Vs. baby

“The f—” He swallowed. “It... the baby likes the sound of your voice.”
	There was one short beat of total silence. I could not move a muscle, even to blink. Then—
	“Holy crow, you can hear him!” Bella shouted. In the next second, she winced. Edward’s hand moved to the top peak of her belly and gently rubbed the spot where it must have kicked her.
	“Shh,” he murmured. “You startled it... him.”
	Her eyes got all wide and full of wonder. She patted the side of her stomach. “Sorry, baby.”
	Edward was listening hard, his head tilted toward the bulge.
	“What’s he thinking now?” she demanded eagerly.
	“It... he or she, is . . .” He paused and looked up into her eyes. His eyes were filled with a similar awe—only his were more careful and grudging. “He’s happy,” Edward said in an incredulous voice.
