She had always remembered his number, the number he'd promised he would keep, the number at which she could always reach him.

866-907-3235

She had never forgotten it.

And even if she had - even if, over these past few months, the numbers had become jumbled up - it wouldn't have mattered.

Because she had always refused to delete it from her phone.

So even if she had forgotten - she would have still known.

Now it was staring her in the face, her fingers having punched in the ten numbers without thought as she lay in the bed. But her thumb hovered over that "call" button; it held back, it leant forward, it came back again.

She hesitated.

She didn't know if she should call him today.

She didn't know if she should even tell him at all ...

And the same old arguments ran around her head again ...

Just as they'd been doing for the past nine, long months.

She glanced out at the bustling nurses, the doctors, over at the small, sleeping child ...

And she decided.

Her thumb pressed "call" ...

And she waited, the sound of the phone ringing in her ear.
