Well here it is as promised the second chapter I told you I would post today since I will be gone for a week an unable to post anything until I get back. As for the title of this chapter I'm not sure about it. If anyone has any suggestions for a better chapter title I'd love to hear it. Also the countdown to the baby's due date begins with only 4 more chapters to go so that's about a month and one week people. Were in the home stretch of part one to this three part story.

Chapter 16: Molly's Feet
27 weeks since Sherlock's fake death and 24 weeks pregnant
Molly had really never spent much time paying attention to her feet. She washed, and clipped the nails and that was pretty much it, but she never really studied them. The way they were shaped or how the line's formed along them in their individual way that set them off from everyone else's pair of feet. She might occasionally pay a little more attention to them when she came home after a hard day of work tired.
Early in her life she had looked at them daily for a few weeks, after that fungal affection she had gotten when she was in the 6th grade and then the cyst from when she had forgotten to bring a pair of sneakers on that weekend trip to her friend's graduation and was stuck in dress shoes all day for two days straight.
She also didn't really care much about how they looked either; they were just part of her body, and a mode from getting from place to place. Plus they were covered up most of the times by socks or shoes and when men occasionally glanced her way, Molly doubted that her feet were the first part they noticed.
But, other than that Molly's feet remained out of her concern, until the day they began to swell to two times their natural size. That was when Molly became more interested in her feet. She went to the doctors because she was concerned about the swelling, who told her it was due to the increase of body fluids that were meant to nurture her and her baby during pregnancy, and that it would go away after she gave birth to her baby. Her doctor also was helpful in providing her some ways to deal with the swelling and to call her if it got worse.
So for the last couple weeks of pregnancy, Molly paid way more attention to her feet then she ever would have dreamed of, she just wished that at the end of the day Sherlock was there to massage them.
Well that's all for now my fellow readers, writers, editors, followers, guest, favorites, and anyone else who is reading this. The event with the shoes is inspired by something that actually happened to me and while I was going to a graduation. Because I wore my dressy outfit on the road trip to the actual graduation I forgot to pack my sneakers in a bag for later as we were leaving. Two days walking around in improper footwear, let me tell you its not fun.
