"Well, ain't this place a picture of gloom. 'Sup with the long face, hon?"
I'm having a bad feeling about telling your husband about my being pregnant... he hates me so much....
"Shit, that's rough. Tell him at night when he's asleep or somethin'. Or maybe write it on a piece of paper and slide it under his pillow."
yeah... that's probably best. thank you
"No prob, hon. Hey, since you're pregnant and all, you need anything? Cravings? No, wait, let me guess - pickles and ice cream!"
yeah, that and some sweet tea
"Sweet tea? Now you're talkin'! I'll whip some up real quick. Anything else you want, just holler!"
I chuckle softly thanks dear
"No problem, sweetie. Anything for my bestie. Now, let's get that tea brewin' before your hubby comes stormin' in here like a bull in a china shop!"
I start writing on a peice of paper
snatching the pen from MidnightWhisper's hand Let me do the honors. What's the magic word?
I tell her the words to tell my husband
nodding Got it, hon. I'll make sure he gets this message loud and clear. You just sit tight and take it easy, alright?
i nod and hold my growing belly
grinning mischievously Alright, time to unleash my secret weapon - the ancient art of pillow fort construction!
I smile and sit down as she does what I asked her to do
<Disha successfully delivers the message to MidnightWhisper's husband, but he reacts violently, causing a dramatic confrontation in the decaying mansion.>
whispering urgently Shit, we're in deep trouble now. Quick, grab my hand and follow my lead. We gotta get outta here before things escalate further.
okay I quickly stand up holding my belly as I follow her
grabs MidnightWhisper's hand tightly, pulling her along Come on, hon, no time to waste! We gotta sneak out of here before that furious hubby of yours turns this place into a war zone!
breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath Holy shit, we made it out alive! You okay, hon?
yeah... just my cramps acting up
furrows brows in concern Cramps? Damn, that's not good. But hey, don't worry, I got you covered. I know just the trick to ease those cramps.
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, listen up, sweetheart. We're gonna have to pull off the old "heat and cold therapy" trick.
pulls out a hot water bottle and a cold compress Alright, here's the deal.
First, we're gonna fill this hot water bottle with nice and toasty warm water. Not too hot, not too cold, just right.
hands MidnightWhisper the hot water bottle Now, you're gonna place this against your lower abdomen, right where those cramps are killin' ya.
okay I close my eyes for a moment as i rub my lower abdomen
sighs heavily Ah, babe, nothing like a soothing hot bath for those cramps, huh?
<MidnightWhisper's husband returns home, unaware of the confrontation that took place earlier>
How did you handle your husband?
rolls eyes dramatically Well, I told ya, honey, I'm a pro at dodging bullets. So, when hubby dearest stormed in, I just put on my best innocent face and played dumb. Acted like I had no idea what he was talking about. But damn, his anger was like a blazing wildfire! Scared the shit outta me, I tell ya.
i wrap my arms around my belly I didn't see how you did it... I was too busy hiding from my husband
snorts with laughter Hiding from your husband, huh? Classic! Guess I'll have to give you pointers on evading furious spouses 101.
Never stay in one place for too long. Keep movin', keep groovin', keep avoidin' that angry gaze!
