"I'm a big girl now. I should totally take care of the baby!" Ivy declared, pressing her cheek against Paige's tummy.
This time, she distinctly felt a gentle kick from the baby inside.
"The baby moved!" Ivy was overjoyed.
"She's been moving a lot lately, but you're never around!" Paige boasted.
Ivy leaned against Paige's belly again, feeling another kick.
"Is the baby saying hi to me?" Ivy's eyes twinkled. This was her first encounter with an unborn baby.
She never thought it would be such a magical feeling.
"Of course!" Paige replied, looking at Cory, "Do you want to listen too?"
Cory hesitated but slowly descended the stairs.
Paige took his hand. Cory glanced at Paige, then carefully pressed his ear to her belly.
Soon, he distinctly felt something roll around in Paige's stomach.
Cory's eyes lit up in surprise. After Paige's pregnancy, he had watched animations about how an embryo develops into a baby.
But experiencing the baby's presence so directly was just too incredible.
"How does it feel?" Paige asked, her eyes shining.
"It feels... it feels amazing."
Yes, Cory's strongest feeling was amazement.
The joy of connecting with a new family member for the first time.
Hearing this, Paige's pregnancy hormones kicked in. She teared up, "Then can you promise me one thing?"
"Sure!" Cory nodded.
"Paige hasn't even said what it is yet! You're going to get tricked so easily!" Ivy warned him.
Paige couldn't help but chuckle.
Ivy knew her too well!
