The Power of Love
“If Elaine had not felt weak in the last few days, she certainly did now. Her body felt wrung out and much heavier than normal. It felt as if her child had grown even more since the doctor had given her the horrible news a few weeks ago and was now pushing even more against her vital organs, making it difficult to sit up, to move around . . . even to breathe.
And he, or she, was kicking something fierce. If it was a boy, she was sure it would grow up to become a world class rugby player, she tho...ught with an ironic grin. Neither she nor Ethan were into sports, despite, or maybe in spite of, Limerick being home to some of Ireland’s greatest rugby players.
The closer her due date came, the more she understood everything Doctor Gibbons had told her about her condition. Every day that passed, her body grew more fragile.

The only thing that seemed alive and vibrant was her baby who tried its hardest to make an entrance into the world.MoreLess
