"It… the baby likes the sound of your voice."
Edward had never said the word baby in that tone before, and I felt a fluttering of hope.
Then I realized what he'd said. My outburst caused a chain reaction, a vicious kick followed by soothing words, and this time Edward's hand was the one caressing my belly.
"He's happy." The astonishment I felt was finally in Edward's eyes.
Tears spilled onto my cheeks as I cradled our baby, filled with certainty that I would do anything for our child… even die.
And now I knew Edward would look after him.
