    Summary

    “Sometimes our bodies know better than we do, when the time is right for these things. For all of the effort you and Mike have put in, to have a child years ago, it’s happening now because the time is right for your body now in a way that it wasn’t when you were thirty or thirty-five. Biology often knows best, if you can understand what I mean by that.”

    Billie Joe listened to the calm way his doctor spoke, and in conjunction with the kindness that had returned to his gaze, replacing the excitement and amusement that had been there previously, he remembered why he had chosen Dr. Carmichael to be his doctor all those years ago. The explanation settled on him like a weighted blanket, and it left him with little room for argument, because how could he argue with biology? Shoulders slumping, Billie released a quick sigh, and the corners of his mouth even began to tilt upwards. “I guess… I’m having a baby, then.”

    This is another one partially inspired by the book, 1000 Feelings For Which There Are No Names.
