Chapter 222
[Three Months Later]
The afternoon sun poured into the restaurant, casting a golden glow over the cozy booth where Evelyn, Rayna, and Maya sat.
The three of them had grown even closer since after the wedding, and now, with the help of Derek's parents, Maya had gotten into a prestigious university right there in Ludus and was studying Psychology. Every Friday afternoon, the ladies hung out during lunch to take a break from their busy schedules and to catch up on each other's lives.
Evelyn adjusted the waistband of her maternity jeans, her blouse flowing loosely over her slightly rounded belly. She smiled as she patted her belly when she felt the subtle movements of the tiny life growing inside her. Seated across from Evelyn, Rayna and Maya exchanged a look when they noticed how well Evelyn was eating now, unlike the other times they had met. They also didn't miss the smile on her face as she patted her abdomen.
Their meals forgotten, Rayna leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, tell us, mama-to-be," Rayna said, a teasing grin on her face. "How is it going this week? You are glowing today."
"Yeah. I noticed, too. Are you feeling better now?" Maya asked before Evelyn could respond.
Evelyn's smile widened. "Oh, I feel so much better," Evelyn said with a relieved laugh. "The first trimester and early second trimester were a nightmare. I couldn't even keep anything down.
Poor Derek had to deal with me crying over toast at least twice.
But over the past two days, it's like a switch flipped. I have energy again, and food no longer feels like my enemy."
Rayna laughed. "Crying over toast? I need that story."
Evelyn rolled her eyes, chuckling. "It was earlier this week when I woke up in the middle of the night starving but couldn't stomach anything. Derek made me toast, and I started bawling because it smelled 'too crispy.' He just stood there holding the plate, looking so confused. I think he was even scared to breathe wrong."
"Too crispy?" Maya asked, laughing out loud.
"Don't even ask me what that means, but trust me, it's a thing," Evelyn said, and Rayna snorted, covering her mouth.
"Poor Derek. He's a trooper," Rayna said, shaking her head with an amused smile.
"Oh, he is""" Evelyn agreed, her voice softening. "He's been so amazing. I don't know what I'd do without him."
