Over the next couple of weeks, our life together remained peaceful and happy. David seemed better and I believed he, like myself, was adjusting. It was now mid-September, and we were gearing up for our trip to Europe. I had discussed the trip with Dr. Rossi, and she gave me her blessing to go. We were flying out on October 10th. We would be visiting England, Italy and France. I still had morning sickness, but it didn’t last for long. I felt sick when I got up and within an hour or less I felt better.

I got up that morning and felt horrible. I threw up and had an awful discomfort in my stomach and pain in my side. I went downstairs, and Charlie looked at me.

If it were not David’s baby, I’d have to get pregnant right away to fix things for him. The only thing I knew for sure was that it was going to be blessed and loved by three parents. My heart swelled, filled with so much love, hope and peace at that moment, and I drifted off to
