Had Abby really lamented the fact that she hadn't been here for Katie's first pregnancy? Because she was about to go crazy from all of the mood swings.
As the Madam Clan Leader she spent most of the day socializing with people. That made her very grumpy. She complained about all of their complaints constantly.
"A sick chicken? How am I supposed to know what to do about that; do I look like a vet?! Why do they always expect me to fix things I don't know how to fix?" Katie whined. "Nobles don't have to deal with this when they're pregnant. No, they get to lie in bed THE ENTIRE TIME."
"Wouldn't you hate that though?" Abby pointed out. "Since there's no TV and novels here are lame."
Katie startled her by bursting into tears. "You're right. I should be lying on the couch with a bunch of pillows and my Lord of the Rings extended edition DVDs and a big bag of potato chips but I can't."
