The news of my pregnancy had brought a wave of joy and excitement to the palace. From that day on, my life changed in ways I could never have imagined.
The first few months of my pregnancy were relatively smooth. I experienced the usual morning sickness, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Zephara was incredibly supportive, always by my side, and making sure I had everything I needed. Our days were filled with laughter and love as we prepared for the arrival of our baby.
One morning, a few weeks into my second trimester, I woke up feeling unusually tired. I tried to shake off the fatigue, but it lingered throughout the day. I was in the middle of teaching a cooking class when I felt a sudden wave of dizziness.
"Leora, are you okay?" one of my students asked, her eyes wide with concern.
I nodded, taking a deep breath. "I'm fine. Just a little tired."
