>>171084>clenched in his tiny fist*I see something!*
It is unexpected, utterly unexpected, like a disturbance in the earth, a tumultuous jarring. I see something other than what I expected here. I see a movement -- a small one. But I have seen it.
And then I see it again. And now I see that it is the hub of the needle in the woman’s belly that has jerked. First to one side. Then to the other side. Once more it wobbles, is *tugged*, like a fishing line nibbled by a sunfish.
Again. And I *know*!
It is the fetus that worries thus. It is the fetus struggling against the needle.
