Chapter 37

• “You look like you have given up life, Danielle,”
• Keira commented, bringing Dani out of her thoughts. Yeah, she definitely looked that way even in her head. The past three weeks turned out to be the most emotionally exhausting and trying times of her whole life. Over the past three weeks, she has had times more than she could count when she regretted her decision and wished she had waited a little longer to do what she had done. The morning sickness and constant exhaustion did nothing to help her. She was constantly at war with herself to get through each day. To make it even worse, she had the worst case of morning sickness. It went beyond that and she had to even spend a night at the hospital but she couldn’t stay because she didn’t like the hospital. She promised the door that she would take care of herself which was why they let her go.
• Keira has been an absolute angel to her. Even though one month had passed, Dani still didn’t have any plans of leaving Keira’s because she knew if she was left alone, it would be even worse. She did feel bad for how she dumped everything on Keira even though it was all her choice to have a baby. Nothing she had read or learned about pregnancy all through the years had prepared her for the level of mental and emotional stress that she was going through right now. She had to speak to her doctor who had told her to take it easy and it would pass. Dani didn’t see it passing anything time soon. At twelve weeks pregnant, she was already showing even though not all that visible but anyone who looked at her more than once would know that she was with child. She barely left the house these days except on days when Keira dragged her to the salon with her and even at the salon, she always either just spent the day sleeping or reading up about motherhood and everything she needed to know as a new and first-time mom who was having twins.
