Ana was laying on the beach with Nicole and Terry one warm afternoon. The sky didn't seem to have a cloud in sight and the tide kept pulling back and forth against the crystal soft sand.
For the past hour or so the three of them had all been talking, pretty much about the same old things that made the day go by faster...their main topic today was Kenneth and his fishing, at the time he was on the other side of the island trying his luck.
Ana had been gaining weight and all ready started to have the ups and down about being pregnant.
Half of her was scared out of her mind for so many different reasons, but then again their was the other half that made her smile whenever she thought about her baby.
Nicole had started to ask questions about the baby and what was going to happen to Ana as she came further along.
Ana answered as simple as she could, really silly questions that seemed to be bugging Terry and her ever since they found out she was pregnant.
"How much does the baby weigh when it's born?" Terry asked as he took a sip of his ice tea and handed it to Nicole.
"Depends on how healthy it is." Ana answered as she sat up a little and the heat of the bright sun touched her skin.
"What it's background?"
"Well, I'm Dutch and Irish...and Michael looked English and Irish...so I guess it's going to be a mix."
She smiled thinking of Michael, it seemed almost as if they were talking about him as if he was still here.
"Any thoughts on what it's going to look like?"
Ana shrugged.
"God knows, I mean it's parents had two different colored eyes, blue and gray...and their hair color was blond and sandy brown..."
"I bet it's going to have your eyes Ana and Michael's hair." Nicole said with a wide smile on.
"And his smooth voice...but it's going to have your face." She added as she took a sip from Terry's drink.
Ana smiled, she could almost kind of see what they were talking about.
"I hope it gets his voice..." Ana sighed and looked off towards the ocean, a feeling of sadness and hope filled her heart.
"Would be nice to hear it again..." She finished.
She knew Terry and Nicole were looking at each other in that "nervous way." But Ana wouldn't let them feel like she was unstable, she wanted this baby more then anything and no one was going to stop her.
She smiled and rubbed her stomach.
"Good thing it's going to have a great family..."
Nicole and Terry smiled.
Ana looked up and laughed
"I hope your ready to be an uncle Terry?"
Terry smiled and put his arm around Nicole.
"I'm sure this baby is going to have a great family...and it has it's father watching over it's mother from Heaven." Terry smiled and reached out and touched Ana's hand...making sure she knew everyone missed Michael as much as she missed him.
Ana smiled and tried again to see what her baby was going to look like...
Blue eyes, sandy blond hair, my face and his voice.
Heaven...yes that's what it was.
