Cio was laying down on the bed, hand resting on her stomach. The once lively home was now lonely and grey.

Cio: Baby your father was a good man. He was a soldier. A mighty warrior that saved a thousand of people.

[She chuckled as she felt the baby kicked.]

Cio:You're a fierce man. Brave and strong, like your father.

She shed many tears that night, but the baby kept her company. For many nights, she would whispered stories about Benjamin as the baby kicked as if it was listening.

Cio: It won't be long now...If you met him someday, he would pampered you with love. Supporting your future when your weak mother can't.

[ The baby kicked again. She chuckled.]

Cio: I love you too, Sei.
