with you, girlie?”
“I say you enjoy the sunny weather here on the bench while we do all the paper work, that fine w “Sure, thanks.”
And with that I limped to the nearest bench and closed my eyes in satisfaction. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, students rushing to their classes, but for me… a huge page in my life was tuming and I decided to just reel in this feeling for a while.
I don’t know how long I sat there enjoying the gentle rays of July’s sun, deep in my own world, but soon something changed. My baby kicked. With a small smile I placed my hand on the exact spot where she kicked and gave out a small laugh. She was communicating for the first time. A warm feeling settled in my heart. This was my child, my baby girl, a life I was creating. Screw the circumstances of the conception, screw all the pain and horror I went through that night. Screw everything, my child just kicked me for the first time! And then she kicked again, this time harder, but still not painful, so I smiled again.
“Hey there, baby girl,” I cooed to my stomach. “I love you, mommy loves you…”
I chanted this over and over again while she continued giving me her first kicks right there, on the bench in front of the university I just graduated from. What more could 1 ask from life?
At some point her lacks stopped being gentle and got more intense,
“Baby girl, I hear you, but you’ve got to be gentle with mommy, ok?” I whispered a bit worried now. She was becoming active, and while I was glad to experience that, the locks started to hurt a bit, but she never stopped, no, her kicks became more frantic and hard. I changed my pose and started rubbing my stomach more actively. Looked like my unborn angel was having an aerobics session in there.
“Sweetie, calm down, please..” I don’t know if she could hear me, but I continued talking, trying to soothe her. Then a bigger kick followed, that made my eyes bulge. The same time I got that weird feeling that someone was watching me. I rubbed my stomach again and turned around, trying to ease my paranoia. I looked to my surroundings, observed the people nearby, but sure enough no one met my eyes, no one seemed suspicious
“Baby, it’s fine, calm down.” The aerobics inside of me continued, my heart rate picked up, it was becoming creepy. I looked around once again, but still couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, although the feeling of someones eyes on the never subsided. And then suddenly it stopped. A huge weight lifted from my shoulders, my baby girl calmed down as if nothing happened, only slight tingles where she kicked me from the inside. How weird.
I turned back to facing the entrance of the university and saw doc Evans marching to me with an even bigger grin on his face and with a big package in his hands.
“Emily, sweetheart, I say on our way back home we stop at the clinic and put that on the wall! With that hi pulled an impressive sized photo frame out of the bag, and to my surprise it was my vet license, signed by the dean of this very university. A bright laugh was shared between me and doc Evans and he sat next to me to give me a sideways hup.
“I hope you’re happy, because I sure am!” He said looking me with those wise eyes of his.

“Have you had enough rest? Or you want to sit a bit more?” Doc Evans asked me with slight concern in his voice.
“One more minute and we can go, ok?” I said still excited, but my baby girls activities have drained me a bit, thus the smile on my face a bit smaller than expected.
“Is everything fine? Are you feeling well?” The smile from doc’s face have vanished suddenly.
“Yeah, yeah“, I reassured him, trying to be cheerful. “It’s just… the baby kicked for the first time just moments before you arrived, I said brightly, but
the exhaustion that has started in my bones was getting to me.
