Far From Yesterday (Marissonshipping Fanfic)

Chapter 12

"How does anyone eat this?" Mairin muttered, eyeing the mass of spinach leaves on her fork with a scrunched up nose. "What do I look like, a Miltank?"

While Mairin may have not been the best when she was younger, she did understand the importance of having good food in her diet. But that didn't mean that she'd eat whatever was suppose to be 'healthy'. Sure, she'd have some carrots with her dinner or lettuce on her sandwich.

But salad was not a main course!

Especially when it was made mostly of bitter spinach.

But no, the stupid doctor had to make his stupid recommendations on what she should be eating, and what would be best for the baby. So of course Alain had rallied the whole lab against her, and suddenly the meals she was being offered were much different from what she wanted. And it wasn't like she could just make her own food– her morning sickness combined with her poor cooking skills made it so she was never in the kitchen for long.

And since she had her amnesia, she had no idea where her current candy stashes even were!

"Chespie," Mairin groaned, shoving her tray of salad away and leaning back on her bed. "Can you get me my phone? I'm ordering a pizza!"

"Naught," Chespie rumbled, giving her a disapproving glare. She glared right back at the giant Pokemon, who was making no effort to grab her phone– which was in her purse on the other side of the room. She sighed, shifting to gaze towards Ruby, who was positioned like a guard at the foot of her bed.

The Absol was giving her a meaningful look, and finally Mairin sighed, and shoved another mouthful of the salad into her mouth.

Perhaps the worst part was that the greens didn't trigger her morning sickness in anyway, meaning that she didn't even have that excuse not to eat it. There were vitamin supplements she could be taking that could be giving her the same nutrition as this salad without the horrible taste– but everyone else agreed that having it naturally in her diet was better!

Deep down Mairin did agree as well– but she wanted something else besides salad. And she had already eaten the Tamato berries that had been put on top, meaning there was nothing else even remotely edible on her plate. She couldn't even gripe about it to everyone else, because they were eating dinner at the table, and the mere smell of the meatloaf had made her feel dizzy. So instead she was eating up in her room with her Pokemon.

Okay, maybe she was being a bit dramatic, but she was going to demand ice cream after this.

"They better not make me do this the whole pregnancy," Mairin muttered, shifting her salad about with her fork in hopes of finding more berries. "I won't last that long."

Ruby laid her head on the bed, giving her a reassuring smile. Mairin returned it, before taking another bite. She had been to the doctors three days before, which had got much smoother than her visit to the doctor about her amnesia. Of course it had taken place at an entirely different office with different people, which was very welcomed.

The appointment had been very brief, with mostly a kind nurse explaining to her what to expect in the following months, the prospect having been both exciting and daunting. In less than a year she'd be holding a child in her arms– her own baby.

They had learned that she was a month into the pregnancy– which had been pretty surprising to both her and Alain. Seeing how sick she had been, one would have thought that it would have been the same the days before her amnesia had hit. But according to Alain she had only felt under the weather the night before it had hit– nothing more.
