Emily's POV

"Oh Shit!" I shouted as I observe myself on the mirror.

I'm now 8th months pregnant, and hormonal imbalance is absolutely sucks!

My nose got bigger, my eyes looks like restless though I have enough sleep everyday. My back neck becomes darker as well as my arm pit. I'm so ugly now! after all the beauty regimes I did, this what happened. Geez!

After taking a bath, I silently step with my tiptoes going back to our room, I don't want to wake Andrew, he's tired last night from work. I wear my clothes but it doesn't fit me anymore, I decided to change it for something loose.

My tummy is really big now, my two babies keep on kicking it every night. I'm wondering if they play inside my tummy, well.. that's hilarious.

The whether today is quite cold, the moist on the glasses of the windows blurs the view outside. It's a perfect time to drink my favorite tea and eat the cinnamon breads we bought yesterday. I also cut some lemons for my regular application on my armpits and neck.

------------------------------------------

After soaking my whole body in milk bath, patting the fresh cucumbers on my eyes and applying lemon juice on my darker areas, Gosh! Nothing happens!! This is my third day of doing this, I can't see even just a little improvement. I'm so frustrated, I look so ugly! I cover my face using my hands.

"Hey, are you okay?" oh, no! don't.. don't look at me. I don't want to turn you off.

"Emie" he calls while pulling away my hands from my face.

"Why you're hiding your face?" he asked. I don't know what to answer.

"Uh.. Andy,.." I slowly uncover my face.

He's just staring at me. Why? come on! say what you want to say. I know I'm ugly, you're just holding back yourself not to talk about my appearance.

"What's the problem?" he inquires again.

"Do you still love me?" I asked. he was surprise of my question. His face becomes more serious now.

"I will always love you Em. Why you're asking me that question?" he lifts his one eyebrow.

"Be-be-cause.. I look so ugly now" I sigh. He laugh again like what he always do. Okay, I'm used to it.

"Emie! you're not ugly okay? don't think you are. You're still the most beautiful wife on earth" he said.

"Why you're holding back your laughter" Just like you're not telling the truth. *cries*

"Emie, No. Hey! you're not ugly! don't frown. Those changes are just temporary. Look at the other pregnant? it's normal. Don't worry"

Yes, it's normal, I should think that this is normal. Yes, it's really normal. Oh.. gosh! I won't go outside of our house for the mean time. I can't let other people see me in this situation.

"Uhm, Em, we'll see my parents later, maybe before lunch"

Omg!!!!

"W-where?"

"At Hilton Hotel" Fudge!!! it can't be!

"Why don't you invite them to visit in our house? I cook for them" I suggests.

Please Andy, please.. please..

"They said, they'll have business meeting with Hiltons after our lunch together. It's okay Em, you can cook for them next time they'll visit here"

No Andy, You don't understand. I can't go outside. Geez, I wanna cry.

"Come on, let's take a bath now" he said.

Do I have a choice?

*None Em, so you better prep' up now!*

Okay! fine. I'm going.

-------------------------------------------

As I step my foot out from the car, something inside me wants to pull me back on our house. I'm not ready.

I'm wearing a loose red dress and black sunglasses. Red lipstick compliments my outfit.

Before we enter the hotel, Andrew asked me to remove my sunglasses, but I didn't agree. I need this Andy, please understand. While walking at Hotel's lobby, I heard two girls talking.

"Oops! where's the sun? I can't see it"

"Here! under my nostrils"

They laugh out loud and it made me twitch.

Relax Em, don't let them get on your nerves. I decided to remove my sunglasses and faced the two witches.

"We're looking for Corniché restaurant" I inquired. I raised my one eyebrow.

"At the 12th floor Ma'am. May I know their names?" the girl who's teasing my sunglasses utters.

"Parker, I'm Mrs. Emily Parker"

Their eyes are broaden as if they see a ghost.

"What are your names?" I asked.

"I'm Regine and she's Gretchen" they replied with confusion.

"Alright, Regine and Gretchen, I'll tell the manager of this hotel that you're doing a good job with your gossips"

I put back my sunglasses and we walked out, we proceed to the elevator, leaving the two girls on shock. Somehow, they need to learn how to become courteous towards their guest.

As we enter the restaurant, I saw my in-laws waiting for us on the vip section. The waiter, leads us to our seat, as we're coming closer, my in-laws welcome me with their smile.

"Emily, you look so beautiful" Suzzane said.

I am? really? for real? Is that a sarcasm?

"Andrew, you're wife is such a beautiful mother like your Mum" His Dad said. I blush and so does her wife.

"I told you" Andrew whispers on my ear.

I gained a lot of confidence from them. We talked about my pregnancy, they're very excited to see their grandchildren. They told me about Andy, when he was a little kid. He used to have an imaginary friend. I think that sounds creepy. Andy says, it's just a product of his imaginations since he's the only child of his parents and he doesn't have playmates. I learn a lot of things about Andy. This bonding with my in-laws if far from what I've expected. I forgot about all my frustrations about my appearance.
