章 62: Celebration

Rory

TWO MONTHS LATER

         My life has changed… for the better.

If anyone had told me on the night I got drenched with rain in the back of a large truck, that I'd end up achieving something like this after six months, I'd have called them a liar to their face without hesitation.

I let my hand wander to my belly and I gave it a small pat. I was already starting to show. One moment my stomach was still flat, and the next, it wasn't. 

My pregnancy was a little over six months old so far, and I was beyond ready to welcome my baby into the world at this point. 

As laughter and chatter poured out around me, I found myself reveling in all the background chatters while I struggled to not burst into tears from how emotional I was feeling right now.

Two months ago, I quit my job. And two months ago, I accepted half of the initial money offered to me by Grandma Nini.
