“I didn’t think it was possible. I’m so sorry…”
“Sorry? What for?” Zane burst, grabbing hold of me, “This is the best news! We’re going to have a baby together. It’s real. It’s happening.”
Now the tears started spilling. It was all starting to sink in, “I’m going to be a mom!”
Both of us cried at that moment, wrapped in one another’s arms, thanking the world for the miracle it had brought us. I had always wanted to be a mother, but I had locked my dream away when I was told it wasn’t a possibility. Now it was coming true with the man I loved. That was one of the happiest moments in my life.
Now, it’s the birth of my daughter, Alasne. It's of Basque origin, meaning ‘miracle’, which of course, she was.
Jian moved back home now from college and was staying in his old room. Weirdly enough, as the months have gone by, he’s taken to calling me mom, and it just feels right. I’ve known him since he was a baby, and although I watched him grow up from afar, he feels like one of mine. I love him as much as I love my new daughter, and together, we’re all one big happy family. Just a little over a year ago, I would have never dreamed about having this moment – sitting here, writing this letter about the children I have and the man I love. And yet here I am, with the family I always wanted.
Sometimes love isn’t always about finding something new. Sometimes it’s realizing what you already have. In my case, it had been there all along.
~Elina Miller & Zane Chen
