As you are all such wonderful people leaving fabulous reviews I'm adding this short chapter now... Enjoy...
Two days before their wedding Ruth woke up in the middle of the night with a jolt. She had no idea why she had woken so suddenly. Glancing at the clock she saw it was two thirty in the morning. About to look at Harry she paused. "Oh God," she whispered to herself. She had had a dawning realisation. She had been so happy over the last few weeks that she hadn't paid any attention to it. Her period was late.
"Oh my God," she whispered again. She placed a hand over her stomach and in that moment, inexplicably she knew it was true. She was pregnant. Her fingertips felt her stomach carefully. She couldn't have explained how she knew it was true, but she did. In the morning she'd take a test but she was fairly certain what it would tell her. In the quiet of the night she thought about it. She had never expected to have children, she had given up on that dream a long time ago. Now at forty one and pregnant… she couldn't believe it. But, it was definitely a good surprise. At least for her. She did have one worry though. What would Harry think? And how was she going to tell him? At that moment she felt Harry's hand tighten its grip on her waist in sleep. She smiled. She still had no idea how she was going to tell him but she knew that he loved her. And that was the important thing.
Okay so short but important. Reviews are lovely! xxx
