Uncertain Unity Can/Sanem

⚘Chapter-Twenty⚘

"It feels...it feels magical. Evey movement...every flutter. It's too good for words." She told her...touching her cheek. "When you you experience it... you'll know."

"Na...Abla that's not for me...I don't ever want to have children." She told her.

"Excuse me..." Layla said hands on her hips. "I want nieces and nephews...thank you very much." She told her straight outright before her tone softened."Love I know it's hard...but look how far you've come. Everything will come with time...I promise."

"What time is your appointment?" Samem asked wanting to change the subject.

"It's at eleven." Layla told her...taking the hint...for now.

They had been sitting in the waiting room for a while.

"Hey Abla...do you think the midwife who supported me when I was here still works here?"

"Yes...Sanem I've seen her a few times myself."

"I wanted to thank her...I wasn't in the right state if mind at the time. She wasn't in on the day of my follow up appointment."

"Ok...well do you want to ask at reception?"

"Do you mind Abla?"

"No of course not love, you go ahead."

Sanem came back a few minutes later. "She was off duty." She told Layla...just as Laylas name was called.

Layla stood up and had taken a few steps...before realising Sanem was still seated. Going back she grabbed her hand pulling her up.

"What!!!...do you think I bought you here to sit?...come."

The midwife put the gel on Layla's tummy and moved the probe around
Untill the baby came into view.

Sanem was holding Layla's hand...tears were flowing from her eyes without control.

"Hey...Sanem stop." Layla said reaching up to wipe her tears with her hand. The midwife handed her a tissue. The scan over...Layla went over to Sanem. The midwife leaving the room to give them privacy.

"There're happy tears Abla. I'm so happy for you. Finally you'll have the family you've always wanted."

"What!!!?.... Sanem it's not the end... you will have your own family. Anyway you're part of my family. My family... I'm incomplete without you."

They went for a walk through the park. Sanem wanted to tell Layla about her plans. She had already left it late. Layla wanted to discuss other things. They hadn't really spoken about the incident. Layla wanted Sanem t move on with her life. Ok it was one thing to move away but problems don't just go away because you leave the country.

"Sanem...as I was saying in the examination room. Its not the end you will have your own family."

"Abla...really I don't want to talk about....It's all in the past. I'm over it...can't you see I'm trying to move on."

"But love...the baby..."

"No..." Sanem said shakinh her head. "I don't want to talk about it. Abla I'm over it...please Abla leave it."
