Excitement surges within, I can barely contain my emotions. Who will I tell first. My Mum wouldn’t understand, but my friends will. They’ll rally around me, protect me, support me. We’ll find a way together.
To feel the touch of a tiny hand, the sweet smell of milky breath. It will finally be all mine, and I won’t have to share it. He’s long gone, and I want to shout it from the rooftops.
The alarm rings. I lift the stick. One line.
A lead weight falls heavy within me. Disappointment. Sadness. Relief.
