Midnight

Chapter 36

Nellie woke at midnight with the full moon shining too much light into her room. She rolled out of bed, still half-asleep, to close the curtains.

Something moved.

She stopped short. Something moved. Inside her.

Nellie placed her hands ever-so-gently on her stomach, even though she knew that the tiny movements couldn't be felt from the outside till some months had passed.

But still. It moved!

At that moment, she no longer cared if it was Sweeney's or Turpin's or the Devil's - it was hers, hers and it was alive and it was real.
