Serenity woke up in her childhood bedroom, the familiar walls surrounding her like a warm embrace. But the comfort was quickly overshadowed by a wave of morning sickness, forcing her out of bed.

Valerie knocked on the door, concern evident in her voice.

“Serenity? Are you alright?”

Hearing movement inside, she didn’t wait for a response and stepped in. The bed was empty, but the sound of retching led her to the bathroom.

Serenity was on her knees, hunched over the toilet.

Valerie’s heart clenched.

Her baby girl—the child she had once held in her arms, the one who had looked up at her with wide, innocent eyes -was now going through the same journey she once had.

A mix of nostalgia and bittersweet emotion filled her chest.

She wasn’t ready to see Serenity become a mother.

Not yet.

“Sweetheart, just breathe…” Valerie murmured, quickly moving to hold back her daughter’s hair.

Serenity groaned. “God, this is awful… Maybe my baby misses their dad already.”

“Why would you say that?”

“Because when Alden and I are together, he’s the one who gets all the nausea. I never felt this bad before… And God, it’s horrible!”

Valerie chuckled softly. “It’s all part of pregnancy, honey. Your body is adjusting to so many changes. But come on, let’s get you cleaned up. I’ll make you some warm milk to settle your stomach. Or would you rather have some fruit?”

“Fruit, please. I don’t think I can handle milk right now.”

“Alright, sweetheart. John is still sound asleep. Poor thing hasn’t adjusted to being back home yet. One minute he says he misses the beach, and the next, he’s talking about how much he loved seeing the city from the sky. That boy has had more adventures than I ever have.”

Valerie spoke lightly, trying to lift Serenity’s mood.
