Years ago, a couple had newly married and awaited their first child with anticipation and happiness. Their lives had been nothing short of beautiful until then, and that was the last thing they needed: a child to anchor their family down and start a new stage in their lives.
But as the days passed, the mother started having problems with her pregnancy. Getting too tired, sickly, feeling extreme pain, and eventually, the child never made it.
Their first was a disaster, a sad and awful thing to experience, but it never managed to bring them down, and a year later, they were awaiting their second child.
But just like the first, it never made it beyond its six months and came out dead. No matter what healers or clerics they visited, the mother was just incapable of bearing the child that long. The reason remained unknown, and the two were finally breaking down, unwilling to try again and witness another of their children die.
