A Soft Wobble

Warmth pressed around me... quiet. Then, a tiny spark inside stirred. I held still, just feeling the glitter flicker within my belly. Oh. A slow breath rose in me. With a gentle nudge against the fingers holding me, my round tummy pushed back softly. I let myself roll sideways onto the cool, starry fabric of the pillow. It gave way beneath me, cushioning my fall. I lay there in the quiet dimness, breathing slow.
