Hey there ya'll... sorry its been soo long.. been lacking in inspiration... well here it is..

The word "Pregnant" had been instilled in her mind-set.

She could hear baby cries and cooing all over her restaurant this evening. They were louder and more clear and in larger numbers than usual. Getting lost in work to forget about it was almost impossible. After kicking out the other chefs, the dark skinned beauty diced some carrots up, she found herself seeing small bottles and other infant items from the shapes. Throwing a rattle-shaped piece far she stood there breathing hard clutching her head hard.

Feeling another wave of nausea coming on, she stood over the sink. Gripping the sides of it in desperation. Once done relieving the symptom she took a handful of cool water and splashed her face. Letting the droplets run down her nose and land with a small splash into the soapy sauce pan below her.

"Why..."

Met with no answer to the question by the silence surrounding her, she began to think back. Over the many years ;having a baby being the furthest thing from her mind as well as marriage. No, that was always her mothers dream. Nagging about she never was making anytime to find husband so she couldn't give her mother the grandchildrenshe so desired. Sometimes Tiana cursed being an only child. Sure she always had her mother and father all to herself, but that was the issue. It seemed after James passing, Eudora was dead-set upon Tiana's future. Not the restaurant, but to match up her daughter with someone so she wouldn't end up all alone. In fact if it hadn't been for Naveen becoming a frog and herself as well, Tiana may have never fallen in love.

Turning slowly around she could spy from the small porthole-like windows on the kitchen doors. It was just how she and her father had envisioned. Well, maybe the theme wasn't exactlywhat they had dreamed up, but still. The joint was filled with people from every walk of life. Black, white, rich, and poor. Everyone just relaxing and eating her well thought out and delicious dishes. On a regular day they had a line clear around the block to get in. She had done it, she was a successful restaurant owner. Looking a bit to the left she could see bodies swaying to the tune of Louis's trumpet and Naveen on his ukulele. She was happy she could incorporate his love for music into his job.

Smiling she pulled back from the view, this was her dream and it was thriving. It was what she had always wanted, but-

"Is it what you need?"

Haha, I'm like that yeah.. cliff hanger.. review please.. help to inspire me.. lol
