My christening party

The phone rang again. It was the doctor. The team of doctors at the clinic had looked at the blood-test results and they'd decided that the embryo, giving off an hCG reading of 15, had a chance. Pernilla and I had been calling the embryo Bongo. Bongo was there inside her, but he was weak. Pernilla had a whole ream of new instructions—inject more of this, stop that, get up at the crack of dawn and come straight to the clinic because you'll probably be on a plasma drip all day.

“It's the Battle for Bongo,” I said, and we smiled and I went into the kitchen on my own, closed the door, and gave the risen dough an even harder pounding. Then I soaked some dried porcini mushrooms, sliced up some prosciutto and some garlic, and made a creamy, peppery pasta sauce.
