Em wakes up to her alarm going off at 8:45am. She goes to the bathroom and pees before heading to the kitchen. She smells eggs and feels a wave of nausea hit her.

"Babe, are you making eggs?" Em asks, her face turning pale.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" he asks, noticing how sick she looks.

"Yeah, looks like my body doesn't like the smell of eggs anymore. So no more eggs," she replies, trying to not vomit.

He turns off the stove and dumps the half-cooked eggs into the trash. He grabs air freshener and sprays it in the kitchen.

"Better?" he asks.

"Yeah, can I just have some toast and butter with my coffee please?" she asks.

"Sure, baby," he smiles.

He makes them both toast and butter and places it on island. She sits down on the stool and eats her breakfast while he sits beside her and eats his food as well.

"Are you sure Coach is okay with you missing practice today?" she asks.

"Yes, I can skate tomorrow before morning skate. He knows your appointment is more important," he explains.

"Oh okay, good. I would hate to have to be at the appointment by myself," she smiles.

"And I would hate it even more if I had to leave you alone and not be there to see and hear our little nugget," he assures her.

"I love you," she smiles.

"I love you more," he adds, kissing her forehead.

They finish eating before going to the kitchen to dump their dishes in the sink. They go to the room and grab their towels before hitting the bathroom. They shower together to save time and of course, help wash each other. After showering and drying each other off, they go to their room to change. Em changes into lululemon leggings, a knitted sweater, and UGG boots. Pasta changes into a Boston Celtics sweatshirt, joggers, and Jordans. They put on their coats and hats before grabbing their things. They then leave the condo and head downstairs.

They leave the building and head to the parking garage. They get inside Em's Honda Civic and Pasta slides into the passenger seat. Em turns on the engine and connects her phone. The song I See You by WNDR x Taliwhoah. Em sings along to the pop banger as they make their way through the streets of Boston. After 10 minutes, they arrive at the clinic. They park in a nearby garage and walk the several blocks to the clinic. They get inside and head to the reception desk.

"Hello, name please?" the lady asks.

"Emely Rodríguez. My appointment is for 10:15am," Em replies.

The lady types away om her computer. "Alright, Ms. Rodriguez, you're all set. You can sit and wait for your name to be called," she informs her.

Em thanks her before walking to a open seat with Pasta. He sits in the seat beside her and they take out their phones right away. She sends a text to her family group chat on Whatsapp.
