So like, I'm on my way to the kitchen to ask Tita over there for some help. Yeah I know, I gotta ask my little sister for help, but who else could I ask? I mean I don't really want to talk to Pedro right now and I know Esperanza can't say anything so Tita's the last resort.
I needed help on this diet thing that John prescribed to me. I think it's his fault for prescribing me with this, I mean look at the side effects it's giving me! I've been getting some serious digestive problems, my breath literally smells like I've been eating trash, oh and not to mention the flatulence I've been suffering from. Yeah that's right, I pass gas and it doesn't smell good.
Good thing I'm in a room by myself.
But now I still have to listen to John. I've been told to stay away from root and leafy vegetables. At least I'm not the biggest fan of vegetables. But then he recommends that I should start to do some physical labor?! Now that's crazy talk.
Now that I think about it, I could see why he would suggest something like that. I've been gaining weight, which is weird since I haven't been eating tons of food. I really want this problem to be solved and I want it solved now. Sigh. I'll just wait until my body fixes itself.
Tita's POV
I'm freaking out, what the hell am I gonna do??? I'm like lowkey scared because I could possibly be pregnant.
OH MY GOOSHH! WHAT AM I GONNA TELL JOHN?
So I know what you're probably thinking, "What did you do? Oh no you did something bad did you?"
YES! YES I DID SOMETHING BAD! PEDRO HELPED BLOOM MY FLOWER!
I'm a cruel person who's unfaithful to John. But at the same time, whenever I'm with Pedro I just can't stop my feelings for him.
Okay, I really need to tell Pedro about my pregnancy, but first, I need to make the three king's day bread.

This bread reminds me of my childhood and- wait, did I just see who I just saw?
Oh no, OH NO, SHE CAME BACK.
Mama Elena came to haunt my life. Why me?
.
.
.
I can't believe I just saw Mama Elena. I think I'm hallucinating or is it a side effect of my pregnancy? Either way, she's creeping me out. She needs to rest!
But besides that- OH MY GOSH IS THAT GERTRUDIS!!! IT IS GERTRUDIS!!
It's been so long since I've seen her, and I'm so glad that she looks well and I deeply miss her. Now I finally have someone to confide. Gotta go, gonna catch up with her.
