This piece follows the internal struggle of the mother as she deals with this information, and decides to carry the baby to full term, despite the fact he has passed inside of her.

Carrice looked up to find the sun high in the sky. “Starboard side, in-oars!” Her voice boomed across the length of the deck, ringing clear over the …

You’d been waiting for that phone call all morning, hovering moth-like around the old-fashioned landline in the kitchen.
