Early one morning, Mia found herself in the bathroom for the third time, sick to her stomach. She had been feeling increasingly ill over the past four days, and it seemed to be getting worse. Exhausted, she lay down on the cold floor and closed her eyes. Hearing someone enter, she opened them to see her husband, Agustin, standing in the doorway, concern etched on his face.

"Are you okay, mi amor?" Agustin asked gently, looking at her with worry.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. This sickness is getting worse," Mia replied, frustration in her voice. Agustin walked over and sat beside her.

"Did Jul—" he started, but Mia cut him off.

"No, she didn't," Mia sighed. "Maybe I should see Mama first. She might know what's wrong before I go to Julieta."

Agustin nodded and helped her up. Mia went back to bed, hoping the sickness would subside. Hours later, as the morning turned to day, she got up, took a bath, and changed into fresh clothes before heading to her mother's room.

She knocked on the door, and Alma answered, concern in her eyes. "Mia, are you okay?"

"Not really," Mia said as Alma ushered her in.

"What's wrong?" Alma asked, leading her to sit down.

"I've been feeling really sick lately. I keep throwing up in the morning, I'm restless, tired, and hungry all the time. It's been happening for the past few days, and I don't know what's going on," Mia explained, her voice tinged with anxiety. Alma smiled gently.

"Mama, are you okay?" Mia asked, puzzled by her mother's expression.

"Oh, mi niña, do you know what this means?" Alma said, a twinkle in her eye.

"What?" Mia asked, a sense of anticipation growing.

"You're pregnant," Alma said, her smile widening.

"Wait, what?" Mia exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief. "But..."

"It's the same symptoms I had when I was pregnant with you and your siblings," Alma said, her smile never fading.

"I'm pregnant," Mia repeated, placing a hand on her stomach in awe. "I'm pregnant."

"Yes, you are," Alma confirmed, her voice full of warmth.

"I've got to tell Agustin!" Mia said, about to dash out the door, but was stopped as Pepa burst in, screaming excitedly.

"Pepa!" Mia exclaimed.

"Say it!" Pepa urged.

"I'm pregnant too!" Mia shouted, and the two sisters screamed with joy, jumping up and down.

Their husbands, along with Julieta and Bruno, came running when they heard the commotion.

"What's going on? Are you okay, mi amor?" Felix asked, looking at his wife.

Mia and Pepa exchanged mischievous looks before shouting in unison, "I'm pregnant!"

"What?" Agustin exclaimed, and promptly fainted.
