Emily POV
Despite the "offense", something clicks inside her and she stops making comments about my love life for the next five minutes. During this time, the doctor starts pointing out little parts of the baby's almost-formed body on the screen, and Lana's eyes light up in amusement which inherently makes my heart crinkle as I watch this heartwarming scene.
As we listen to the baby's heartbeat I remember the beating of my own every time Nathan was next to me. At first so timeless, so arrhythmic and racing, but then calm and pleasurable. That was the true Vandenn experience, such a gift.
Gift. Shit. Amelia's gift.
"What could be more important than listening to the heartbeat of your goddamn nephew Emily Marie Mason?" Not a minute had passed since I'd pulled out my phone and the brunette was already hyped through and through over the slightest thing.
I was praying to God this was just a phase because of the hormone mess because if not, I'd end up going insane in a heartbeat.
