Before she died giving birth, a woman had one final request. She was buried together with her twin babies—neither of whom survived. But on the day of her funeral, something strange happened. Her husband noticed something chilling inside the coffin and screamed, “Stop the funeral!”

What he saw inside the coffin was blood-curdling.

Lauren sat at the table for dinner. Her face showed exhaustion and the tension in her shoulders was visible. The food was served, prepared by her husband Danny. He hoped the night would be peaceful. But before she could eat, she suddenly grabbed her stomach, quickly put down her spoon and fork, and stood up.

“Lauren?” Danny asked in shock.

She didn’t respond and ran straight to the bathroom. Danny immediately heard her vomiting. The sound echoed throughout the house, making his chest pound. He stood up quickly and followed Lauren. When she came out of the bathroom, she was pale, tears in her eyes, and her face looked drained. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and forced a smile.

“I’m okay, Danny. Maybe I just felt dizzy,” she said, trying to stay strong.

But Danny wasn’t convinced. His arms were crossed, eyes fixed on his wife, clearly worried.

“No, Lauren. This isn’t okay,” he said seriously. “You’ve been feeling dizzy and vomiting for days now. Something’s not right.”

Lauren looked away, lowered her head, and tried to laugh. “Maybe I’m just getting old, Danny. Maybe this is menopause. I don’t know… I’m probably just old now,” she said nervously.

Danny shook his head firmly and interrupted. “You know that’s not the reason. You’re a woman. You know your body. This isn’t menopause. This isn’t normal. We need to have you checked.”

Lauren sighed deeply, as if fighting something inside her. She knew Danny was right, but she didn’t want to accept it.

Danny stepped closer, gently held her hand, and bravely said, “We’re going to the hospital. Right now.”

Lauren tried to refuse. “Danny, please. I don’t want to go.”

But Danny wouldn’t give in. His gaze was firm and filled with love. What mattered most to him was Lauren’s well-being.

“You’re going, Lauren. I won’t let this get worse.”

With no other choice, Lauren nodded. They quietly left the house and went to a hospital in the city.

When they arrived, they were welcomed by a kind and calm doctor named Dr. Madison. She spoke gently and led them into the examination room. After a short greeting, the questions began.

“So, Lauren, what exactly are you feeling?” the doctor asked, observing Lauren’s tired appearance.

“Doctor, it’s just a little dizziness and nausea. Nothing serious. Maybe it’s just old age. My husband insisted I come,” Lauren said, trying to downplay her symptoms.

Dr. Madison furrowed her brow as she carefully listened. After Lauren’s explanation, the doctor went quiet for a moment, as if forming a theory.

Then she asked a question that seemed to explode in the room: “Have you taken a pregnancy test, Lauren?”

Everything fell silent. Danny’s eyes widened. Lauren froze in her seat, unable to believe what she heard.

“No… I haven’t,” she replied faintly. “But I’m sure I’m not pregnant. That’s impossible. I’m 45.”

Dr. Madison looked at her seriously. “These days, thanks to medical advances and better women’s health, pregnancy at this age is more common than we used to think.”

A single tear rolled down Lauren’s cheek. She shook her head, clearly in disbelief.

“No. That can’t be true. I can’t be pregnant. We’ve tried everything,” she said, voice cracking with emotion.

Danny came closer and hugged her tightly. He didn’t say anything, but the pain was visible on his face.

Dr. Madison understood there was something deeper behind their reaction.

“You don’t have children? You’ve never been pregnant?” she asked gently.

Danny nodded. Lauren spoke in a soft voice.

“Ever since we got married, we’ve wanted a child, Doctor. We tried everything—medicine, treatments. Even expensive procedures. But I never got pregnant. It broke our hearts. Eventually, we gave up. We accepted that it would just be the two of us.”

Dr. Madison stayed quiet while Lauren silently wiped her tears.

“I understand, Lauren. But since you’re feeling these symptoms, we still have to go through the process. Even if you’re sure you’re not pregnant, we need to confirm.”

Lauren sighed.

“Fine, Doctor. Go ahead. But I know it’s not that. I’m sure. Just do it so we can get it over with.”

The couple was escorted to the waiting area. They sat quietly. The TV was on, but no one was watching. Each minute felt like an hour.

Lauren stared into space and finally spoke softly, “This is why I hate going to the hospital. They always give me a pregnancy test. That’s always their answer. And every time, it brings back all the pain.”

Daniel hugged her again but didn’t speak. He didn’t want to cause more pain. He knew how deeply this hurt.

Before they were called back, the door opened and a young nurse in a white coat approached.

“Lauren?” called Amber, a newly graduated nurse with a bright smile.

Lauren nodded and quietly walked inside. Daniel stayed in the waiting room, obviously nervous. The cold hospital air and the scent of antiseptic weighed on him. Time moved slowly. He fiddled with his fingers as he waited.

When Lauren returned, she sat beside Daniel, still dazed. Minutes later, they were called back in.

Dr. Madison entered holding a clipboard, smiling slightly.

“Please, come in,” she said.

As soon as they sat down, Daniel couldn’t hold it in.

“Doctor, do you already know what’s wrong with my wife?” he asked calmly, but clearly nervous.

Dr. Madison looked at them, then down at the paper. She slowly handed it to Lauren.

“What’s wrong with your wife, Danny?” she said. “Lauren is pregnant. Just as I suspected.”

Time seemed to freeze. Lauren’s eyes widened, and her body stiffened.

“Pregnant…” she whispered, barely audible. She took the test result, hands trembling, unable to believe it.

Daniel leaned over to see it too.

“Are you sure? Could there be a mistake?”

Dr. Madison nodded confidently. “It’s a quick test, but extremely accurate. Over 99%.”

Daniel slowly smiled, still in disbelief. Lauren, meanwhile, looked stunned. Tears welled in her eyes. Her face turned pale. She shook her head slowly.

“This isn’t real. I’m not pregnant. It’s wrong,” she said, her voice shaking.

Dr. Madison stepped closer and gently held Lauren’s hand.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but the test is real.”

Lauren immediately pulled her hand away, as if burned. She looked at the paper again and handed it back.

“Maybe the sample was wrong. This is a mistake. I can’t be pregnant,” she said, shaking her head harder.

Dr. Madison sighed. She had seen this kind of reaction before—some people just couldn’t accept the truth even with proof right in front of them.

“Alright,” she said calmly. “If you want, we can repeat the test. We can do more thorough exams. But I want you to know, every step of this process is done carefully and accurately.”

But Lauren wasn’t listening. She broke down in tears—loud, unrestrained sobs.

“No more tests. I don’t want any more. I know I’m not pregnant. I can’t relive all that pain. Not now. Not at 46.”

Danny hugged her tightly. He whispered, “It’s okay, love. Let’s just listen to the doctor. Let’s take the test again. Let’s not rush to any decisions.”

Lauren cried quietly, her body trembling. It felt like all the painful memories of failure were crashing down on her again.

After a few more minutes, even though she still didn’t want to, Lauren finally nodded.

“Okay, one last test. But this will be the last.”

Dr. Madison smiled and prepared three more tests.

While they waited for the results, Lauren’s leg trembled and she stared at the floor.

“I’m not pregnant. I’m not pregnant,” she whispered like a prayer.

Daniel tried to stay strong even as his heart pounded. He knew that if this was real, everything was about to change.

Soon, the door opened again. Dr. Madison entered holding the test results.

“Please come in,” she said with a slight sparkle in her eye.

The couple sat down quietly. Dr. Madison placed the papers on the table, turned them around, and said with conviction:

“All three tests are positive. Lauren, you’re really pregnant.”
