Isabel
was lying on the couch, watching a dull afternoon program on TV. Noticing the
movements of her son in her bulky belly. And smiled, imagining how it might be
to have him nestled in his arms soon. Miguel entered the room with a folder in
his hand. Passed around the couch to sit beside her and gave a protective hug
over the shoulders.
-Are
you okay? Do you want me to bring anything?
-You're here. That's everything I need- and she kissed him.
Hey boy! What a pleasure being here right? Although somewhat obscure, your mother is not entirely transparent ... hehe. I came to visit, to bring a gift, now you're about to go out there, the theater of the world ...
Isabel took his hand and gently supported on her belly. He surrounded his eyes, while drawing a huge smile.
... And before they come to manipulate you from the bright side. The game began centuries ago you know? And this time your blood will not be with the wrong side. You can be proud, man, because we don’t take anyone in our ranks ...
-It moved...- he said, looking at her.
-It felt the hand of his loving father- ... she whispered.
Your parents have made a promise of you, believe me. I have looked around the branches of your genealogic tree and... wow! What memories! Your great-grandfather on the father side, for example, gave us great joy... jo! you do not see how he handled the ax ... not to mention your great-grandmother, Mrs. Tejeda, who drowned in mud to their defective offspring of the light, without regard... what a great woman...
-Oh! Did you feel it? What a kick!
-Of course, if it continues like that it will cause internal injuries- she laughed- This one goes for sports.
-The pride of his father ...
But let us forget nostalgy: you overcome them all, I see. Allow me to put my hands in your little brain...
-Ah!
-What is it, dear?
... I will extract a couple of things from there than will be worthless for you. Let's see ... a moment ... that's it. Perfect.
-Uh ... I think it was nothing. I have felt a sudden move as if they had wanted to turn around.
-What now? Do you feel anything, any pain?
-Nothing ... nothing ... this is simply a scare. It seems relaxed now.
Well, boy, it seems that you are fully prepared. As you can, begin to reap the merits, and that you are our champion. I will come back to visit occasionally, over time. See ya...
-You're here. That's everything I need- and she kissed him.

The
last nurse left the room, closing the door softly behind him. Isabel was lying
in bed with the baby sucking on her breast, and Miguel sat in a chair beside him
patting his skinny head. They both watched with delight as well and could spend
hours, watching in complete silence. Everything was going well, and this was
his moment. Deep joy and happiness.
-He’s so handsome! - Isabel exclaimed letting herself get carried away by emotion- and that seems to wake up right?
-Yes, of course ... the beauty of mother and father's intelligence- Miguel laughed.
-Of all our favorite names what you think it is better?
Miguel left his scintillating joy abated, and was thoughtful for a long time, as if in the face of her son there was writing his name in visible letters. At last he spoke:
-Jesús. I love this name for it.
-Yes, it is very nice- confirmed Isabel, rocking to his eldest son, excited.
They kissed with affection, happy as ever had been.
While He was watching with fixation.
Without batting any eyelid.
