The Contract Omega( MXM Romance)
"That's the heartbeat."
The flickering was so fast, so impossibly quick and strong. I stared at it, unable to look away, unable to process that this tiny thing inside me was alive and growing and real.
"Can we hear it?" Aldric's voice came out rough, thick with emotion I had never heard from him before.
"Of course." Dr. Rose pressed a button, and suddenly the room filled with sound.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh.
Fast and steady, like a galloping horse. The heartbeat of our baby, loud and undeniable and absolutely perfect.
