A Genuine Smile

"Something is twisting in my stomach."

Xiu's hands that were rubbing cocoa butter moisturizer on her body stopped right above her stomach. She could feel something twisting inside and usually, she would mistake it as having gas but now, she had been told by the doctor that the baby was growing and was starting to twist, turn, and kick in the womb.

She was after all in her 21st week of the pregnancy now. And these movements were becoming obvious. And along with these movements, something else was becoming obvious; her growing stomach. Now that she was officially 'fat', there was no one who could fool her. 

Darren looked over at her and pursed his lips, "Sweets, our little tiger must be uncomfortable inside. So, he is turning around to find a comfortable position."

Xiu looked at him and groaned. She tied the sleeping gown and placed an extra pillow behind her, "Yes, so he can find a comfortable position by making me uncomfortable."
