Niklaus' POV
The moment Valerie went into the restroom, I became too restless. They were many times that I wanted to barge in there, but I needed her to do her thing in peace, without pressure from me.
When she finally came out, I sprang up like a man possessed. The expression on her face made my heart skip terribly. She looked like she was holding back tears. Doctor Willow went out to give us some privacy.
"What does it say?" I asked, and she burst into sobs. I pulled her close, wrapping my hands around her, while my heart squeezed with pain.
For a moment, I thought it was true, that we were going to have it easy. I told Valerie that I was okay without a child— I meant it, but it would had been nice to have one at least. "It's okay. It's okay, I'm here for you. It doesn't matter."
