How could she not be frightened? I was frightened too. I put my arms around her and hugged her for the longest time. "Don't worry, don't worry-you're not alone. We'll figure it out, don't worry." "I don't know how it happened. My gynecologist said that it only happens with this new IUD maybe once every 100,000 times." "Well, that's a consolation." She laughed. I pulled down the cover and fluffed up the pillows. Then we both got into bed, and I held her. "I don't want to make trouble for you," she said. "I'm so sorry." "Please don't say that. You have nothing to be sorry for." "You're not angry, dear?" "Of course not. Please don't talk like that again. We'll figure out what's best. Don't worry now." And I held her until we both fell asleep."
