Two and a half months have gone by since the day of the party. Meetings where held, matters where discussed, nothing was solved, and so on. Vlad have gone to most of the meetings for a month, then have skipped some of them, and stopped coming eventually. When asked on the phone about his absences, he responded that he was sick and that he won`t be able to come to the meetings until his economy problems are solved (that`s from where he thinks his sickness has formed). He had asked Bulgaria if he could take notes for him as well and send them to him via fax, and the other had agreed to do that.

Now Romania was in bed at home, curled up under a blanket with a pile of bags on his nightstand in case of emergency. For a few weeks he kept throwing up in the mornings, sometimes even in the evenings. He ran to the toilet a couple of times but he began to feel too weak to get out of bed and resorted to paper bags instead.

At first he had thought that he had some kind of stomach sickness. He had performed a spell to analyse all his body parts and see if that was the case. While the spell was being read from the book, a bit of yellow smoke that magically appeared was encircling him from head to toe. If there was any problem with his body function, the smoke would take one of the forms described in the book and he could find out what was wrong. But after the spell was completed the smoke just dissapeared, meaning that he was completely healthy. Must be my economy going low, maybe that`s why I`m sick; so I will just have to wait for it to pass, he had thought. But even now, as he lay in bed, he was thinking that there must be something that he overlooked, because his economy can`t be that bad; he has had many difficult times in his life as a nation, some worse than others, and what his country is going through now can`t compare to the times of war and despair. Sure, he couldn`t say that the country was doing great comparing it to others, but this sickness is too serious to be just of economical matter. But he would contemplate this later, he felt too drowsy at the moment.

His eyelids felt heavy and he closed his eyes. Before getting to sleep, he heard a `meow` coming from another room. He ignored it for a moment, but when the sound came again he figured that his cat Perla was probably hungry. Knowing that he has no choise but to get out of bed (unless he wants his pet to die of starvation, which he doesn`t), he slowly lifts himself up and goes to the kitchen. He turns on the light, finds the bag of cat food in a cabinet and puts some in his pet`s bowl on the floor.

"Perla! You can come out and eat now!" Vlad called out. The cat kept mewning but it sounded a little stuffy.

Romania has found the white cat a while ago abandoned in a park and has taken her home. She is very curious and likes to explore the house and most of the times Vlad has to search very hard to find her. But now he wasn`t in the mood to play hide and seek. He called again to see if she would come out and when that didn`t happen he cast a spell to help him find her. This spell makes a small light appear for a few seconds around any living creature within reach, from worms to mammals. Not seeing any light in the kitchen to suggest that the cat is there, he goes into the living room and casts the spell again. This room wasn`t illuminated and he easily spotted the cat on top of the shelves. Perla can climb very well, but she doesn`t know how to get down most of the times. Vlad reaches for the cat and puts it down and that`s when he realizes that his belly was glowing as well before the light disappears. He stares at it dumbly for a few minutes, then thinks that this is happening because there must be an insect on his clothes. He shakes them a bit and does the spell to see if the insect has left, but the light appears again. Vlad raises his sweater and looks at the glowing skin from around the navel. Maybe I have helminths? I haven`t had those since childhood. But if that is so, why haven`t I found out when I`ve done that spell to analyse my body? Strange, Romania thinks. He does another spell just to make sure, this one especially to find out if he has any parasites, and he finds… Nothing. So any kind of parasite living in his body is out of the question then. And that still doesn`t explain why his belly was glowing earlier. He begins to worry little by little.

He returns to the kitchen where Perla was happily eating her food and sits on a chair. He puts his head in his hands and tries to calm down, thinking what could this mean. Vlad gives up after a while and returns to the bedroom, crawling in his bed under the blanket. He manages to sleep for an hour before waking up quickly to reach for one of the paper bags on the nightstand. After vomiting for the second time that day, Romania throws the filled bag in the trash can and gets out of bed, going towards the bathroom. He goes to the sink and opens the tap for cold water. He splashes some water on his face and let`s it dry before raising his head to look in the mirror. His face was pale, there where dark circles under his eyes and his hair was a mess. All in all, he looked terrible. Is this similar to what women are going through during pregnancy? If that is so, I sympathize with them.

His blood suddently runs cold after finishing his thoughts. He puts two and two together and leans against the wall for support as his knees goes numb and he slowly slips to the floor, the sudden realisation making his head spin. Even if it seems impossible, this could be the only explanation for what is happening to him, and it all started from that night with Bulgaria at America`s party…

He is pregnant.
