"five months" I took a deep breath "We wait five months"
"You look happy" mom ran her fingers softly through my hair as I sat at her feet by the sofa.
"I'm excited" I told her.
She smiled "I know. I'm happy that you took her situation into consideration. You are one of the bravest wolf I have ever known and I'm proud of you"
"I think you spoke too soon mom" I leaned into her touch "you don't know of my intentions"
She shook her head "I'm just happy that the baby's here, safe and sound. I thought it will happen again you know. I thought it's a curse. Thank you for lifting a decades old burden off my shoulder"
"How do you do it?" I barely whispered "How do you live with his past every day?"
