     Waking up the next morning, with my face down the toilet is not how I wanted a new day at home to start, I vomited for the last time before flushing the toilet with a groan.
   Standing, I brushed my teeth and signed tiredly, four months and the morning still sickness wont go. I thought grudgingly. Taking a shower, i dressed up in some carpi-jeans and a big black t-shirt that covered the bump with white sneakers. Going downstairs I turned to see jen in the kitchen, flipping pancakes and smiled  as I took a sit at the counter. She smiled with a nod, pushing a plate of pancakes and bacon with a glass of orange juice over to me and I hungrily gulped them down then asked for more which she complied to do with a roll of her eyes.
   After having a third plate of pancakes, I washed the dishes then joined jen on the couch as i rub my swollen stomach. Its starting to grow into a large bump. "no work today?"

    "nope, I always make sure my weekend are free. Saturday and Sundays are my days off." she replied, then turned to me, staring down at my hand as I continued to rub my baby bump.

     "how's the little peanut?" she asked, poking my stomach and I squirmed, slapping her hand away.

    "hopefully alright, I have to go to the hospital at some point to see an OB/GYN." I responded with a small sign.

    "does Kevin know?" she asked and I nodded my head with a sad smile.

  "I told him but he called me a liar and called security to kick me out of his company." Kate awkwardly rested her hand on mine then patted it gently.

    "he's an ass and you can do better." she tried to sound sympathetic, giving me an encouraging smile, which looked more like a grimace and i laughed in amusement.

   "thanks for trying to cheer me up but am not so sure I want to do better right now, I think am just going to concentrate on having my baby." I signed, shrugging.

   "well I tried... and that's probably the wisest thing for you to do. you know if you're looking for work I know some fashion houses looking to hire. I doubt you could do a runway, but at least you could do some fashion photoshoot for pregnant women. you know, to gain some money." she says, then turned to face me fully. "are you interested?"

     I shook my head without hesitation and replied. "I don't think so, the last thing I want is the press knowing where I ran to and besides I don't really want to go back to that scene. I do understand what you mean about the money though, but I have a lot saved that could last me at least a year. I still need to work if am going to provide for this peanut." I replied, then frowned with a thoughtful look. "but I think I should just get some simple part-time job that is stress free, only then can i think about your offer after I give birth."

   Kate nodded in understanding and smiled. "I get it, just alert me if you change your mind." patting my hand again she stood up. "well I have some major editing to do so I'll be in my room."

    Nodding, I watched her go upstairs then signed, turning back to the TV which held no interest of mine. Stretching on the couch, I closed my eyes and sleep suddenly overcame me. A few hours later, the sound of breaking glass startled me from sleep and I sat up in a shocked daze, looking around the house. Getting up, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and walked out through the back door when I heard another sound of breaking glass coming from our neighbours.
    Worried, I crossed over to their yard and hesitated for a minute before knocking on the back doors.

   A deep baritone voice called out in a British accent. "hold on please." I signed, then leaned closer to peer through the glass when I heard series of cursing then another sound of breaking glass. Tentatively, I open the slide doors and walked inside what seems to be the kitchen.
