Kidding Around

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes... well, for Boyd and Emily Hartman, then comes nothing.

Childhood sweethearts who grew up planning their lives together, infertility throws a spanner in the works. They have it all planned out: medical school, surprise wedding, and then conceiving on their Italian honeymoon. But sometimes even the best laid plans don't work out.

Month after month, Emily's period arrives like clockwork, along with the disappointment of not being any closer to holding a baby in her arms. She has dreamt of a large family. An only child, adopted as a baby to parents who had experienced infertility themselves, she would choose motherhood over medicine any day of the week.

For Boyd, the idea of giving children the idyllic childhood he experienced has been the dream. He wants cousins for his nieces. A big kid himself, he wants to dedicate his working life to sick kids and become a paediatrician. Kids are awesome. But why can't he make a baby with her?

Will the pain and disappointment of infertility place a wedge in their relationship, or are they really meant to be always and forever?\
