Chapter 0524
Finally breaking the silence, Enzo looked atwith a grave expression. "Nina, we should talk about... the other
scenario."
| felt a knot form in my stomach. "What other scenario?" | asked, even though | knew the answer perfectly well.
He hesitated, clearly choosing his words carefully. "Well, what if this pregnancy... doesn't work out in the end?"
His words hung in the air like a dark cloud, casting the room into further shadow. It was a possibility, a cruel and
ugly possibility that | hadn't wanted to allow myself to think about. But hearing him say it out loud made it
suddenly all too real.
"That's not going to happen," | said quickly, as if saying it with enough conviction would make it true.
"We don't know that," Enzo replied softly. "The symptoms you're experiencing, the history with your mother-"
I cut him off. "I don't want to consider this, Enzo. It's too much."
His eyes met mine, filled with a deep, soul-wrenching love that made it even harder to look at him. "Nina, you
might have to."
| sighed, realizing that he was right.
"Look," he continued, reaching across the bed to squeeze my hand. "It's a possibility. | think we should be

about attempting to bake a cake again because the first one didn't rise."
"Nina, that's not what | meant. I just don't want you to feel like this is your only chance."
| felt tears stinging the corners of my eyes, but | refused to let them fall. "But what if it is?" | murmured, looking
away. "What if I'm doomed to lose this child, and | can't have another?"
"Nina, listen," he said, moving closer toon the bed. "I think you're tired, and you're scared, and you're angry.
But nothing is set in stone yet, okay? You just need to be open to the possibilities, that's all."
"Easy for you to say," | muttered, brushing away a tear that had managed to escape.
He reached out to cup my face, forcingto look into his eyes. "Nina, do you remember our vows? For better or
worse, in sickness and in health? This is our 'worse, our 'sickness.' And | meant every word when | said I'd stand
by you."
His words broke something inside me, and the tears I'd been holding back flowed freely down my cheeks. "I'm
scared, Enzo. | never thought | would be saying this, but dammit, | don't want to lose this baby."
"I know," he whispered, pullinginto a tight embrace. "And I'm scared too. But we're in this together, and we'll
face whatever comes our way. | promise you, Nina, I'll be right here."
"But what if 'here' isn't enough? What if love alone isn't enough to save our child?"
