“Do you still get morning sickness, Ally? You’re three months along, right?” Old Mrs. York asked out of
concern.
Alice, who was sitting nearby, answered, “Yes, it’s been three months. I still get morning sickness about half an hour
after eating. I only feel more comfortable after vomiting. My mom said I might have to deal. with morning sickness
until I give birth.”
Although Alice had terrible morning sickness and felt awful every time she vomited, it did not stop her from loving
the baby in her womb.
She would be able to feel fetal movement after some time..
When Alice hit three months, she went to the hospital for a checkup and ultrasound scan. She saw the doctor’s
report. The doctor said her baby’s fetal movement was ideal.

in her womb.
He would say, “I’ll spank your little butt after you’re out, little one. Look how much you’re torturing your
mother.”
Alice touched her belly.
Grandma May said, “Nothing can be done about morning sickness. Some people do continue having it until they
give birth. I remember Tania vomiting badly when she had Kevin. It carried on until she gave birth. She didn’t have
morning sickness at all when she was pregnant with Zack and Peter. It only happened when she was pregnant with
Kevin.
“Tania even thought her third child would be a daughter because of the different reactions. However, it was still a
son in the end.”
Hearing those words, Alice smiled and said, “I guess I’ll be having morning sickness until my due date
too.”
“Being a mom isn’t easy.”
Grandma May sighed.
“You can’t let yourself go hungry even if you vomit, Ally I think you got thinner. Fetuses require increasingly more

Alice said, “I’ll eat, Grandma May. I do vomit a lot, but I have a good appetite. I crave everything.”

Mrs. Stone nodded. The maid retreated.
“Let’s have our meal first, Old Mrs. York.”
Grandma May did not refuse. She said with a smile, “River and I will be getting a free meal here then.”
Mr. and Mrs. Stone smiled. “You honor us by staying for a meal, Old Mrs. York.”
“Don’t talk about honor. We’re relatives now and will interact with each other a lot. You two must have. lots of free
time as you’re retired and staying home. Do come and visit us often. My sons and daughters–in -law have also
retired. They’re bored at home.
“You’re peers and can get along with each other well. You may invite them whenever there are events.”
Mrs. Stone nodded. “I’ll go over and play poker with them soon. Your three daughters–in–law and I make. up a good
number of players.”
Grandma May grinned. “I haven’t played poker in a long time.“
