Rebirth

As the spirit sat and watched the girl on the other side of the mirror, he felt such sadness. Despite being dead for only a short time, it felt like an eternity. He watched his wife with loving eyes and watched as she.......lovingly caressed with her soft fingers the sensual little budge expanding her tummy. He felt tears in his eyes as he joyfully realized that he was leaving a part of himself with his beloved wife. He only wished he could reach through the mirror and experience this new life with her.

Out of the corner of his eyes, to his surprise, he saw movement in her bedroom and was horrified to see his neighbor, Chance, saunter in behind her, planting a tender kiss on her neck. She turned her head toward him and drank of his charms deeply, giving herself fully to him.

“Stop, stop!” he yelled but no sound came out of his lips behind his mirror entrapment. He clawed from the other side until his fingers were raw to no avail. He knew he would never again join her on the other side as he gradually faded into the hereafter.

“I’m glad he died before he found out I was the father,” sneered Chance as he nibbled her ear. “Did he really think you were going to the gym all those times?”

“What made you think you are the father?” she laughed sadistically.
