Can You Hear My Heartbeat Novels & Stories

And I was listening. At first, my heartbeat was the loudest thing I could hear. A persistent yet powerful thumping in my chest. I imagined the blood moving through the vasculature in my body, traveling through arteries, veins, and capillaries. “Blood is life, blood is magic,” I heard my old teacher recite. A smile curved at the corner of my mouth. My heartbeat slowly died down. It wasn't that it stopped beating, just that I couldn't hear it anymore. I'd sunk into myself, as was normal during my mediations, now I was extending myself, sending my mind outwards.

Lucas said as he pressed a few buttons on the machine. At first, I didn’t hear anything, but then I heard this whooshing sound that I thought was the heartbeat at first. A few seconds later I heard a distinct thumping sound. If I had been a human, I doubt I could have heard it. It was faint, but I could hear the fast beat of my baby’s heart. If I could look in a mirror at this moment, I was pretty sure I was smiling from ear to ear. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was a cheesy smile either.

Lub. Dub. Lub. Dub. Lub. Dub. The sound of heartbeats sounded rhythmic. "Did you hear that?" and the figure in question nodded his head. “So can a vampire who is a member of the main house hear the sound of a vampire's heartbeat?” "I think so, Ika," answered Iki in answer to her twin's question. "From the first time, Sister Diana can also hear it?" “Shhh... Ika!” Iki exclaimed.

The thought was so fast that I barely had time to change it when my palm tingles. A subtle heat spread outward; it wasn’t dramatic, or explosive… but was steady and unmistakably there. That was when I heard it… a beating sound in my ear… like a faint drum. Or a… pulse. “Do you hear it?” Maeve asked, her voice barely above a whisper, and I knew it was because she didn’t want to break the concentration, but she also needed to know where I was at. “My father’s heartbeat?” I asked without hesitation. “Yes. I feel it.”

All that was there were his serious eyes and perfect face. He leaned in closer and | could smell his breath. It smelled like rain and mint gum. | was breathing heavily now, my heart pounding harder and harder. His eyes were trained solely on my lips, then wandered back to my eyes. His lips brushed lightly against mine and | sucked in a breath, my lips tingling. | suddenly tilted my head sideways and looked away from him. Pushing his body away, | got up hurriedly and stepped out of the ring. "Where are you going?" he asked, climbing down after me.

He asks me and I nod my head. He takes my hand and puts it on my stomach and his hand is on top of mine. “Now I want you to take a deep breath and block out every other sound and just focus on yourself and listen.” He tells me. I do exactly as he says even though it isn't easy focusing on just myself considering the other people in this room but after a few minutes I'm able to do it, I block out the world and just focus on myself. Then I hear my heartbeat and I'm just about to give up when I hear it. It's so soft like a flutter and I focus in on it. Then it becomes clear it's so fast but there's no mistaking it, that's another heartbeat.

Shaking her body gently again and again, it seemed not to work. Bending over, he put his ear on her chest and listened to her heartbeat. It was too weak. Barely there.

"I didn't mean to be dormant for that long, but for you to believe me, we're gonna hear the baby's heartbeat together, okay?" My eyes popped open in disbelief and I lowered my tone. "Can we do that?" I asked, unbelieving her and I felt her nod. "Yes. All you have to do is close your eyes, take deep breaths, and shut out every other sound. Focus on your womb, there's a faint heartbeat there, and you should hear it. Are you ready?" She asked and I nodded. Together we took deep breaths and focused on trying to hear my child's heartbeat. After a few unlucky tries, I finally heard it.

I swallowed the hard lump in my throat, balling my hands into a fist to stop them from shaking. "And your heart. It won't stop racing," Her soft hand found its way to my chest with her gaze still locked on mine, "It is pounding so loud like that of the beating of war drums," A soft gasp rolled off my lips. When I thought I was composed, my body gave me away, shamelessly. How could she hear my heartbeat clearly? Of course, she was a wolf with an adequate ability of hearing.

“There is a second heartbeat… she’s pregnant.” I stared at her, unable to move or even say a word. “That’s… not possible. I would have heard it.” She turned to me. “It’s really faint. If you don’t pay attention, you wouldn’t hear it.” I shook my head. “I’m trying, but I still can’t hear it.” “Then calm yourself,” she said, “and listen.” I closed my eyes and pushed the pain and guilt out. I listened with my head, and for a moment I didn’t hear anything.
