"Congratulations."

"Time to dig in!" Yuri tugged Brittany into the dining room, his voice ringing with the warmth of family.

Yuri had the kitchen whip up Brittany's favorites: sweet and sour pork ribs, a hearty chicken soup that could warm the soul on any given Sunday, and a heaping plate of her beloved sweet and sour fish. Saskia's morning sickness wasn't done with her yet. The tangy scent made her stomach churn.

"Blech..." Clamping her hand over her mouth, Saskia rushed to the bathroom.

Gabriel was quick on his heels. "Saskia!"

Brittany didn't expect such a strong reaction. "Dad, maybe we should switch to some lighter dishes?" "No need. I'll have the kitchen prepare something lighter. You enjoy your meal."

After finally being discharged from the hospital, she should eat the meals she had been longing for. Brittany had been on a bland diet lately, but the sight of those pork ribs was too much to resist. She grabbed her fork and knife and served Yuri a piece of fish. "Dad, you have to try this."

"Sure thing."
