Strange occurance

ALICIA’S P.O.V

No man could ever understand the pains of having a child in the womb. No man understands the feeling of having another person feeding and moving inside you. This is my first time to experience it and even worse is that it’s not just a normal child.

Sometimes I wish that my mother were here, I wish she was here to show me how she was able to pass through these hard times without breaking down. Nine months is a long period but will I be able to bear this pain for that long?

My throat feels sour each passing day; my bed is now my favourite companion. Who could deliver me from this unexplainable pain I feel inside? I and Marcus promised each other that we were going to go through the pains of our union together but that was not totally true. There are some times in our lives that we were going to travel alone. This was that time.

Every time I think about giving up my words of comfort was that I will have to go through this once and finally it will be over. Just nine months,
