Hey guys! Here's another chapter. As Tohru makes new discoveries, she also learns something new. What is it? Read and find out.
MONTH 5
As I continue to move about and explore, I started noticing something. I'm able to touch the squishy walls more easily than before. I don't have to stretch out so much anymore. Am I getting bigger or is this dark place getting smaller? As long as I keep hearing the voice, I guess I don't have to worry about anything. For whatever reason, I made the voice very happy when I decided to stretch the things below me. I was finally able to feel what was below me. It was the squishy wall. I had to be sure it was still there, so I decided to kick at it. The things below me went into the squishy wall for a few moments.
"Whoa! The baby just kicked!" said the voice
Wait I kicked you? You're the squishy wall?
I'm confused. How can the voice be out there and here at the same time? This doesn't make any sense to me. I heard that muffled voice again. I couldn't understand what it said, but its tone seemed happy. I suddenly felt slight movement near me, like something was touching outside the squishy wall. Was it going to try and poke me? I hate being poked and I've been poked so many times already! I won't stand for that! I used the things below me, and I gave the squishy wall a few good kicks. I hope that warned whatever was outside the squishy wall to not poke me anymore.
"Wow! This little one is active," said the voice
I waited for a while. All I could hear was the voice and the muffled voice. They both sound happy. I'm still confused, and I still can't understand what the voice is saying. That voice is really something. It was happy when I stretched or moved and now it's happy because I kicked the squishy wall? Well as long as the voice and that other one is happy, then I have nothing to worry about. After a while, things seemed calm again. The voice and that other one were really quiet. All I could hear was ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump. That helped me enter my peaceful state and I soon drifted off to sleep. Everything was okay. Sometime later, I was disturbed by a big poke.
Oh come on! Stop poking me!
I hate it when this happens, and I don't understand why something outside the squishy wall keeps trying to poke me! I tried to move away from it, but it seemed to stay near me. I felt around and touched the squishy wall. Yep, that thing was back. I started to push it away and it moved a bit. I wanted to make sure that it stayed away from me so I kicked at it a few times. It went away. At first I thought it was gone, but it came back and pushed near me again. Suddenly it started to shake me!
Hey what are you doing?! CUT IT OUT!
I started to panic. That thing outside the squishy wall was trying to get me. I began to move around and kick like crazy. I hoped that would have kept that thing away, but no. It was still there.
"Whoa! Its okay baby," said the voice
Hey where have you been?
Now the voice starts talking and I'm still getting poked. Come on voice, make it stop! The thing outside the squishy wall was moving around me. I was getting scared and decided to just stay still. Maybe it'll go away if I don't move. I started to hear a muffled voice, but it was different. It wasn't the same muffled voice from before.
"It's a girl! Are you serious?!" said the voice
What are you talking about now?
I heard the muffled voice again, but I wasn't paying attention to it. I just wanted this thing to stop poking me already. At long last, it finally went away. I'm so glad it's gone and I hope it stays gone this time. I'm tired of getting poked. I wish I could see what was going on. Maybe if I saw it, I wouldn't be so scared of it. Things seemed calm once more which helped me enter my peaceful state again. I soon drifted off to sleep.
End of Chapter 5. Poor Tohru went through a great ordeal. Aside from fetal dopplers, it's also known that babies hate ultrasounds too. If they're stubborn during ultrasound, the ob technician will usually use the ultrasound wand (or whatever you call it) and shake it near them so they'll move. Anyways, I'll post the next chapter soon.
