Curiosity and the cat

"Is it done yet?" Gem asked herself while looking at her belly under the blanket that was still hurting from the inside as if something was cooking in it.

When she realized there was no one in the room with her anymore, she let out a deep sigh and laid her body flat on the fairly soft white bed, staring at the ceiling as she waited for the next wave of pain in her stomach once again.

"How long do these things usually take before settling down, Mr. Gemini?" she asked while thinking deeply about the training and lessons that she was missing because of it.

[Four to seven days, Master.] Sir Grand answered immediately, making Gem's eyes widen with the utter shock of spending another three days of laying in this bed, enduring this kind of pain that comes and goes every other minute, just by herself without being able to take any medicine or attend the classes and training that she was really looking forward to.
