Melanie: So, what are your interests, hunny?

Me: Your son in my room.

Melanie: What???

The words after gone were left unheard. Suddenly I went from with to without, from expecting to I don’t know, what—unexpecting? How can I realize this leaving when you never yet arrived, holding that whispered might-have-been alongside bitter what-if- I-had-only? These things happen for a reason they said, and I should know there is no fault. Just fault lines to be stepped across, between mother and not, the tasks of crossing out the numbered weeks penciled on the calendar, of telling who I must. Strange how my belly still curved, my breasts twinged, the daylong quease carried on, as if my body hopefilled to the last, believed it no more than I. My less than little one, I would have flown to the moon, would have crawled there if crawling could have brought you home. Break open hope, dilate and gently scrape, suction what’s leftover into lines on discharge papers. Good to go. Goodbye, my blossom.

Here's a funny video of Adam Sandler reading the incredibly adorable and funny speech made by the Sprouse Twins! Enjoy!
