Week 20
Laying on the couch she was attempting to catch a nap when she suddenly jerked up. Her breath caught in her throat as her hands flew to her extended abdomen. Had she really just felt what she thought she had felt?
Slowly she released her breath, letting herself relax, her heart slow. As she did she felt it again and again. She'd never felt anything like it before. It was like a flutter and a tap, a variation of the two.
Her baby.
Her daughter.
She was moving around inside of her and was big enough now to be felt.
Smiling she began to hum and she gently stroked her stomach. Easing her child within.
