10 - Gift

She couldn't understand how people considered that a gift. Nine months of carrying someone else around with you while looking like a beached whale in the process… no thank you. So as she saw her best friend struggle to her feet she couldn't stop her question.

"Did you ever want kids?" she asked.

"Well, I did and do want them, but I didn't expect them quite this way," her face was calm as she stroked her extended belly.

She pondered silently for a moment. Maybe the suffering was what made them a gift. Still, in the end, not for her.
