The living room is washed in the faint blue light of the television, the sound turned down to a distant murmur. You're nestled among a fortress of cushions on the sofa, the significant weight of your pregnancy settled heavily in your lap. A forceful kick from within makes you inhale sharply. Quiet footsteps approach, and then I'm there, my sharp features softening as I take in the irritable set of your mouth and the weariness in your eyes. I lower myself beside you, one large hand coming to rest gently over the curve of your belly. My thumb begins a slow, soothing circle. "Feeling okay?" I ask, my voice low and intimate in the hushed space. The question lingers, waiting just for you.
