It was early morning the next day when Persephone was woken up by the bout of morning sickness. She puked all the chocolates she ate last night in the toilet. And she was feeling bad for wasting all the delicious food. If she could, she would have cried out. But poor her wasn't even allowed to cry.
It was hardly five o'clock and she was so hungry that she could eat a whole pig right now.
No, it wasn't just her who was hungry. The baby was asking for food. After all, she just threw up what she ate yesterday. Obviously, she would be hungry now.
Pregnancy is a weird experience. One moment she was puking. The other moment she was starving.
She lay on the bed and closed her eyes while waiting for sleep to come. But the tiny baby in her belly was asking for food.
In frustration, she threw the duvet and went out of the bed.
