Amanda softly moved her hands her taut belly. She could feel her baby boy squirm inside of her. These days she could tell that he didn't have much room left to kick and jab, which honestly was a relief. Amanda smiled, letting the cool autumn air caress her face and play through her hair. It was lovely being in this part of Central park, away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city.
Nearby, Emi was running around with Ghost, Niels keeping a keen eye on her so she wouldn't stray while Amanda enjoyed relaxing in quietude. Things felt so surreal today. Watching Emi running around, she wondered what it would be like looking after two children. For the past three years, it had been just the three of them. Now they were soon to be four. So many scenarios ran through Amanda's head. Would Emi be happy about her new baby brother, or would jealousy set in? Amanda faintly remembered how jealous her little brother Renzo had been when Bella was born. Would the baby be calm and content as Emi was, or would he be a gripey baby, hard to console and quick to cry? She wondered what colour his eyes would be: green like hers, or blue like Niels' and Emi's? Would he have a head full of hair or be a little baldy? Amanda smiled and patted her belly as she felt the baby squirm again. One thing she knew for sure was that her love for him was already strong. She couldn't wait to hold him in her arms. She was grateful that she'd had such a pleasant pregnancy, with just a bit of morning sickness in the beginning. She'd almost miss being pregnant, but something more exciting was coming soon. Any day now.
