Nesting

Alyssa Long Sindacco grunted as she pushed open her parent's apartment door, she was nine months pregnant and she was getting a little edgy. She had yelled at some poor kid that had bumped into her on the way up. The mother of that kid took it surprisingly well. Maybe she remembered what it was like to have a pot roast growing inside of her uterus. Throwing her purse and keys on the rack with the rest of her family's things, she sighed and walked deeper into the apartment and right to the kitchen. There stood her mother, pouring coffee into the coffee maker and talking into the phone.

"One day off in six months and this is how you start it out," Rose laughed silently to the person she was on the phone with, "Just talk to Curtis, he should be able to work it out, I'll take a look at it myself tomorrow, bye."

Hanging up her phone, Rose turned and jumped back slightly at the sight of her very pregnant daughter, "How's being pregnant kid, better this time?"

"Well Bitch," Alyssa spat as she sat down at the table, "When I went to get up on the sidewalk, it took me two tries and I swear that if I could do a backbend right now, I'd be the fattest camel that has ever existed."

Rose smiled, "Gotten over that really horny phase of pregnancy?"

"About six months ago," Alyssa responded tersely, "When I was when my first trimester, I dumped the kids with Erin half the time and spent most of those three months having sex. Johnny was hospitalized with dehydration one weekend. I have to force myself to have sex with him now, I feel so damn repulsive, I'm slowly turning into a whale, I'm waddling Mother..."

Rose broke out into a lengthy chuckle, "You forget little girl, I've been where you are six times, I know what being pregnant feels like, and FYI, you're being the bitch in this situation, just because you're getting ever fatter."

Alyssa looked floored and then she leaned back in the chair and Rose rolled her eyes when her daughter's eyes began to water, "That was mean!"

"Oh shut it, you know I'm kidding," Rose mused, "Not about getting fat though."
