Savage Grace

By Emily Kimelman

I’m pregnant.Gripping the test in my hand I can’t stop staring at the blue cross in the window.Tears roll hot and slow down my cheeks. I huddle in a low ball emotion bowing me. My dog Blue whines and presses against my side his warm tongue laving my cheek his musky scent enveloping me. A familiar comfort.Will my child love Blue as I do?My phone vibrates on the bathroom counter and I hiccup a sob.
