was born.
That evening, Michael was sitting in the living room.
The lights were dim.
The girls were sleeping.
There was silence in the house, but in the midst of this silence I could even hear my own heartbeat.
I approached him.
“Michael… I need to tell you something.
He raised his eyes.
“I’m listening.
I could barely hold back my tears.
“I think… Maybe we shouldn’t leave this child.
At first, he decided that he had not heard.
Slowly raised his head.
“What did you say?”
“If the fact
that we have a girl again makes you so unhappy… maybe it will be better… Maybe I shouldn’t continue with this pregnancy…
My voice broke.
I myself could not believe that I was saying these words.
But I was so afraid of losing my husband that I was ready to give up someone I hadn’t even held in my arms yet.
Michael suddenly jumped out of his chair.
His eyes filled with tears.
