Week Four

Your embryo splits into two parts this week. One becomes the placenta, which will deliver oxygen and nutrients to your baby, and the other is the growing and developing embryo itself. You'll probably experience breast tenderness around this time, which makes putting a bra on in the morning a chore. You might have a heightened sensitivity to certain smells, too, so be careful about the fragrances you wear and even who you eat lunch next to in the office, because you're more likely to get nauseous from anything too stinky!

Batgirl and Red Hood are working surveillance on the docks. The night has progressed quietly. Too quietly. Jason sighs as he stretches and stands. He slightly prowls to the other side of the roof to smoke a cigarette. Barbara keeps her eyes on the dock, waiting for some sort of suspicious activity to begin. But then the smell of the little cancer stick wafts her way and it makes her queasy.

"Hood," she mumbles.

He quickly tosses the cigarette over the edge of the roof and stalks back to their hiding place.

"'Sup, Batsy?" he asks as he crouches back down.

The stench of smoke clings to his leather jacket, his mask, his breath. It assaults her nostrils and she feels bile begin to rise.

She barely makes it to a quiet corner before she loses her dinner.

"No more chili dogs," she manages to choke out between retches.
