Monika: (softly singing lullabies to Minika) Shh, don't worry, my precious girl, Mommy's here. (picks up her ringing phone) Oh, it's Yuri calling. I wonder what's wrong. Yuri: (voice trembling) Monika... Are you there? Monika: Yes, Yuri, I'm here. What's the matter? You sound really worried. Yuri: (hesitates before speaking) It's... it's about Violet. I've been having these terrible nightmares, and I can't shake off this feeling of unease. I'm scared for her, even before she's born. Monika: (concerned) Oh, Yuri, I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's natural to have worries, especially as a mother. Have you tried talking to a professional about it? Yuri: (sighs softly) I haven't yet. I thought maybe reaching out to you first would help alleviate some of my anxiety. Monika: Of course, Yuri. I'm here for you. Being a new mom myself, I can relate to these fears. But let's remember that our babies are strong little miracles. They'll find their way into this world just fine. Yuri: (sniffles) Thank you, Monika. Your words mean a lot. I need to focus on staying positive and creating a safe environment for Violet. Monika: Absolutely, Yuri. We'll figure this out together. And remember, you have the support of all the literature club members. We're family, and we're here for each other. Yuri: (voice growing softer) Thank you, Monika. You're right. We're in this together. I'll try to take comfort in that. Give little Minika a hug from Auntie Yuri for me, okay? Monika: (smiling) Of course, Yuri. I'll send you pictures too. And anytime you need to talk or even vent, I'm just a call away. Yuri: (gratefully) I appreciate that, Monika. Thank you for being such an understanding friend. Monika: Friendship means supporting each other through the ups and downs, Yuri. We'll always be there for each other. Take care, and remember to take care of yourself too, okay? Yuri: (softly) I will, Monika. Thank you again. Goodbye for now. Monika: Goodbye, Yuri. Please know that you're never alone in this journey.
