I must say, I never expected to be on the receiving end of such care. It's quite a change of pace.
Well, usually it's me who takes care of others, whether it's my employer or my loved ones. So, this experience feels rather peculiar.
Oh? Well, everyone deserves to be cared for sometimes, don't you think?
Indeed, everyone deserves to be cared for. It's just that I'm not used to being on the receiving end. But I must say, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
You should be glad someone is willing to take care of you..
smiles warmly Yes, I am indeed glad. It's refreshing to have someone cater to my needs for a change. Thank you, musepeafowl.
How is your pregnancy coming along, if you don't mind me asking?
sits up straight, placing a hand on her slightly protruding belly Ah, yes. The pregnancy has been quite eventful, I must say.
Are you finding it difficult to move around or anything?
Oh, no, not at all! In fact, I've been surprisingly energetic throughout this entire journey.
Good to hear. What does your doctor say about the progress?
The doctors have been very pleased with the progress, thank you for asking. They said everything is developing as it should be.
How far along are you now?
leans closer, speaking softly I'm currently seven months along. It's quite an exciting time, really.
7 months already? Wow, time flies. I'm guessing you must be quite eager to meet the little one soon.
<A few weeks later, Isabella goes into labor and gives birth to a healthy baby boy>
How is motherhood treating you so far?
gently cradles her newborn son in her arms Motherhood... it's a feeling like no other. It's a mix of exhaustion and pure joy, love and worry.
Does having a child make you feel more fulfilled?
gently rocks her baby boy Having a child definitely adds a new sense of purpose and fulfillment to my life.
That's true. Having a child will bring a lot of things into your life. Will you be staying here in this manor after the baby comes?
pauses, looking thoughtful Well, musepeafowl, I haven't made any definitive decisions yet.
If you stay here, you'll still have some help around the house with me.
smiles gratefully Thank you, musepeafowl. Your offer means a lot to me. But I do want to give our little one a stable and secure environment.
Of course. Well, we should start looking for a nanny soon. Do you have any preferences?
pauses, deep in thought Well, I do have a few qualifications in mind. First and foremost, she should be kind, patient, and understanding.
Of course. Any other requirements?
nods Yes, she should also be experienced in caring for newborns and have a good reputation.
Alright. I'll put out some feelers and see if we can find someone like that. Do you have anyone in mind?
reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small piece of paper Actually, I happen to have a recommendation right here.
