cw: infertility
[name_f]Roberta[/name_f] āBirdieā Mayweather [name_m]Clark[/name_m] [29] is the former homeless woman turned model who [name_f]Serene[/name_f] [name_f]Genna[/name_f] helped. She hadnāt always lived on the streets, it was a much more recent development that occurred after years of an bad marriage. But they werenāt always such a toxic couple, she married her high school sweetheart right after graduation. Both of them came from big families and wanted children, so they got started trying right away. But they never conceived even years into their marriage. After getting tested by a doctor she found out that it would be extremely unlikely for her to have a baby, and if she did eventually become pregnant she would not be able to carry it to term. The news was heartbreaking for the both of them.
They tried to make due with just the two of them, her husband suggested adoption but being adopted herself [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] was somewhat hesitant as she still holds a lot of trauma from that experience of being in foster care. She could tell that their efforts to ignore the fact that they both wanted children was failing. It lead to them fighting constantly over practically nothing at all, which of course meant that they were really just having the same fight about the fact that [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] couldnāt give him a child.
Unfortunately, he found someone who could. Birdieās husband announced that he had been having an affair with his secretary and that she was pregnant. Requesting a divorce right then and there, also adding that he wanted her out of the house by the end of the weekend. Surprised, but not shocked by the news she quickly gathered her things and left as soon as possible. She was unable to even stand to look at her now soon-to-be-ex-husband.
Her family all lived out of state and she didnāt want to bother them, or for them to know that her marriage had failed, so she took to staying on the streets or in shelters while looking for a job. [name_f]Serene[/name_f] was a god send and now she has a steady job of modeling clothes for indie brands that focus on sustainability. Though now sheāll have to start modeling a new line of fashion, maternity clothes. As of yesterday sheās ten weeks pregnant with her little miracle. Her and her current boyfriend, a photographer for one of the brands she works for, are nervously excited. Between photoshoots theyāve been making visits to a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies and according to them the baby is healthy and the pregnancy is stable.
