Nidia had been sleeping particularly well during her pregnancy. On that night, like the many others before it, she was having pleasant dreams. She rolled over in her sleep but opened her eyes blearily when she realized there was no one beside her.
She glanced at the clock. It was already nine in the morning. Nidia gently ran her hands over her pregnant belly and murmured to herself, "I'm truly sleeping more and more soundly every night."
Nidia got out of bed to change and wash up. When she headed downstairs, Bubsy was already in the living room dancing along with the characters in his TV show.
"One! Two! Three! Four! Two! Two! Three! Four!"
