Devi woke up early the next morning she had a daily appointment with her
toilet bowl. Morning sickness had gotten the best of her, and what really
pissed her off was the fact that it didn't just happen in the morning, it
happened all the time, like at work or in the mall.
Devi lay with her face against the toilet when tenna walked in. "Devi look!" tenna said lifting up the front of her shirt reviling a silver hoop. "Dear god tenna when did you do that?" Devi poked at the hole in her belly button. "Isn't it the cutest!" she said pulling on the hoop some more. A trickle of puss spewed out of the freshly pierced hole making Devi throw up her remaining contents of her stomach. "Wow that was gross" tenna said pointing at the mess Devi had made.
Devi stood up and walked into her bedroom pulling off her soiled shirt. It was a cold November morning and the skies were gray. Devi pulled a large black sweater over her head and belly. It had grown quite a bit over the last few weeks. "Devi can I touch your tummy?" tenna reached her arm out "go for it" she replied.
Tenna and Devi walked down to the Chinese restaurant down the road from them chatting all the way. "So have you chosen a name yet?" tenna glanced over at her. "Um I was thinking of something like Gabrielle or Epiphany" she looks over at her. "Epiphany? Isn't that like the means of enlightenment or something?" tenna asked. "Yep, it's not like you'll ever meet any one else with that name ya know" she held her belly. Tenna held the door open as a bloated Devi walked through it. Devi had a little trouble fitting into the booth where they were seated.
"Would you ladies like something to drink or are you ready to order?" a small weightier with gray hair asked. "Yeah I want a large plate of pork fried rice, fried noodles, vegetable wontons, beef dumplings and a large coke," Devi said with out even looking at the menu. "Damn, you eat more than my brother" tenna looked at her. "What? I'm eating for two" Devi said. "And for you?" the weightier said looking at tenna. "No I'll share with her." Tenna said. 15 minutes later two waiters came out carrying treys off food as soon as the food hit the table Devi began to pig out on what ever plate was closest to her mouth, never in tenna's life was she so frightened of Devi.
That night Devi was having trouble sleeping she kept having the same odd dream, she was in Johnny's house and the baby was there and her and Johnny stood over its crib looking down at it, everything was so happy so peaceful until Johnny picked her up a big smile crossed his face, almost an evil grimace and he began to walk away and when Devi called his name he did not answer, and then him and the baby were gone.
