An Excert from the short Story “The Coming of Innocence”

       As the questions continued to pour into her confused mind, a sudden tear fell from her precious face. As she wiped away the tears of confusion, a forced smile slowly swept across her innocent face. “I know there must be a reason for this… maybe god is trying to send me a message… trying to lure me away from the streets that poisoned my mind.” she thought to herself as she attempted to stand. As she stood up quietly, a knock at the door sounded. She carefully walked over towards the door and opened it carefully to see her husband standing with a smile. “Ah Kathy! I’ve missed you so much today!” he said as he rushed over to hug her. “I missed you too.” she said quietly as she cherished the hug they both shared. They soon let each other go and stood quiet, studying each other. His gaze focused over towards the unborn child and looked away. “We need to talk.” he said softly and quietly almost in a whispering tone. “Do we have to talk right now, can’t we just sit down and watch a movie together?” she asked as she turned her back towards him. “No, we can’t… sooner or later we have to decide what’s best for our unborn child.” he said softly with sensuality. She quietly sat on a sofa and looked up towards her husband. “What do you think is best for us and the unborn child?” she asked as she looked down towards the unborn child. “I think it’ll be best if we had an abortion.” he said quietly with a hint of confusion in his voice. “Why?… Why would you come to that conclusion?” she asked as she attempted to hide her face behind her palms.
