sees the pamphlets lying on top of the dresser.

Not saying a word and making eye contact with her Tasha stares at her.

“Tash, I know what you’re going to say but before you do those pamphlets should have been thrown away, “Alice says trying her best to diffuse the conversation.

“Why, do you have these in the first place?”

“It’s nothing Tash okay, “Alice says walking over and throwing the pamphlets in the small trash bin next to the dresser.

“Al, I think it’s more than nothing you———-.”

“Really, it’s nothing I was just messing around and I forgot to throw them away that’s all, “she says trying not to get emotional.
