Mara hadn't been sleeping well but that was no surprise. Too much had been happening but things were starting to settle, they were in their new home and while there wasn't much they would let her do, she had been doing what she could to aid in the rebuilding process. She had finally found a comfortable position to sleep in when she felt a strange sensation somewhere in her mind. Her eyes flew open and she rested her hand on her stomach. It was faint but she could feel a slight flutter and she thought about waking up Cassian but she wanted to be positive because she could very well be imagining it. Carefully she slid out of bed and made her way to the kitchen, taking some milk out of the refrigerator and poured herself a glass and sat down at the table. She rested her hand once more on her stomach and took a sip of milk. Nothing. Oh well. Then she put down the glass and that time she felt it, not in her stomach but in her mind. it made sense that she'd feel him there first, just as she'd suspected that she was pregnant before she told Cassian. "Hey kid," she whispered. "is that you?" Another little flutter and she smiled. "So what's up? How's it going in there? Getting croweded? Well hang in there, it's about to be October and then about three more months and you can come out." That time she felt an even stronger nudge and she laughed. "No, it won't hurt you, it won't feel so great for me but you'll be just fine." She went back to her milk and then she felt another tingle. "I suppose I should tell you your name, shouldn't I? Jeron, it's your father's middle name, we thought it would be a good name for you. This is going to be confusing but you're going to meet your younger sisters too although here they're older than you. Don't ask me how that works, I have no idea but we're all excited to meet you." Mara patted her stomach, trying to imagine what he would look like. She hadn't asked the girls because she wanted to be surprise but they wouldn't have remembered what he looked like as a baby anyway, they would only have seen pictures. When she finished her milk, she got up to rinse out her glass and wash it, putting it away. Before she turned around, she waited for another minute, hoping that the baby would nudge her again but he didn't. "Okay then, be stubborn," she said as she started back to the bedroom. "but tomorrow you'd better kick the crap out of your dad because he wants to feel you move. And so do I." There was one more nudge and she smiled. He was going to be a handful, she had a feeling but she couldn't wait. |
