A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"It just moved."

Jacob sounded so serious that Emily couldn't tell whether he was joking or not.

Emily looked at him suspiciously and asked," Really? Why didn't I feel it?"

"If you do not believe me, go ahead and see for yourself."

Jacob took Emily's hand and rested it on her belly.

A few minutes later.

"No, you're just making this up."

Emily was about to pull her hand away, but Jacob wouldn't let her.

"Maybe it's shy. Let me listen to it again,"

said Jacob, as he casually rested his ear on her flat abdomen and listened carefully.

Emily giggled, as Jacob's ear tickled her, and she wanted to push his head away, but Jacob put his forefinger on his thin lips with a serious look on his face.

"Shh..."

Emily's voice lowered down inadvertently as she whispered," What did you hear?"

Suddenly, there it was. The sound of "purring" from her abdomen took her breath away.

Exhilarated, Jacob chuckled when he heard it too. Emily was extremely awkward, and her face turned red and she pushed Jacob away immediately. Embarrassed, she said," Stay away from me!"

Jacob brushed her off casually and asked," Are you hungry?"

He looked into her eyes and said," It's normal for a mother with a child to get hungry more often. After all, you're eating for two now."

Emily turned her face around and pretended not to hear him.
