chapter 44

Sophia Parker

I felt like I was carrying a weight on my chest. And I didn't mean that figuratively... I meant it literally.

The pregnancy symptoms we're getting a whole lot worse and I didn't feel in control of my body anymore.

"Why are you hunching? That's not good for your spine." Lily said as she rummaged through her fridge.

I was in her apartment and it was quite early in the morning. She was just about to go to work. As for me, I was going to my former workplace later in the day. I only came to see her before she left and also to give her a heads up about my plans for today.

"I can't help it. My boobs feel heavy."

"Does it hurt?" She asked.

"Yes, but it's not unbearable. I just can't sit upright. I'll feel too exposed."

"It's because they're larger now." She laughed as she poured herself some milk into a bowl.

Milk... Very soon I'll be a mother and I'd be breastfeeding.

"Oh god." I groaned.

"Why are you here by the way? I'm leaving soon, right after I finish this bowl of cereal."
