"Hi lilly! I miss you so much. When are you coming home?"
"I miss you too Lizie. This law school is making me crazy! How is my little nephew?"
"He is doing good! My belly is showing a little now. I am so excited!!!!"
"Wow!!!! Can"t wait to see you sweetheart. How is mum?"
"She is good! Just returned from the store. She doesn"t let me help her."
"You shouldn"t work now. Just concentrate on my nephew and take a maternity leave from work now."
"Ok Lilly! I will. We three miss you so much."
Elizabeth had sold off her own house and had s.h.i.+fted to Lillian"s home. She had been modelling for a shoe company, where she did not have to show her face in the magazines, keeping her safe from Davis. It had been 4 months, since that incident. It was now all a bad dream for her, burried deep down in her memory. Her fear of remaining in hiding was soon dissipating. Also, she was happy that she forgot to take the pill that day, amidst the confusion.
Lillian"s mother owned a small grocery store, earning enough to support the two girls. Elizabeth too had started earning well, supporting the family financially. Soon she had planned to begin auditioning for hollywood movies, after her delivery.
Lillian"s mother had always treated Elizabeth as her daughter. Her excitement had reached another level, from the day she realised, she was going to be a grandmother. Lillian who had to move to States for her legal studies, was even more excited than her mother. After Elizabeth"s delivery, Elizabeth and Lillian"s mother too had planned to s.h.i.+ft to U.S.
Things were way happier and with each pa.s.sing day Elizabeth"s love for the baby increased.
3 months later.....
"Lilly...Lilly...!!!! Rhehan kicked me. Wake up!!" Elizabeth shook Lillian vigorously, who was sleeping next to her.
Lillian, who was visiting the two, during her college break, woke up instantly. She put her hand on Elizabeth"s belly in excitement.
"Ohhh!!! Yes!! yes!! He did!! Ahhhhh! Mom! Mom! Come quickly! Rhehan has started to kick!"
Lillian"s mother rushed inside the room excitedly and the three of them kept their hands on Elizabeth"s belly, feeling their little bundle of joy, dancing happily in his mother"s womb.
Elizabeth had already named him Rhehan. On the day the doctor had revealed the gender of the baby, Elizabeth played around with her parent"s names. Her father "Rhenold" and mother "Hanna", thus the baby"s name was decided as "Rhehan."
42 days later.......
"Lilly, I am taking Elizabeth to the hospital. I think it"s time. You board the earliest flight possible."
"But mother...there are still few days left!!!" Lillian panicked hearing the news, over the phone. Her flight was booked for the next week, but who knew Elizabeth"s water bag would break, much earlier.
"It happens my dear. I am hanging up."
Soon an ambulance reached and Elizabeth was taken to the hospital.
"Ahhhhhh! Aunty it hurts!" Elizabeth was crying in pain, while on the way to hospital.
"It"s ok my dear. Just take deap breaths and think about Rhehan. In no time, he will be in your arms. Just imagine, how beautiful he will be. He will have your segreen eyes, brown hair and his heart will be as beautiful as yours."
Elizabeth closed her eyes and smiled at the thought of a green-eyed baby. She was going to be a mother soon!!!
