„Du has letztes Jahr zwei Schwangerschaften verren. Als der Arzt mir sagte, was sie vermuteten, erinnerte ich mich daran, wie du mich im Krankenhaus angefleht hast, dir keine schlechten Nachrichten mehr zu sagen, bevor sie bestätigt sind. Ich dachte, ich könnte diese Last ein for Tage allein tragen.
“Und warum hat Emma gesagt, is it sei ein Geheimnis?”
Seine Augen füllten sich mit Tränen.
I asked him not to tell you anything about the medicine. I wanted to protect you. But I didn’t realize how scary everything should look like from your point of view.
I couldn’t look him in the eye.
The worst thoughts had already invaded my mind, while he carried alone, night after night, in fear that we could lose our daughter.
The doctor left a document on the table.
The tumor is completely benign. Your daughter is not in danger. The stain should disappear in a few weeks.
Daniel closed his eyes and, for the first time in front of me, burst into tears.
I approached him and hugged him tightly.
When we returned home that night, we entered Emma’s room together. He slept hugging his stuffed rabbit with both arms.
Daniel kissed his forehead and whispered:
“It won’t hurt anymore, honey.
I took his hand.
Since that day there have been no more secrets in our home.
And from then on, we always bathe Emma together.
