Mira's pov;
It was night and I was in my room when I heard Xandra crying,she was so loud which was unusual.
Even if she missed Max,she made sure not to let us see or hear her crying. But this time,she was crying so loudly, I got scared. I rushed to her room and I saw her crying while Nelson comforted her.
" Xandra,are you ok?".
" Mummy, I miss Mummy, I miss Max". She wailed.
It was unusual for her to behave like that, even when they just died.
" Is that really why you are crying so much?".
" No". I thought as much.
" Then,why, what's wrong?".
" I want to eat sandwich but there's none in the kitchen". She wailed even louder.
' what,is she pulling my legs right now,is she messing with me? But it doesn't look like it though'.
" Is that why you are crying, really?".
" Un, I can't find any sandwich, I'm so frustrated". She sniffled.
' could it be... pregnancy syndrome. That must be it. She's craving sandwich. But it's so...'.
" Don't cry anymore, I'll make an order now, you'll get your sandwich soon ok? There are still some places open 24/7". I patted her.
" She said she doesn't want to order. She wants an home made sandwich". Nelson replied.
I looked at her and she nodded meekly.
" Alright, alright, that's easy. I can make you sandwich". I chuckled wearily.
" Un".
" Don't cry anymore,ok?".
" Un".
I went to kitchen and I didn't even knew what to do. I had to download a menu online and the waste bin was almost full before I could make a edible one.
I was so happy when I succeeded. I took it to her room.
" Surprise ,see what I brought you". I smiled at her.
" Your precious home made sandwich". I gave it to her.
After taking a bite," it's so smelly,it makes me nauseous. I want a ice cream instead".
I glared at her," you could have said that earlier, there are lots of them in the fridge". I said as I stormed away to get her one.
' so frustrating, I can't believe I spent half the night making sandwich only for her to say she wants ice cream instead'.
It's not like I blame her though, I knew it was the baby.
' it had better be a cute baby girl giving me all this trouble'.

Grrn grrn
' who could it be?'. I thought as I went to answer the door. It was Alex, I was not even surprised considering how he monitors me this day.
" Alex,come on in". I ushered him in.
" How do you feel today?". He asked after settling down on the sofa opposite me.
" Honestly, I feel guilty".
" Why,what happened?".
" Last night, I didn't know what happened. I swear I was really craving a home made sandwich but just after I saw it, I didn't want it anymore. I even felt like puking. Mira spent so much time on it, I don't even know how to face her".
" Is that why you didn't come to work today?".
I didn't want to face her so when she came to my door this morning, I said I wasn't going to work and she shouldn't wait for me so she left with Nelson.
" I,yes". I covered my face embarrassed.
" It's understandable". He nodded.
I peeked at him through my hands," really?".
" Un,do you want to go out? It could help you, you know".
" You want to take me out?". I asked surprised.
" I,no, I want to follow you out. It's different, right?".
" Is it?".
" Whatever, do you want to go or not?".
" Of course, of course".

We went on a picnic. Then we went sightseeing after which we went to a restaurant for an early dinner. I already called Mira and told her so she wouldn't worry.
" I really enjoyed myself today". I said as we were on our ride home.
" I'm glad you did". After that,no one talked until he spoke again.
" You know, your uhm, your tummy, it's growing". He said looking outside the window.
I was confused," what".
" I mean, although it's not so obvious yet, it'll start to be obvious very soon. When do you plan to tell Mrs. Morgan?".
" What, tell her? Oh yes, I should tell her. I'll tell her, don't worry, I will, myself".
" You should".
" Yes, I should, I will".
