" 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 fourth daughter. The little thing was cursed from birth , Dared to be born .
Never her husband's . The women had cheated, what a sinnful thing to do .
But little moonlight ...shined with her smile , the baby had the cold eyes of a lioness.
The doctor had not seen such a baby ,in his whole life . He smiled and said 'mama you have a beautiful baby' no word could fit the doctors unspoken words . You can tell that by his face impression
Just few seconds from the moment, The husband had just stormed into the hospital... he had put a serious face on him , his eyes were filled with fire . He looked down upon his wife .The woman had a guilty face on her , you could see through her pain . She dared to alter a word .
But her husband smiled at her , he said ' hunny I'm at peace now ' as he held her hand .
The doctor could now understand , the woman's sadness.
The husband again said ' I call her moonlight butterfly' The little thing smiled at his dad , now that was a happy ending.
