Mikaela awoke with a start. A strange feeling of pain and discomfort in her belly and between her legs.
She threw off her covers to find a brown stain forming on her pajama pants.
"What the hell?" she exclaimed, rushing to her en-suite bathroom.
She sat down, and pulled down her pajama pants.
"OK, this looks bad," she muttered, surveying the thick dark fluid that had soaked through her panties and stained her pants.
She wet a paper towel, and wiped herself clean as best she could.
Changing into fresh clothes, she grabbed her soiled items, and opened her bedroom door.
"Mom! I need some help here!" she called out.
The door of the master bedroom opened, and Annette trudged out.
"It's way too early to be up and about Mikaela," grumbled Annette.
"Yeah, well, I woke up to this," said Mikaela, showing Annette her soiled pajamas.
Annette blinked, and shook her head.
