"Where Were You?"
Where were you?
By Karyn Indursky
Uncontrollable contractions woke Brittany.
Shifting to the other side of the bed, she rose.
Hurriedly, she drove to the hospital.
\Intensified contractions made Brittany's body ache.
Doctors told her the baby was breech.
Fear took over everyone.
Slicing through the skin to get the baby began.
Before long, they had the baby out.
They sewed and stabled Brittany's layers of skin.
A nurse gently set a healthy boy in Brittany's arms.
Naming him was easy. He was Hunter after his deceased father.
Brittany couldn't wait to raise Hunter.
Only one thing bothered her.
She didn't want Hunter to feel like his father left him.
Brittany had to explain about the exploding airplane killing him.
She would make a nurturing mother.
Hunter would never ask, "Where were you?"
