Fidelia

"Mr Maynard! A pleasure to have you here in our humble home." The nice, polite smiling lady welcomed him warmly.

"Thank you Mrs Morrison, how are you?"

He politely thanked her before asking after her health.

"Wonderful," came her excited reply.

Following her behind, she offered him a chair to sit on and he didn't hesitate to plop himself on it.

"Seems like the bump isn't yet visible."

Nero commented with a sullen look and this received a hearty laugh from the woman.

"With time it will definitely show."

She assured him and he nodded his head in agreement before getting out of the chair to stand on his feet.

"It would be rude of me to sit while you do all the hard work." Before she could protest, he had already walked past her to the kitchen.

"Am just four weeks gone Mr Maynard, I can still move around." She followed him while making that statement.

When she got to the kitchen, she found him peeling the potatoes she had kept on the table.
