“Not yet,” he said. “What should I do here?”

Atlas stopped talking.
He looked at my stomach again.
“I feel it! I feel the baby! The baby moved!”
I laughed so hard I covered my mouth.
My entire body jumped as I laughed.
“What’s so funny up there?” Atlas asked.
“You. Look at you. You’re like… you’re happy.”
“Of course I’m happy. My baby is kicking at me.”
Atlas slowly looked up at me again.
Then he slowly stood up.
Both of his hands still touching my stomach.
My hands fell to my sides.

“Our baby,” he whispered.
“Yes,” I said. “Our baby. He or she knows your voice, Atlas. It’s all connected.”
“Thank you for giving me this moment, love,” he said.
Okay… that’s as much as I can take.
“Atlas, I’m only going to say this once. So hear me very clearly.”
“What?”
I took a deep breath.“I am so turned on right now, this is your chance to hurry up and take me home with you…”
