Chapter Eleven

Scarlett

I hadn’t known a lot of pregnant women in my life, but whenever the topic arose, the women who’d been through it talked about the joy of having new life inside you, of knowing that you were bringing a living being into the world. They talked about the miracle of your changing body, of the pregnant glow, and of how beautiful it all was.

Morning sickness and swollen feet were an afterthought.

Well, the bitches sugarcoated it. It was hell on hot wheels.

I couldn’t stop vomiting. They called it morning sickness, but it was every-time-of-the-day sickness, and it was violent. Google told me that it only happened during the first trimester, followed by a lot of comments by pregnant women who had kept throwing up until the day they gave birth

Not to mention the smells. God, I was getting sick of my heightened sense of smell. I smelled everything, and it wasn’t a good thing. I couldn’t stand my deodorant anymore, I couldn’t use air freshener, and I struggled with the smell of my trashcan in the kitchen. I’d taken to leaving the can outside my front door.

Was it that much worse now that I knew I was having triplets? Google said that more babies didn’t mean more trouble, but it sure as hell felt like it. And even though Googling everything made me feel like I knew what was going on with my body, Google had nothing to say about how I could stop it.

It was pure torture.

I was hugging the toilet again when someone knocked on my door. I pulled myself up and looked in the mirror. My skin was pasty, and my hair clung to my sweaty face. I blew my nose, splashed water on my face, and tried to smile. I looked like shit. Maybe I could just ignore whoever was here, and they would go away.

“Scar?” Lily called through my door.

I couldn’t ignore her. She was my best friend. That, and she knew my car so she knew I was home.

“Coming,” I called out. My throat hurt from throwing up. I opened the door, and Lily stood in front of me, looking fresh. She was in her office attire–a blouse and suit pants, with her hair pulled back. Her smiled faded when she saw me.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

I nodded. “I’m fine,” I said. I hugged her. She pulled back when I let go and narrowed her eyes at me.

“I’ve known you long enough to know that you’re not fine when you say you are. Have you been throwing up again?”

I couldn’t lie to her. What would one more be, to be honest? But she would see through this lie. It was the only reason I had to tell the truth, which was saying something about how far this had gone, but that was another worry for another time.

“What’s going on, Scar?” Lily asked.

“I think it’s a stomach bug.”

Lily raised her eyebrows. “For three weeks? No bug lasts that long.”

I shrugged. “I’m going to make tea. Hopefully, that will stay down.
