I slid down in distress. Questions flood my mind. I close my eyes and take deep breaths. Feeling better I open them and look around. Great I'm still here.

My stomach makes sounds and I get up. There's a whole box of doughnuts and I eat them like I've never ate before. There's a knock on the door "can I come in?" Kristen asks.

I go and unlock the door letting her in. "You stormed in here like you heard that your father's alive. What's wrong?" She says. We both take a seat and I stare at her.

"Nothing happened. Natalie just reminded me of something" I say opening my files but she stops me and gives me a questioning look.

"Fine. I got diarrhea so I went to get some tablets happy now" I say standing up and packing so that I can leave. She gets up while laughing.

Diarrhea was the last I could think off. "Diarrhea" she says holding her stomach. I take my bags and walk out with her laughing ass behind me.

"Okay, don't be upset. I'm sorry...I just can't take it. Why would you all of a sudden get it?" She asks finally calming down. I just shake my head and catch a taxi.

Climbing the stairs I feel nausea. Those doughnuts are working.  I quickly run up bumping into someone. "Cake, relax. Where you running to?" Vally asks picking up my files that have spread all over.

I notice the little scan and pick it up before he can see it. "I ate bacon by mistake and now I'm feeling nausea" I lie. He shakes his head and walks with me.

"I was coming to pick you up. But you cake, just spared me the ride" he says unlocking the door. I put my hand on my throat as I'm close to letting it out.

As soon as he opens I enter and go to the bathroom vomiting. "Jeez cake, you need a doctor" Vally comes and holds my hair whilst I let everything out. I can't do this. After almost every meal I vomit.

He is going to catch up some time and it's going to be over for me. "Much better" he asks rubbing my back as I stand up straight.

I nod and he puts me in his arms. "Cake, you shouldn't be so careless and watch what you eat. I know the monster you become when you hungry but I don't like seeing you in this state. Okay" he says kissing my head.

"Come on now. Everything is going to be fine" he says and I nod. If only he knew what is actually going on. That I'm carrying a little us in me. There's a little someone that's growing inside me. Our seed.

Later that day after the throwing up I had some herbal tea and went to sleep. "Cake, you awake. I was becoming worried.. You slept for like 4 hours" he says taking off his trousers.

I sit up and look at him. "What's the time?" I ask him.

"Few minutes before midnight" he says after looking at his watch. Dang. I literally slept for more then four hours. This is getting even more suspicious and it's worse now that I know the cause.

If it were any ordinary day I would have suggested being home sick. He comes and sits down looking at me. "Cake, are you okay?" He asks holding my hand.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I just got a lot on my mind about work.." I smile at him. He shakes his head and plays with my hands.

"Lorraine called me while you were asleep" he says avoiding eye contact. Some good news at last. Just exactly what my ears needed to hear.

I put my hand on his cheek and he looks at me. "And?" I ask although I know what his going to say. I'm the master behind it after all.

"She wants to meet with me tomorrow" he says moving his face away to avoid me. Finally, my effort will be recognized.
