Chapter 1
Sahara awakes early, knowing that today is the day she and her mom go shopping for all the things needed for the upcoming birth of the baby. She has been looking forward to this day for weeks, not only because of the excitement of choosing the needed items but also for this special time she will be able to share with her mom.
Sahara and her mother haven’t always been close, but her pregnancy has dissolved many of the barriers between them. As Rory, Sahara’s husband, has been away so long, sharing with her mom the many ups and downs associated with the months of waiting for the birth of the child is a common thread that weaves a tighter bond between them.
Still lying in bed, Sahara stretches her arms above her head, and feels the firm kick of her unborn child to the inside of her rib cage.
“I guess you’re awake too… calm down little one. I’m getting up,” Sahara says with a smile as she pats her tummy.
With an audible sigh, she exclaims, “Gosh, I wish your dad wasn’t so firm on waiting to find out your gender, my little karate kid.” As her bare feet hit the cool, tiled floor, she mumbles, “It would be so much more fun to be able to pick the blue or the pink needed items, instead of the ‘gender-unknown’ yellow or green items… alas, your space-age dad is a little old fashioned about this so I hope, if you are a boy, you like yellow, because your mom hates green!”
She smiles to herself as she has thought many times during her visits to her OB doctor, how she could ask him to give her a “sneak” peek as to the sex of the baby and just not tell Rory. But knowing that she could never keep it a secret, as hard as it is, she has refused on more than one occasion the doctor’s suggestion of knowing whether it is a boy or a girl.
My profession is online marketing and development (10+ years experience), check my latest mobile app called Upcoming or my Chrome extensions for ChatGPT. But my real passion is reading books both fiction and non-fiction. I have several favorite authors like James Redfield or Daniel Keyes. If I read a book I always want to find the best part of it, every book has its unique value.
