In 2008, Marc and her wife opted for IVF which led to a short pregnancy that lasted for 9 weeks. She did two more IVFs but still, conception was unsuccessful.

A word from her Godmother reconciled everything in the family. She prophetically declared that Gessie would have a child the following year.
