Chapter 3: Reborn

- How are you darling? Jake was asking his wife Susan, as she was 9 months pregnant and it was due.- Good, call the ambulance. It's coming. Our baby is coming! Hurry, Jake!

Jake too had prayed for a child as he would rather raise

and love his own child than adopt. But if she wouldn’t have been able to have a child by the time she turned 35, then they had agreed to adopt. Luckily, that wasn't necessary anymore. God had given them a child, a perfectly healthy son.

Now, both Susan and Jake felt that their family was

whole, as their lives would have been empty without the joy of having a child. Their lives were perfect now.
