“Do you think it’s a boy or a girl?” Mia’s friend Carla asked, taking a sip of
coffee from a paper cup.
Mia’s fingers were warm where they touched the smooth black-andwhite ultrasound picture. On it was a little human. The round form of the
head, the perfect curve of the vertebrae, the five little fingers waving at her
filled her heart with so much love, it was about to explode.
The smells assaulting her in the Massachusetts General Hospital
cafeteria made Mia slightly nauseated. Coffee, for which she could kill;
donuts; and a hint of bleach. Doctors and nurses in uniforms sat together
having lunch, visitors hunkered down at separate tables—some chatting
with friends and family, others staring tiredly into the distance. A couple of
yuccas stood in the corners by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The cafeteria
buzzed quietly with voices.
“I don’t know.” Mia touched the little hand on the ultrasound with her
thumb and smiled. It was a boy. Somehow, she just knew. She didn’t want
to share the knowledge with anyone, as though it was an intimate secret
between her and the baby.
Carla and Mia sat near the window. At the table behind Carla was an old
lady in a salad-green suit. Her hair as white as snow, a cup of tea on the
table, she was knitting, the needles in her hands jumping up and down like
the lines of a vitals monitor. The lady stole a curious glance at Mia and the
ultrasound picture in her hand. Mia’s breath caught in her throat. How
strange. Mia flashed a polite smile at the lady.
“A mafia boss’s baby… Still can’t believe it.” Carla shook her head,
then leaned closer and dropped her voice to a whisper. “I thought you
wanted to break up with him.”
Cold sweat ran down Mia’s spine at the mention of her ex-boyfriend. “I
left him.”
“You did? When? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Three days ago. Three of the happiest days of my life.”
Carla’s eyes lay on the ultrasound. “But he doesn’t know about the
baby, does he?”
“No. Of course not.”
“What would happen if he found out?”
Mia’s stomach dropped. “He’d never let me go. You didn’t tell your
brother you saw me here, did you?” Mia glanced around. “I must be
paranoid, but I still keep looking over my shoulder. I can’t really believe
Dan agreed it was over.”
Carla laughed nervously. “I can’t believe I introduced you two in the
first place! To think, if it wasn’t for him, you’d be a pediatrician now. We’d
work here together.”
Mia shuddered, and the sleeve of her long summer dress shifted enough
to reveal the yellowing bruise on her forearm. She blushed and moved to
cover it, but Carla noticed. Her eyes darted away, as if she had just seen
something too private. Mia’s cheeks burned.
