mothers experienced. This was a spectacle that the Cedillo family had grown accustomed to.

Every time Mia had a prenatal checkup, she had to make a beeline for the restroom-her bladder always felt like it was about to burst. As soon as her husband Andre finished cleaning up, she would dash off, showing no signs of the typical lethargy some expectant The doctor cautioned, "Andre, pregnant women can be delicate.

Thinking of Mia's recent bout of speed, Andre replied with a blend of helplessness and joy, "Oh, you should see her when she's not pregnant. She's like a gazelle." The doctor simply sighed.

As Mia headed for the restroom, Molly followed closely behind.

"Mia, if you were to enter a 100-meter sprint while pregnant, I bet I wouldn't stand a chance against you."

Mia washed her hands at the sink after emerging from the restroom. "If you were to hold your pee before a 100-meter sprint, Molly, you would be an Olympic champion."

The two girls shared a laugh, arm in arm, as they set off to locate Andre. As they were walking along, a pregnant woman suddenly bumped into Molly. Due to their intertwined arms, the resulting inertia caused Mia to stumble as well, and both of them began to fall. Leo saw the accident from afar and rushed over.
