TALE 15 - Three...

He held her hand as they heard the racing heart beats of the baby in her womb
The sight on screen was unclear because both of them already had tears 
Teeny weeny sac with some movements
This is it... Said she
Its life... Right here inside me...
And he smiled, "I know"...
The radiologist had no expression on his face...
"Is everything alright?", he asked...
"We need to talk", the doctor said...
Back at home that evening he made her sit... 
N explained everything...
There is a deformity, it is a syndrome and we have a choice.
They did make a choice...
They happily accepted to keep the baby...
They talked with the baby in d womb
Communication was their strength
Reassurance was their key
They loved it with all their heart
They told it stories
They sang to it
They played soothing music to it
They had a lavish baby shower...
They eagerly awaited its birth...
The d day arrived...
It was a pre planned c section...
The baby boy arrived...
Yes it did have the syndrome
Yes it was deformed...
But it had something very few souls have...
Unconditional acceptance...
No pressure of performance...
Pure love...
No the baby did not turn out to be extra ordinary....
No he did not do something outstanding...
But as a team of 3...
And they decided to ward off their karma together...
Strong... Unshaken...
Proud of having each other as a part of their blueprint for this lifetime...
Some stories aren't tales...
They are just journeys...
Ongoing...
Precious...
Inspiring...
