Is it really you… like really?

"Why are you crying so?" The soothing masculine ethereal voice asked again, making Shelby shiver. She did not want to turn to verify what her mind was trying to tell her. The first one had been a mirage, so what of this time? Did she dare to hope?

Shelby did not want to. She was even worried that her turbulent emotions would affect her pregnancy as it would be in its early stages.

However, she couldn't help it because the voice was too similar and she could definitely imagine a tap on her back, could she?

Her eyes shot wide open. 'Impossible. Impossible.'

Yet, it was him.

Shelby could not deny it, and her heart raced, but something was still different, and she soon mustered the courage to confirm.

"I didn't mean to make you so sad, little one...."

'Little one?'

Shelby shifted and turned, knowing perfectly well that it was not the person that she longed for. ... and she was right.
