"Ai, mama, bien?" The man's voice was soft, concerned. But he smiled back when his wife took his hand.

"Si, si, 'stoy bueno. Muy bueno," she murmered, kissing their interlinked fingers before looking back at the monitor. Even above the whispers, the helicopter-like chop of a tiny heartbeat pulsed steady, and the young woman couldn't help but shed a tear or two. "My baby, mi nino." She leaned into the caress as his free hand wiped away a tear. "Nuestro nino. Ese es nuestro nino, Lobo." She placed their entertwined hands on the gentle bulge of her belly, just above the sonogram gel. "That's our child."

"Paloma-Things will change, won't they?"

She shook her head, her smile-a mother's pure joy-as bright as her eyes. "Si, mi amor, but for the best." It was she who reached out and gentled, sheding a tear because he shed tears of joy and disbelief. "They will change for the best, because the greatest miracle the earth has seen is growing inside me-inside our life, and inside our love."
Para mi mejor amiga, my best friend, and her husband.
