Another month had passed...
Zháng Měisì and her twin were now both 7 months old. By now, their eyelids were fully developed and they could open their eyes. As if on cue, both of them did so at the same time and they tried to see unblinkingly at each other. Even though the womb did not have lights and it was still dark to see; somehow they could see a little or sense each other. They knew that both had opened their eyes at the same and were looking at each other. Their eyes may not able to see, but their hearts did. It was enough.
Peace and contentment.
Zháng Měisì was happy. With her twin, she felt an unbreakable bond and connection that filled her soul with such peace and happiness that could not be explained. The pain of what she experienced in her past life dulled and she would simply cherish the feelings that were being invoked by being her twin. It healed her scarred heart, and Zháng Měisì found herself smiling more often now.

Now, it's already 7 months, both of the babies began hearing constantly and regularly for the past month. It turns out the Mother had been reading them every day with simple books. Few stories, as if teaching them how to read or speak. Sometimes, their mother would also put headphones near on the her womb which filled the babies ears with classical music.
From inside the womb, it was more like vibrating then some beats than the actual music. Then, the sound moved to another side then, another side of the womb. She figured that their mother was trying it out that would help them to listen which that it didn't do any harm.
Well, back on her mid. She could feel a hint of displeasure that being emitting from her twin. Zháng Měisì guessed that if she could see the dark, she would have seen her twin having a frown upon her/his face.
Zháng Měisì grinned at that. To her twin, the beats were just that. Beats. They had their own unique way but above all, their mother's heartbeat was even more soothing to hear than dun dunn dunnn weeeeee of classical tones.
Then, the music started to repeat again, when the usual wave of displeasure started coming out, Zháng Měisì heard distinctively in her mind, a small, tiny voice saying, "NOT AGAIN!".
Zháng Měisì stopped breathing. Well, ok. They didn't breath but you get the idea. Her eyeballs rolled out from left to right, and she turned quicker than normal as she faced her twin. Although she couldn't see it clearly, she could definitely feel her twin's sac shaking a bit. Laughing out loud at her reaction, no doubt.
"Wait, what? That's you? Now, I can hear you IN MY MIND?"
