Four months had already passed and Mia was already enjoying her time since she came here.
"Grandma, please make a chocolate cake," she requested, making the old woman nod.
"Miss, I have made it and you already tasted it. How can you forget? Also, Clara is coming tomorrow. Don't worry," the sweet grandma said as Mia smiled awkwardly, knowing that she is forgetting everything nowadays. "Please take rest. I will handle everything."
Mia nodded as an adorable child and went into her room.

In the study room, Clara was reading a book carefully.
An old man entered into her room and looked at Clara who was reading carefully as each word of that book can save a life. He snatched the book and read the title 'Tips for Pregnant Women'.
Clara said in an irritated voice, "Dad, return my book!"
"Really, if you have read your MBA books as seriously as you are reading this then our company has become the world's most powerful company! I can't even imagine the turnover, but look at you"
"I was the top student," Clara said calmly and her face was looking like a child whose ice cream got dropped just after buying it.
Her father started laughing as he returned the book and asked, "So, you are going?"
"Hmm… tonight," Clara answered.
"Take good care of my princess and call me daily."
"Okay!" Clara smiled brightly and hugged her dad. "Thank you, dad! For controlling that old dog."
"It's okay. By the way, I had to clear my old accounts with him."
"Hmmm."

The next day, Clara entered into an old house feeling super excited. Her green eyes were shining and she was looking like a child who was running towards her dad who just came home after years.
Clara looked at Mia who was standing and was looking at the small plant.
She slowly started going towards her as she was walking on her toes so that she can surprise Mia.
From the back, Mia was looking like a sexy lady without fat, and when Clara jumped in front of her like a child.
Mia shouted, "Ah!" due to the sudden arrival of someone.
Noticing who it was, Mia sighed then spoke. "Gosh, Clara! I missed you!"
They were about to hug each other when a huge watermelon sized tummy came in between.
Clara looked at the stomach of Mia which was looking like a huge watermelon. She stared at it for seconds and then started touching it with a finger and said, "This is..."
Mia smiled awkwardly in front of her and said, "Yes… this is my creative stomach."
Clara blinked her eyes multiple times and she was still looking at her stomach and then she smiled super awkwardly and said, "I am hungry."
Hearing this, grandma shouted from the kitchen and said, "All of your favorite dishes are ready!"
Then they all started laughing as Clara kissed the cheek of Mia and said, "I missed you!"

Mia and Clara were eating and grandma was standing there, Mia asked her to sit but grandma denied as she always does.
Mia said with a smile," this food is best… Grandma, you are my favorite chef"
Clara who was sitting there with a blank face said, "hmmm"
After some time Mia put her hand on her mouth and started throwing up.
Clara was looking at her and three imaginary black dots came on her head and then she looked at grandma.
Grandma looked at it then smiled with a smile. "It happens in pregnancy."

Mia and Clara were watching a movie while sitting and the bowl of popcorn was on the watermelon-sized stomach of Mia.
Clara was just sitting there and was watching the movie while Mia was laughing loudly. Even on the action scenes, she was laughing.
Then suddenly she started crying on the funny scene.
Clara looked at her and touched her stomach and asked, "Is it hurting?"
Mia continued crying.
Now Mia was crying loudly and this makes Clara feel concerned.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Mia spoke while crying. "It's not hurting! Look at the scene, how loving they are. That makes me cry."
"What?!" Clara shouted, slightly surprising the woman beside her.
Suddenly, Mia stopped crying and this silence made Clara tense.
"Are you fine?"
"I want to go washroom."
"Oh."
Mia tried to stand up but she was not able to stand. She pushed herself up but her efforts were in vain. She was looking like a fat panda who was not able to stand due to her fat tummy.
Clara helped her in standing and in the end, Mia got up.
She started running slowly towards the washroom. She was looking like a cute fat dog who was running.
Clara shouted to remind her friend. "Hey, wear slippers!"
Mia looked at her feet but she was not able to look at anything except for the watermelon stomach then she said, "Leave them!"
Clara was looking at her with a blank expression as she was looking at a completely different person who was laughing and crying without any reason. She then started cursing the person who made her pregnant.
*****
Mia and Clara were sitting in front of the dining table and of course, Mia was still acting weird.
Mia was looking at her sonography happily as these black and white images are photos of a handsome guy.
She gives one photo to Clara and said, "Look how cute my baby is!"
Clara looked at the black and white photo and she was not able to see any cute baby in that.
She looked at Mia who was looking at her with a bright smile and was waiting for an expectant answer. Clara bit her lower lip and said, "Very cute… exactly like you!"
Mia started crying. Clara looked at her worriedly as Clara's face was looking like a child who wouldn't know her mistake and she started crying without tears.
Clara furrowed her brows, not understanding why she was crying. "What's wrong," she asked.
Mia answered while still crying. "My child… my child looks like me. I am very happy!"
Clara put her hand on her face as she was showing her white flag.
She said to herself, "Why have I come here? Somebody save me from this annoying zombie!"
