CHAPTER 10
The melody of an heartbeat, powerful and fast, filled the room and their hears. It took their breath away and accelerated their hearts in return. Time seemed to stop for them in that clinic.
They had not dreamt it, they had not lived in a bubble. It was not a fairytale. It was real and they were enchanted by the vision. Their baby was there, sucking a finger. They cried and laughed at the same time.
- "First kid?" – They nodded simultaneously unable to speak – "you wanna know the sex?" – asked the doctor. They nodded again and a soft yes escaped from their mouths this time. – "ok... let's see" – he checked the screen and moved carefully the ultrasound – "A boy!" – he proclaimed – " you gonna have a boy" –
- "Are you sure?" - He demanded shyly.
- "You see that?" – the doctor indicated a point on the screen – "it's not a third leg." -
- "Wow. It's definitely my son!" – He acclaimed.
They laughed and then they kissed passionately. They pulled apart but they rested with forehead against forehead.
- "I love you" – he whispered.
- "I love you too" – she replied.
2 days after he left. 3 days after he was home again but not alone. The car stopped, he opened the door and the dog run on the beach barking. She went out from the house. They met, they embraced, they kissed, they played. He look at them in despair amused. They needed to stay alone.
That evening at sunset they went all out for a walk. He threw a bough in the water and Hank run to it. She had her head on his shoulder, he had his hand on her back. She was strangely silent and thoughtful.
- "A penny for your thought?" - He teased her.
- "Oh sorry... mm... I was.... I think I found the right name for him." – She tenderly caressed her belly
- "Which is? " –
She looked at him – "Warrick" -
He kept walking. The dog had returned. He couldn't say nothing: she must know him very well because her choice was perfect, he was flattered. Warrick was his pupil and his death had hit him deeply.
- "So? .. what do you think?" –
- "It's perfect!" – he told her firmly locking his eyes in hers.
