pregnancy.

After thanking the doctor and taking the prenatal medication, Maureen followed Geoffrey back.

“Thanks for today.”

If Geoffrey hadn’t been there when she fell, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable.

His hand enveloped hers tightly, warm and secure. She glanced at Geoffrey several times before finally pulling her hand away.

Once bitten, twice shy.

The car fell into an unnerving silence.

They finally arrived home.

Maureen helped Geoffrey out of the car. At the doorway, she suddenly heard muffled sobs.

Maureen hurried inside and flipped on the light.

Under the dim light, Jacob was covered in tear tracks.

When he saw Maureen, he quickly wiped his tears: “Mom, Mommy.”

Maureen froze.

“Jacob, why are you crying?”

She’d never seen this little one cry before.
