A Gift.
#WritcoStoryPrompt33
"It's a girl! "
The doctor gushed, placing the wailing infant on the woman's chest.
She heaved trying to catch her breath in the aftermath of her gruelling labour. Tears of pain mingled briefly with tears of joy before dissolving into tears of sadness.
She had once again given birth to a girl! Her third daughter. What would her husband and in-laws do to her now?...
She appreciated the gift she was granted nonetheless,
but what would her husband say ?
She was happy,yes ofcourse she was but what would
people say ?
Would their desire for a boy child blind them from seeing this gift they have been blessed with ?
