Victoria’s routine is disrupted one evening when she discovers a stroller on her lawn, beautifully decorated with yellow lilies and a heartfelt note from her husband, Arthur. The note reveals Arthur’s sudden change of heart: he is now ready to start a family. This surprise is both overwhelming and distressing for Victoria because she has been hiding a significant secret from Arthur—she is unable to have children due to infertility.

Victoria and Arthur had previously discussed their differing views on having children. Arthur had expressed a desire to travel and avoid the responsibilities of parenthood, and Victoria had chosen not to challenge this stance, as it aligned with her own quiet acceptance of her condition.

However, Arthur’s unexpected gesture forces Victoria to confront her deepest fears and feelings of inadequacy. As she processes the note, tears and dread overwhelm her, making it difficult to reconcile her hidden reality with Arthur’s newfound wish.

When Arthur calls to check if Victoria received his surprise, her anxiety intensifies. She struggles to speak, her emotions running high. Arthur, sensing something is wrong, decides to come home immediately. As Victoria waits for him, she tries to keep busy by preparing dinner, but her mind is consumed with the weight of her secret and the fear of how Arthur will react.

Upon Arthur’s arrival, he finds Victoria in tears and urges her to share what’s troubling her. Victoria finally reveals the truth about her infertility and her reasons for not disclosing it sooner. Arthur’s reaction is unexpectedly gentle and supportive.

He reassures Victoria that her inability to conceive does not affect his feelings for her and that they can still build a family through adoption or fostering. He emphasizes that their relationship and love are more important than biological children.

Arthur’s understanding and commitment provide Victoria with relief and hope. They discuss the possibility of exploring adoption and fostering, acknowledging that these options can offer them the family they desire. They agree to keep the stroller as a symbol of their journey and future aspirations.

Arthur’s promise to share all aspects of their future together strengthens their bond. Victoria feels a renewed sense of partnership and support, realizing that they can face their challenges together. As they prepare for dinner, Victoria and Arthur embrace their commitment to each other and their evolving plans for building a family, no matter what form it takes.
