My Forever
“I turn toward the fridge to get oil for shells when Michael notices me. “Wow.” He stares at my stomach. I’m suddenly embarrassed. It was stupid to take off my sweatshirt. My stomach is sticking out just enough to not be mistaken for anything else. “I’m sorry.” He shakes his head. “That was rude. I just can’t believe how well your clothes hide that.” He smiles. “Don’t worry, you look good.” “Right.” I roll my eyes but really, I’m flattered. “No, really. It just took me by surprise that’s all.” He points. “May I?” I nod and his hand touches my stomach, making it hard to find words or coherent thoughts. He drops his hand, and turns back to the counter where he’s cutting lettuce and tomatoes. “It’s kind of incredible, isn’t it?” “I don’t know, yet. Mostly it’s just been terrifying.” “Well, I hope you’re able to soak in some of the miracle of it all, too.” How can one person hold so much goodness? “Wow, it smells great in here!”
