They both came from big families,
3 or 4 of their own, was the hope.
Excitement, nausea, cravings, bleeding,
Then nothing.
22 weeks, twins, gush of fluid,
Then nothing.
Term, cramping, infection, silence,
Then nothing.
Nightly injections, scans, more scans,
Then nothing.
Surrogate, paperwork, lawyers,
Then nothing.
Tears, hope, just one more try,
Finally, something.
