I Saw It First at Home

This part is better told from her side.


I remember that day… I didn’t tell anyone I was going to test.

It was still a few days before the actual blood test.
But somehow, I just wanted to know.

So I tried at home first.

I didn’t make it into a big moment.
Just… quietly doing it on my own.

When I looked at it,
I saw two lines.

I paused for a while.

Didn’t react immediately.
Didn’t say anything.

I just kept looking at it,
making sure I wasn’t seeing it wrong.

It felt very quiet in that moment.

Not loud happiness.
Not shock.

Just… something settled inside me.

Like I already knew,
but still waiting for confirmation.

I didn’t rush to tell anyone.
I just kept it with me first.

Then a few days later,
we went back for the test.

But that moment at home—
that was the first time I saw it.
