The world continued turning and it was the next morning. Candy felt junior move and since she was in Terry's arms, he felt junior's kick too.

- Good morning Junior, said Candy putting her hand on her belly

- Good morning Junior, said Terry putting his hand on Candy's belly

- We have to get up, said Candy getting away from him.

She got out of the bed and ran to the bathroom to pee. Then, she brushed her teeth and she puked the yellow bitter liquid. She decided to take a shower right away. She got out of the bathroom and she found her husband waiting for her, sitting on the bed...

- You could've joined me in the bathroom, she said

- It's fine, he said standing up to go and replace her.

Candy got ready fast and she went downstairs to make breakfast. She made coffee for Terry and she had toast with ginger ale. Terry arrived a few minutes later with wet hair and he smelled like cologne... She made a face...

- Something's wrong? He asked looking at her

- I don't like the scent of your cologne...

- I use it every day...

- You didn't smell like that yesterday...

- Yesterday was my wedding day...

- I'd like you to smell like yesterday everyday...

- You have demands

- You make me want to puke

- That's flattering for a newlywed...

Candy stood up to go puke in the toilet downstairs... She came back to the kitchen with teary red eyes.

- All right, I get it, said Terry going upstairs against his will

He took another shower and took his laptop and went to the living room...

oOoOoOoOoOo

Candy stayed in the kitchen and she did the dishes, put everything away and she went in the living room. All of a sudden, everything hit her at the same time/ she was married to a man who abandoned her on their wedding night. She was united to a man who was ignoring her. She felt far away from her family. She started crying her eyes out. Her mother, she needed her mommy, she missed her more than anything... She put her hand on her belly. It was probably the hormones from her pregnancy, but she couldn't stop crying... Maybe she should go to church. She will go to the evening service.

Terry arrived and found her crying, he panicked. What was going on? Was it the baby? He ran to her...

- Candy? What's going on? Is it the baby?

Candy looked at him; his first thought was for the baby, he didn't care about her! She cried some more against her will. Those damn hormones!

- Candy? Said Terry taking her in his arm, are you all right?

- Terry...

- Is it the baby?

- I...

- What?

- I want my mommy!

Terry looked at her surprised. Her mummy? But where was her mummy?

- Candy, said Terry caressing her hair

- I want my mommy, she said sobbing

Terry didn't know what to do. She wanted her mummy? He needed help... he took his phone and dialled a number.

- Mum?

- Terry? Is everything all right?

- No... can you come over?

- Now?

- Yes, it's an emergency...

- Where are you? In your apartment?

- No, I'm at Candy's... here's the address

- I'm be there as fast as possible

She hung up. Her husband was in bed...

- My Sunday sleep in late?

- My son needs me...

- I need you too my darling... you have to make up for yesterday...

- William Andrew was only provoking you...

- You liked it, didn't you?

- Of course I liked it!

- You biyotch! Come here! He said pulling her towards him.

He kissed her fierily and they made love with passion. Sunday morning, after church, they always indulge in some pleasure. Then Eleonor stood up to go take a shower to go see her son. When she was ready, she said goodbye to her husband...

- I was waiting for you in the shower honey...

- If I had come, you wouldn't have been able to go to our son's

She kissed him on the lips.

- See you later, my love.

- See you later, sweetheart...

She took the car and went to Candy and Terry's.

oOoOoOoOoOo

Meanwhile, Terry lost, called Candy's father for help.

- What's going on?

- She can't stop crying...

- What did you do to her?

- Nothing at all! I came downstairs after my shower and she couldn't stop sobbing... She wants her mummy...

- What?

- Pregnant women have mood swings...

- Very well, I'm coming. Her grand-mother is still at church, I'm going to leave a message for her...

- Thank you, said Terry.

He didn't stop there. He called Archie. Annie answered the phone.

- Terry? What's going on? Is Candy all right?

- No really, she can't stop crying...

- At what time did you come back last night?

- What's that have to do with this?

- Candy is crying the day after her wedding, you left her alone all day! It can only be your fault...

- Is Archie there? Asked Terry.

He understood that he wouldn't get any sympathy from Annie or his behaviour of the day before.

Annie looked at Archie and gave him the phone.

- Terry? What's going on?

- She can't stop crying.

- What did you do? Aside from leaving her alone on her wedding day?

- You're not going to start to?!

- You left your wife alone on her wedding day! I know "She's William Andrew's daughter" and she's also the woman who's carrying your child...

- I called you to have you on my side Archie, not to get scorned!

- Sorry dude, your behaviour yesterday leaves a lot to be desire.

- Are you coming or not?

- I'm coming otherwise Annie is going to be sulking...

- Thanks dude...

The latter hit him on the head with a pillow and she went to the bathroom. He hung up the phone and followed Annie in the bathroom.
