#161 Write a mini-story (100 to 250 words ) that begins with: "They had nothing to say to each other."
They had nothing to say to each other. They were both in such shock that while their minds were reeling trying to figure out how, when, and why this had happened to them, they were speechless. They dumbly stared down at the little baby sleeping peacefully in its hospital bassinet that had just been dropped off in their room by one of the nurses. Anyone who took one look at the three of them in this room would know that this was not their baby. There was but one decision to be made. Do they take this baby--the baby they carried to term, the baby they thought was theirs for the last nine months, the baby that was supposed to be theirs-- and leave the hospital and love him as their own? Or, do they go down the long, emotionally and physically devastating, legal road and sue the doctors and hospital that somehow implanted the wrong embryo into her uterus. They finally look at each other and both know that they will choose the former but can only hope that their baby was not out there in the world somewhere unknown to them.
