The technology that informs you your future baby is mysteriously endangered also makes him real, a boy-like creature swimming in utero. (And this was before the new, hyper-realistic sonography that, judging by General Electric's TV commercials, portrays your fetus as a mesmerizing little 3-D merman.)

Sounds to me like his BABY could be talking to this guy and calling him daddy and he would still refuse to acknowledge that it was a person in there, not a "fetus" or "boy-like creature".

The last thing Emma was aware of before surrendering to the anesthetic was Charlie kicking madly.

This part really tears me up. My real name is Charlie, and when I was in my Mommys tummy, they said I was having complications and may not make it out alive (something about the umbilical cord). Thank God my parents were not the type to have an abortion, or even the type to be easily persuaded. Seems like more obstetricians are not hesitating to bring up abortion at the first instant something wrong may be happening.

My friends had a baby a couple years ago. The doctors tried to persuade them the entire length of the pregnancy to abort because the baby had about 10 things wrong with it. They carried the baby to term despite the doctors' dire predictions and delivered a perfectly healthy baby.
