(Seven months later – two weeks before due date)
"Hey! Oh honey how are you feeling?" Mia's mom asked her.
"Big," was all she could say. It was Mia's baby shower and everyone was there congratulating her and wishing her good luck.
"Quite a party," Nicholas said refering to the large amount of people now seated around a table in the dinning hall.
"Yeah, it's a bit much," Mia said, feeling overwhelmed by the whole party.
"Don't worry, when everyone leaves you can sleep until tomorrow."
"That's quite a while considering its only brunch."
"Yes, but once you convince everyone to leave it will be much later."
"That's very true," Mia said with a smile. They walked to the table and sat down with everyone, waiting for their food to come.

Two and a half hours later, Mia was saying goodbye to the last of her guests.
"Finally." Mia said closing the door.
"What all did the baby get?" Carolina asked.
"Well, a few blankets, and some toys. There wasn't much the baby could get yet, because we don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
"Oh. Well its still nice of everyone to find something."
"Yes it is. Why don't you go find your father and see if he needs help with anything."
"Okay," Carolina said skipping away to go find her dad.
