<div style="text-align: justify;">Alexia couldn’t help but smile looking at her mother. She was pretty sure that Mom dreamed about a little baby girl. If the child turned out anything like her mother, though, Grandma wouldn’t have much of a little girly girl to pamper. Alexia had been a good kid, but a good kid with a wild nature, always running, climbing on trees, doing basically anything a boy would do. Looking at her son, Alexia came to the conclusion that she had been much wilder than Thomas could ever be, and shook her head. Her wild girl days were over, at least with the tree climbing. She had two children to worry about now, after all.<br/><br/>Focusing back on the family’s conversation, Alexia smiled at her mother’s comment. She wouldn’t be riding, as she wasn’t very sure that she should, but that wouldn’t be a problem. Alexia could always keep herself busy, and a book or some needlework would distract her while mom and Thomas - and maybe Conor - engaged in riding. <br/><br/>After making up her mind on carrying something to do, Alexia waited for her son’s answer to her question. She couldn’t help but laugh when Thomas said he hoped the new sibling would be an alien. Alexia loved her son’s vivid imagination, and sometimes couldn’t figure out where he got all these ideas from. Then again, she had been very imaginative as well as a child, so it didn’t come as a surprise. <br/><br/>“I’m sure she’ll love to sing with you if we have a baby girl”, she replied more seriously. “Yes, honey, accompaniment”, Alexia completed, nodding patiently at her son’s question about the word. <br/><br/>With a sigh, Alexia watched her boy in silence for a moment. She had never imagined that being a mother would be so satisfying. Actually, there was nothing Alexia would have changed in her life, if she were to be honest. She had the perfect home, the best parents one could have, a loving husband and an adorable son, a baby on the way, and even her brother - despite not being so closely integrated with the family - was a part of her happiness.<br/><br/>For a moment, Alexia thought to herself what she would do if anything ever changed. Shaking her head, Alexia tried to refuse the thought, despite the fact that it kept playing in her mind. After trying to battle it for a moment, Alexia decided to get up from the table and take a breath of fresh air outside, as was her habit when worried or upset. “If you excuse me for a moment”, she muttered while standing up. “Just need a break and some fresh air”, Alexia completed, hoping she would have at least a minute or two alone.</div>
