Okay, here's the second-in-a-row chapter I promised y'all last time. I'm trying to post these before I have to get onto my Geometry homework, but I'll work on getting them up in a sec, after I finish typing the author's notes. Thanks to everyone for reviewing, and once again, Happy 20th Anniversary to my mom and dad!
WARNING: See chapter 1.
WARNING 2: This chapter contains mentions of puking and some awkward conversations. If you do not wish to read about Rosette talking to Shader, then I suggest you skip over this chapter.
Disclaimer: See chapter 1 or chapter 5.

Past, Eden, Rosette
I pulled myself up from the rim of the toilet for the third time that morning, cursing whatever I could think of. For the past several days, I'd been getting morning sickness, though I couldn't think of why…
'Wait a second… morning sickness?' I thought frantically. 'Could I be… no way! That can't be a possibility!' When I was sure I wasn't going to puke again, I dressed as fast as I could and ran as if Satan himself was at my heels towards Shader's lab. Just as I opened the door, someone walked out, slamming into me and sending both of us crashing to the floor. I groaned, rubbing my bum, until a very familiar hand reached down to hover in front of my face.
"Sorry, Rosette. Are you okay?" Chrono asked. Startled, I looked up at him, and took his hand, laughing nervously.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I, uh, just need to talk to Shader for a few minutes, okay?" I said. "Alone." He gave me a concerned look, but nodded hesitantly, anyway.
"Okay… Hey, could you meet me when you're done? I'll wait for you by the North Pond." he said. I nodded.
"Sure, now out." Dodging around him, I shoved him into the hallway and shut the door, ignoring his cry of protest at the rough treatment, and turned to Shader. She was blinking at me in curiosity as I came over to her.
"Rosette? Is something wrong?" she asked me, concerned. I nodded, frantic.
"Yes, something is very wrong." I answered. "If you have the time, I need you to help me run some tests." She blinked.
"What kind of tests? What for?" I fidgeted nervously.
"Um, Shader?"
"Yes?"
"Are you familiar with any of the human hormones that indicate pregnancy?"
Ooh, a cliffie! Is Rosette going to be a mom, or not? (cackles insanely) Find out on the next installment of Return to Times of Yore! And please, leave a review! (imitates Son puppy-dog look… of DOOM!)
