‘Next, I’m going to do an elephant with a long trunk.’ Clementine swished her brush in the jar of water she’d filled in the bathroom sink, and dried it before dipping it into the sunflower yellow paint.

‘Wow!’ Clementine exclaimed a few moments later. ‘That looks amazing.’ She picked up another brush and painted the eyes, mouth, nose and whiskers in black.

Her next animal was a giraffe, then a monkey. She planned to repeat the pattern over and over all the way round the room.

‘I’m not painting any crocodiles, because they’re too scary,’ the girl told Lavender. ‘I don’t want the baby to think they’re going to be chomped in their sleep.’

Clementine wiped her brow. Painting was harder work than she expected, especially when she had to concentrate so much to make sure that it was level. She didn’t realise she’d left a blob of red paint on her cheek. Clementine stepped back to admire her handiwork. The monkey was a bit low, but maybe she could paint a little vine to make it look like he was hanging down on purpose. Her stomach grumbled. She’d finish the frieze later – it was almost lunchtime, and she still had her phone calls to make. She’d do that first then think about something to eat.

Clementine put her paints in the corner of the room and dipped the dirty brushes into the water. She protected the tray with a special plastic cover so the paints wouldn’t dry out and no one would step on them by accident. They would be safe there until she came back, but with everyone so busy, she thought she could finish it off before anyone discovered her masterpiece. She was beginning to feel much better – everything was going to be perfect for the baby. She just knew it.
