Relief fills me at the sight of those words. I fight the urge to kiss the computer, to jump up and scream my victory to the whole neighborhood.
My hands reach for my cellphone, and I scroll through the numbers before realizing what I'm doing.
I can't call him. He never wanted the child, and now that I'm reclaiming the baby, he won't want me.
I should delete the number, but it feels too permanent.
Instead, the phone drops from my hand onto the floor. I watch it, half-hoping it will shatter on contact.
It doesn't. Instead, I stare at the screen still displaying the number until the phone falls asleep.
I bite my lip and press a hand to my flat stomach. My baby will grow within me again, and this time, they are staying for good.

Retrieval of Request 2539 (C. Heyers) Medical Records
Note: It is confirmed that the request is valid. 2539 did indeed have an abortion three months ago. From all looks, it would be wise to grant her request.
Note: Further looks at the records reveals that she was likely carrying two embryos. I agree with earlier assessments but add that we should probably keep a close eye on her. 2539 may be more important than we first believe.
