Enough Loss

One year later...

Looking back on that day in the doctor’s office, several months later, Eve wondered if she had spoken too soon. Was she really fine?

Here she was now, sitting at home thinking how she would have loved to have Kendo with her. To have him make love to her the way he had their last time together, over ten months ago. She still remembered the tender attentions and she was wistful. How they could have procreated together, to later celebrate having a baby together. Raising and loving it as a couple.

Now she knew she would never have that. While she no longer cried about it, it still hurt.

Sighing, she spoke aloud. “Now I have to raise and love our baby alone, Kendo. I promise I will always protect him.”
