Joseph was on a business trip, and Jaylene usually stayed at her parents' house. On Saturdays and Sundays, she didn't feel like going to the Thompson Manor alone, and besides, she might not be particularly welcome on her own.

"You're pregnant, so instead of staying at home and taking care of yourself, you're actually going shopping?" Jaylene teased Alisha: "Isn't it said that pregnant women should stay at home and nurture their babies?"
"Nonsense, only those with sensitive pregnancies stay at home." Alisha gently patted her belly, saying: "My baby is very strong, even a fall won't harm it, let alone going shopping. What nurturing? I'm so bored being alone at home, I can't wait to go out for a walk to relax."
