Samantha was perfect, so is her husband. having an ugly son is unacceptable.

Her husband was devastated, while she did a lot of faking; fake tears, fake words. He would have never approved if he found out the truth...

A year passed & she gave birth to another child. But this time it's a beautiful baby girl. He was once again satisfied, and at last she was too.

Some 5 years later She had a walk with her daughter in that familiar bridge.

Midway through, her daughter hugged her very tightly, "What's wrong sweetie?" She asked.

Her daughter replied with a whimper "I'm scared, so scared, I love you mommy, I've always loved you." ..

"Oh, I love you too sweetheart, But what are you afraid of?" ..

"I'm afraid you'll drop me off this bridge, again."
