Empty Belly
She is almost thirty, isn’t it time to start a family?
She gazes out the window, hand resting on her empty belly. She is almost thirty, isn’t it time to start a family? What is it that she is waiting for, if not a baby or two. One a girl and the other a boy, she better start listing down name potentials. Should we go with “Julia” or “Sophia” instead? My, we have to decide now, and order those onesies with the initials.
What about the nursery? She should go with something neutral, like green or yellow. Is her belly hanging low? Oh dear, look at that glow! Her mother holds her hands in a prayer, may the baby always be healthy and has good manners. Speaking of, she better get rid of the cat.
Yet she gazes out the window, hand resting on her empty belly. She is almost thirty, and she already has a family. Her partner and the cat that she has had since she was a baby kitty. Her mother holds her hands in a prayer, look at the clock, you’re running out of time!
But she said,
“Everything I need is already mine.”
