  An overprotective father

  Tom embraced Sally when he heard that the, embryo his wife was carrying was no longer endangered. They have endeavored for years to have a child. And, while empirical evidence had shown that it was impossible, they had embarked on a journey to pay any cost to embed an embryo in her womb.

  When they succeeded their emotion was too great to describe. Tom gave Sally a ring that he had embossed to read "Mother", he embellished an empty room in preparation for a baby, and he invited all of his eminent friends over for a dinner celebration. He embodied the happy father.

  When news of a threat to the embryo arose, Tom made sure that Sally enacted every recommendation of the doctor to protect it. When he heard that automobile emissions might be negatively influencing the womb, he installed protective material in Sally's room. When he thought that encounters with other people might risk getting sick as well, the room became the empire of all of her visitors. He did several other things that truly constrained Sallyto her bedroom.

  Word of a safe embryo now signaled to Sally an emergence from all of Tom' s emotive pre-cautions.She felt empowered and Tom agreed that she could have more freedom. He would no longer encompass every area of her life. He was just glad the baby was okay.

  When Sally gave birth to a baby girl two months later, she hugged Tom and thanked him for all of his craziness. Now they finally had a child.

  担惊受怕的父亲

  汤姆听说妻子莎莉体内的胚胎不再有危险，他拥抱了她。为了有个孩子，他们努力了好几年。尽管来自经验的证据表明他们不可能有孩子，他们还是开始了一段历程，要不惜一切代价在她的子宫内植入胚胎。

  成功之后，他们激动得难以形容。汤姆送给莎莉一枚戒指，上面“母亲”这几个字是凸出来的。他把一间空房装饰了一番准备给婴儿用，并且还邀请了所有地位显赫的朋友来参加庆祝晚宴。快乐的父亲在他身上得到了最好的体现。

  听到胎儿会有危险的消息，汤姆想尽一切办法确保莎莉实施医生的每一项保胎建议。他听说机动车的排放物可能对子宫有害，于是他就在莎莉的房间里安装了保护材料。一想到与他人见面可能会致病，莎莉的房间马上就成了一个帝国，所有探视者都要敬而远之。他还做了其他一些事，真的使莎莉未离开房间半步。

  胎儿正常的消息表明莎莉终于熬出了头，不用再受汤姆过于感情化的保护了。她感觉自己得到了许可，汤姆也同意她可以有更多的自由，他将不再把她包围得死死的。孩子没事，他就高兴。

  两个月后莎莉生了个女儿，她拥抱汤姆，感谢他所有的疯狂举动。现在他们终于有孩子了。
