Story Plot

Another few years have passed since the events of the previous parts. Ruth has quite recently turned 30, while John(for a few years her husband) is slowly approaching 50. They both decide that it is high time to have a child. John, however, first goes to a doctor's appointment to find out if it is safe to have a biological child at his age. During the conversation, the doctor tells him that at his age there are quite a few risks to the baby, so he should get checked out. John, however, on the same day asks other people on one of the online forums whether it's safe to have a biological offspring at this age and whether there is indeed a risk of dangers such as diseases. The answers he gets include: "When I was born my father was almost 60, I'm healthy," "My father was 55, I don't see contraindications," and other assurances that there is nothing to worry about. Together with Ruth, they begin their efforts. His beloved becomes pregnant but after a few months.... a miscarriage occurs. Both are devastated. Tests show that John is to blame. Ruth has a huge grudge against John that he did not listen to the doctor and get checked, he himself has a guilty conscience. After this miscarriage, Ruth is panic-stricken about getting pregnant a second time. When they finally manage to reconcile with each other, they decide to adopt or surrogate.
