The train's rocking settled her queasy stomach. Joanne settled into the seat. Maureen was probably still out. Wine always did that to her.

Leo. Joanne thought, embracing her stomach. Lenore. Somehow, the old name just seemed right if they were having a girl. Lenore for a girl and Lucian for a boy. Lucian Michael. Lucian Michael and Lenore April…what if we have twins?

A woman settled into the seat beside her. Joanne couldn't help but notice the woman's hugely swollen belly.

That'll be me soon enough. She thought, wondering if the three pounds she had gained showed.

"When are you due?" she asked. The woman laughed.

"Last week." She said. "My first was three weeks late." She giggled.

"How many children do you have?" Joanne murmured, facing forward.

"Two in Heaven, Alison and Kate and the little man inside me, Bennett." She sighed. "I'm sorry. You probably don't want to hear it."

Joanne was stunned. What were the chances of running into someone who had lost a child on this particular day?

"My partner told me just yesterday that she lost a baby years ago." Joanne said. The woman nodded. "I'm trying to track down her daughter's history."
