A/n Here is the first short story that I promised :) This little one popped up when I looked outside at a pregnant friend in, you guessed it, Spring. Hope to hear what you think of it - TheDreamer
Spring brings new life everywhere
April sat on a park bench, her eyes closed and a smile on her face that made her lips gently curve.
As she opened her eyes she inhaled deeply and could smell spring in the air.
She could smell the grass that had just been cut, the slightly rotting foliage underneath the trees and the fragrant flowers that were scattered throughout the park.
She looked around and could see the signs of spring everywhere.
There was the sun that shone brightly and warmed her skin gently. The slightly cool breeze in the warm air. Then there were the flowers that were blooming and full of colour filling the air with their sweet scent and the bees buzzing in between them. Birds were chirping and people, parents, grandparents and children were all either running around laughing and playing or settling down for a picnic.
April loved spring because of all these things and the new life it brought. The ducks in the pond with their ducklings following them. The chicks in the nest chirping as their parents flew back to feed them and the new sprouts of flowers and trees that had yet to grow.
But most of all she loved the new life that this spring was going to give her and her husband. She put a hand on her rounded belly and felt her unborn son gently kick against it. She turned and smiled at her husband while lacing the fingers of her other hand through his.
As he pulled her close and enfolded her in his arms, she let out a happy little sigh and settled against him thinking, 'spring brings new life everywhere'.
