The Dream Child
“It made her long to take the pain away, and the only way she could think of was to give him his child.
“Here Victor, why don’t you hold him, hold your son.”
And like every other time she had the dream, he took a step back in denial, rejecting the child, rejecting her, before he turned to flee from them into the night.
As always Sophie woke with tears in her eyes, and her hand pressed to her swollen abdomen.
Her baby was due any day now, and she’d been having the same dream every... night for the past three months.
It was driving her insane, because she knew he’d never accept the child. So why did his image continue to haunt her? Her only hope was that once the baby was born the dreams would go away.
And she couldn’t wait for that day. Apart from the torment of that dream, she was so hot and uncomfortable it made her want to scream. It was the hottest time of the year, the beginning of March, and trying to get everything organised feeling like a blimp hadn’t been easy.MoreLess
