instantly

sunday scribblings #141 prompt for "i knew instantly...", with a slight change to third person :)
instantly

she knew instantly
it was the right thing to do
nothing to think over
no indecision or remorse
not one thing to change
embrace the newness
forge ahead
her heart pounded
nerves and anxiety aside
a deep breath and a push
relief and happiness
her heart and mind swelled
another beautiful baby to adore
